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

[Marxo]

Worse things happen at sea.

The European dream has been stamped to death this afternoon.

Finishing above Palace now looks unlikely with our current form. FFS.

5 years ago in April, we were losing 0-5 to Bournemouth at the Amex.

One wonders whether this is going to be a defining fixture like the Bournemouth and Cardiff games at the Amex were.

Different circumstances certainly and we've had a great European adventure, but still this nagging feeling persists...

That Bournemouth game cost me a couple hundred quid as when I got home, rather sozzled, I kicked off my shoes a touch too aggressively and sent one of them smashing through a window.

Still time to turn this around...

 

[Farehamseagull]

I’d argue worst! Sheffield United are truly shit but at least they are shit and try! We are shit and don’t try.

And Sheff Utd score goals.

 

[raymondo]

Time to bring on Fati surely

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

The idea that this poor form is down to the club's strategy is ridiculous. These players had us in a decent league position and in the last 16 of the Europa League. RDz started moaning about signings knowing full well the club he'd signed up for, he has no plan B and just won't coach the side to be pragmatic in key periods of the game. He has either given up, lost the dressing room or is getting found out. If he wants to leave he should go now so we can get sorted for next season.

I doubt if he thought we would sell our best players and replace them with free transfers and oap's

If this was Potter, you would be ripping into him.

Errr everyone is ripping into him

This is not a blip btw. We have been poor since the start of the year. https://www.northstandchat.com/thre...ial-match-thread.406762/page-14#post-11043254

We’re not going attract many players in the summer transfer window after consistently playing like this, and without them knowing who our manager will be next season.

 

[Guinness Boy]

That explains the game being harder for him but he's completely lost his form. Even when he gets space he doesn't know what to do with it now.

Agreed - game gets harder, player loses confidence, game gets harder. It’s cyclical. Not sure anyone knows how to break it.

 

[Conkers]

Still time to turn this around...

At our current rate of scoring we need TWELVE games to score to turn this around, and we would need 2 of those 4 goals to be OG’s too….

 

[nicko31]

Just let this end, awful

 

[Washie]

We have only scored four more goals than Luton

 

[Hamilton]

Time for RDZ to go I think.

I hope the club see sense and don’t let him take us into next season.

My fear is they’ll still with him the same way they stuck with Hyypia.

Said it before. Bloom either believes in RDZ and spends big to get the players needed or he ejects him. I’d do the latter as I don’t think RDZ his wily enough.

 

[Sussexscots]

Getting turned over by Citeh115 is one thing but this is much more profoundly depressing.

 

[oldboyroy]

Now I really can't see us getting another point this season

They won't sack him.

Pedro, Fati, Igor, Baleba and Dahoud are free transfers and OAPs?

 

[The Fits]

Is it really second worst on form? I knew it was bad but didn't know it was that bad

Statistically I think we are third or fourth bottom, form wise. But clearly Luton are better given they have basically a league one squad.
