[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham *** Official Match Thread ***

Weststander said:

There’s only so much you can do with the quality at hand. Maupay is a goal every 4 games striker at that fee, that’s okay but he’ll never have finishing quality of the best in the EPL. Trossard, gifted dribbler, awful in front of goal.

That’s what you get with a Brighton budget.

Sidwell full of praise for our attacking and very honest about Maupay and Trossard blowing it.

No one can hang that on GP.

I used to be on the edge of my seat when a chance fell to us. Now I sometimes don't even take my head out of the oven.

World Class GK performance. Love it.
Our players can't finish.

Cannot understand the substitution no matter how I try. Only an idiot would sub a creative midfielder for Davy proper when we are playing for 3 points and are the better side

Any worse. What sad entitlement.

Did you see those loses against the likes of Cardiff & Bournemouth under Hughton? You haven’t lived. Have a word with yourself.

I think we showed recently we do have a bit of fight and not just pretty stuff. So we will be okay it has to be a numbers game the more you shoot the more your score. We keep shooting, it has to come.

So it was down to great goalkeeping and not poor finishing that we didn't win?

What do you think the system is?

It's formation; it's coaching; it's recruitment. Change it.

I'm afraid that a consistent set of results tells you that the 'system' isn't working.

I thought the last time we played Fulham we drew 0-0?

If anybody is bored tonight, have a look at GP's stats as our head coach. He ranks lower than the recently departed Frank Lampard, lower than tonight's opponent's coach (who took Fulham down and back up), and lower than the soon-to-be-gone Steve Bruce. Not my opinion, but fact.

I don't want him sacked, but he needs to start winning some matches soon.

If I continuously failed at work I'd get called in warned, then called in again and be put on an improvement plan if the poor performance continued and then finally let go. I have a contract of employment but my employers as good as they are wouldn't put up with continuous poor performances. Why should we?

Brighton Lines said:

Tonight confirmed to me that we have a very good manager.

The substitution thing is easy to criticise when the person doing so can fantasise the end result.

As a layman I was looking between 70 and 80 minutes thinking that there wasn't really a change I would make. They were creating openings. The keeper was thwarting us.

t's easy to say this and that would have changed things when you don't know the end product.

The squad is a survival team that plays good football. Sadly, if they do go down, they will be a genuine loss to this league.

I've learnt over the years that the manager isn't always the problem. It's hard for fans to accept because it makes it harder for them to feel better when there is no silver bullet.

As in a getting a draw isn't the end of the world but the manner we got the draw was terrible.

Hugely disappointing not to win, but some of the negative comments on here are ridiculous. We were by far the better team, created better chances, but yet again couldn’t take them. How can anyone blame March for his goal bound shot that was deflected over. We simply have to keep the faith, as a change of manager or style of play will do us no favours at all.
Fulham have looked good recently, and yet apart from their chance at the end we controlled that game very well. We have 18 games to play and if we can keep up the level of performance we will be safe.
Having said all that, it is incredibly frustrating not to win and I’m sure all the players and manager feel that.

Yes but you don't understand, if Potter had bought them on they each would have scored at least 2 each.

I wasn’t going to say anything tonight as it’s the same on here game after game, what I do have a problem with is Hughton being selectively remembered for two bad losses despite being our most successful manager for decades.

To be honest this pretty football isn’t getting us anywhere I’d rather win ugly and go to bed knowing three points are in the bag. Do you think Burnley fans are bitching each other out tonight? Course not they are looking forward to another season in the PL.
