[Albion] The Official Unrealistic Expectations for Today's Game, thread.

Stat Brother · Nov 10, 2019

Yesterday I did note a couple of our 'supporters' already bemoaning today's missed chances.

This coming on the back of last weekends narrative that Maupay is too wasteful, despite the Albion's shots/on target/goals being almost the same as Liverpool and City's.

With all that in mind I'd like to draw the Negative Nerys' attention to Leicester's eventual take down of Arsenal:-

19 shots
7 on target
2 goals

as well as Chelsea's utter humiliation of an abject palace side:-

23 shots
5 on target
2 goals

Last weekends Albion performance of 21/5/2 drew criticism of being wasteful.
It doesn't take the biggest leap of faith to assume any missed chance today will be the stick used to beat the player (Maupay) irrespective of the final score.

Albion’s stats for this afternoon - 9 attempts on goal, 9 on target, 9 goals scored. Ay theng yew! :cheers:

zefarelly · Nov 10, 2019

I'll take 21/5/2 today.

Man U can have 46/3/1 and I'll still be happy

Chicken Run · Nov 10, 2019

My unrealistic expectation is simply a Brighton win and nestled nicely in 5th spot.

Billy the Fish · Nov 10, 2019

As a top 8 side we really should be beating mid-table teams like Utd.

Beach Hut · Nov 10, 2019

Expectation, just get to the game as train already 20 minutes late

Raleigh Chopper · Nov 10, 2019

I am unrealistically expecting a 1-1 draw.

Tom Hark Preston Park · Nov 10, 2019

Expectation is that Trossard will start and will score a peach of a goal at a tasty price of 4/1

:goal:

Only 9 attempts.

'We were really poor in their final third'
'The midfield's pass selection was appalling'.
'Bong got lucky with all 5 of his goals'.

I've stuck a fiver on a brighton win at 5/1 and got a cheeky £1 @50/1 as Dunk first goal scorer which I thought was very good odds.
Realistically, it's obviously a good time to play them and if we play to our abilities then anythings possible.

My unrealistic expectation - the game gets abandoned when aliens land in the centre circle and enslave mankind.

I, for one, would welcome our new overlords...

Overall we're not being wasteful, but Maupay had an off day against Norwich, as it seems he forgot his shooting boots.

With all that in mind I'd like to draw the Negative Nerys' attention to Leicester's eventual take down of Arsenal:-
...

Despite your user name, you can't just draw a conclusion from the stats. Presumably some of Chelsea and Leicester's shots were from further out against a better defence than we faced. Norwich were terrible, and Maupay had a couple of good opportunities to score, but his efforts were poor.

It's ok, strikers are allowed to have an off day. Maybe some have been too critical of him, I haven't read it all.

I have a couple of quid on Dunk 1-0 at 175/1

Norman Potting · Nov 10, 2019

Connolly first half hat trick, subbed at half time for Murray who scores a second half hat trick. All from Gross assists.

...realistically would settle for a point or not losing by too many.

I think you have been watching too many trailers for the new " War of the worlds " tv series.

Kalimantan Gull · Nov 10, 2019

Man Utd flood the airwaves with tales of having seen 'The New Rooney' at Old Trafford

Coldeanseagull · Nov 10, 2019

Brighton win, 3-3 bore draw for the top two and grealish sent off in a 0-0.

Whitechapel · Nov 10, 2019

I normally never bet on Brighton, it just leads to heartbreak but 5/1 was too big to turn down.

£12 of yesterday’s winnings on us to rise to 5th with a win.

Not Andy Naylor · Nov 10, 2019

2-0 or 3-0 defeat. Nothing to see here. They know how we play and will press up very high up the pitch. Duffy won't be comfortable with that.
