[Albion] What I Learned Today

Tyrone Biggums · Sep 20, 2020

I learned a nice big bullocking forward would be a fine piece to have with Maupay, Connolly and Trossard buzzing around him.

Means we could occasionally lump it up forward and have those nippy types causing chaos with the loose balls.

Springal · Sep 20, 2020

It was ‘only’ Newcastle and even ignoring the goals, I thought Maupay had a near perfect game. What he does in terms of scoring is as important as what he does off it / contributing to the team

Tyrone Biggums · Sep 20, 2020

I think March after Bissouma is our hardest player to move off the ball. Sure he doesn't have tricks but he's quite physical in his play so no easy balls around him.

I think I know who knows what they are doing/talking about. But do carry on please.

Why can it not be that Potter knows we don't have the answer at the club and March is a best answer until we get soemone? That I totally agree with. What I'm saying is I think it's clear we've been trying to get an LWB all summer and if March was the answer we wouldn't be looking for one. And on that I agree too.

But thanks for your comments... yours have as much value as mine

Hmmm....re: March I did say he did nothing wrong and I am not criticising him. I just don't think he is the answer. Ideally I want two LWBs who can defend and attack and at the moment we don't have it nor do we have the time to wait for March who may become one. March as back up fine but we need a bit more.

We do wear blue and white striped sunglasses sometimes

You said March isn't an upgrade on Bong. Bong would stand no hope in a LWB position, his crossing is atrocious and he doesn't have the pace. March is far superior in every facet of his game.

Carry on ? Gladly

Keyboard warriors? Grow up ffs

I don’t think March is shit and didn’t say that , as for Potter he has to pick his best LWB as his disposal , and ..... you guessed right , it’s March , as Bernardo showed against Pompey he’s not good enough

The club through the media like Naylor have maintained they would like to strengthen that position , maybe just maybe the manager knows his options there are limited

March defensively did very well , but in our system the LWB needs to show a bit more going forward .

I don’t think that’s harsh , just how it is . And if we are serious about a top 10 finish then every position , particularly LWB needs to be looked at

March not an upgrade on bong? Possibly the most ludicrous thing I have read.

He should have buried their one chance

This tweet aged well.

Reddleman · Sep 20, 2020

I think March did fine, he takes less risks than some players and works really hard for the team.

What would be exciting is having is having someone with Lampteys pace down the left. Imagine the damage we could do with blistering pace down both flanks.

British Bulldog · Sep 20, 2020

Biss was a silly boy who will learn, Lamptey needs to learn to bounce, White is quality and never write off our strikers, ps Graham Potter is brilliant at winning 0-3 away from home on the first away game of the season

5) March.... meh. Did nothing wrong at LWB but didn't do anything right either. Not an upgrade on Bong really hope he's growing. Looked much better on the right. Still think we need a LWB and another SC and then we'll be really scary!

Did nothing wrong - but did nothing right either. I take it he wasn't in the team then...............

Talk about mealy-mouthed.

Palacefinder General · Sep 20, 2020

NM makes me nervous with his penalties.

Pavilionaire · Sep 21, 2020

I think the main thing I learned is that Ben White can play right back, and continued making those forward runs that Lamptey made. This is important because the chances of Lamptey picking up an injury at some stage is very high.

Re Solly March - I think he held Manquillo in check, I think he has linked well with Webster and Alzate, physically he looks stronger, and as one of our longer serving players he is vocal and just plays smart. I don't think he gave the ball away once today.

Yes, he isn't Lamptey but he is keeping Bernardo out of the team on merit.

Baldseagull · Sep 21, 2020

I learned that Newcastle have not scored against us at St James' in the Premier league, and that in a game where every Brighton player does well, some on NSC will have a moan about Solly March not being Tariq Lamptey.

Uh_huh_him · Sep 21, 2020

It would be great to have another Tariq Lamptey, but come on!
Most Premier League clubs would like to have 1 Tariq Lamptey in their squads.

Live by the sea · Sep 21, 2020

I thought march played well . Every player was a 9 except Lamptey who was a 10 .

deslynhamsmoustache1 · Sep 21, 2020

Biss = when flair goes bad. Simple as that.

Guinness Boy · Sep 21, 2020

Good analysis? The OP was mostly a statement of the obvious and wrong about March.

I thought that was March’s best game he has played in this division.

......as a wholly defensive left back yes.... provides virtually nothing in an attacking sense, which even Bong and Burn have done before him. Weak link, and will serve only to add more pressure on Lamptey on the right as our playmakers use his side as a preference.

Yep, you do need a rest from NSC.... it's not for you. This forum is famous for its variety of alternate opinions on players and tactics..... you might say that is it modus operandi.... or am I just stating the obvious? Duoh!!
