AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Bwian]

Orlandi on for Lopez who has been dreadful and Bridcutt on for Ince...

Taking an attacking midfielder off for a more defensive one does not help our situation, we need a goal. Hopefully, a harsh word with the players will get their asses into gear.

You appear to be more than a little confused.

 

[GolfingGull]

Keep the faith, only one goal in it, bound to have our chances second half and good options to come off the bench. 2-1 to us.

 

[kevo]

Simple. Bmuff have worked out that the way to play against the Albion is to close us down quickly.

I think our passing has been poor all season. We were told OG was going to continue the possession football style. Haven't seen a lot of evidence of that so far.

 

[Mackenzie]

Barnes has barely had a kick, he needs a bit of support. Conway and Lopez should be doing this job but have been anonymous. The call must be Lopez and Conway off for Bridcutt and Orlandi, this will allow Ince and Crofts to push on. I'll be amazed if OG doesn't change us around at HT.

We've created nothing in those 45 minutes. COME ON BRIGHTON.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Oh come on. There's no point sacking the board. We'd still have everyone else. No, clearly the only option is to fold the club and withdraw from the football league.

I totally agree....AFC Brighton here we come...with dick at the helm and steve gritt as manager

 

[bennibenj]

so slow getting forward - looks laboured, complete opposite to last weeks performance so far

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Why are we nearly always dire when we're on t.v? This game(so far), that 1-1 draw against bournemouth a few years back, watford at home, blackpool away, the palace games last season. West ham away two year ago, the struggles in the cup against wrexham. I'm struggling to think of any games - apart from cup games against prem teams (liverpool away excepted) where we've played well. Reading and Wigan this season we've been solid but not particularly good. Am I just unlucky in only seeing poor games? Am I expecting too much? Surely we're usually better than this?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

When Howard Jones scores against you no-one is to blame.

Lol

 

[dougdeep]

Will Bournemouth tire? We can still win this.

 

[severnside gull]

when do we start playing? Looks like the early kick off caught us out.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Bridders on

 

[StonehamPark]

Bridders on for JFC.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Bridcutt on. Let's take that midfield back.

 

[Bwian]

I think our passing has been poor all season. We were told OG was going to continue the possession football style. Haven't seen a lot of evidence of that so
far.

Have you not seen how many key players are missing from this side? Are you really surprised our passing game has suffered?

 

[stripeyshark]

Ince has impressed. thats about it...

 

[Prettyboyshaw]

Lopez still on fffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk sake

 

[Twinkle Toes]

When Howard Jones scores against you no-one is to blame.

Nonsense! It's more of a case of our hapless mob playing Hide & Seek for 45 minutes...

 

[Mackenzie]

Utter gash so far we need some serious words of wisdom from Oscar at HT

A Mullery type ROCKET would be the order of the day

 

[Hugo Rune]

LIAM!!!!!
