[Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Loadicus Trux]

My optimism glass is definitely half empty.

Predict another toothless "didn't they play well" performance.

I so hope I'm wrong, but I fear this will be the case.

Please prove us wrong lads.

But we'll learn from it.

A glass half empty has room for more beer!

Saying that, I don't think we will get anything more than a draw and hoping we manage to get that.

 

[Mackenzie]

I’ll take a bad performance, 12% possession, 1 shot on target and a win.

 

[BN41Albion]

Our performance was much better than the result suggests. We'll go and take the positives from this afternoon.

'we're going to hammer someone soon...'
'the points will come...'

 

[Lethargic]

I'm optimistic all the indicators are against us but these are the sort of games we pull of a surprise 2-1 to the good guys, but I am only hoping not expecting.

We can't double up on Grealish as that will leave too much space for Barkley so Ben White to show his class by covering Grealish.

“We were amazing against Chelsea, ManU and Spurs. This is the best football any Albion team has ever played. The results will come, we’ll finish comfortably mid-table. Anyway, I’m out of NSC tonight, the bedwetters make me sick”.

 

[Official Old Man]

I'm glad I don't have to think up an excuse not to go. Having said that, it is quite within the Albion to pull off a win.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

To save time would it be easier to just cut & paste everyone's posts from all the other match threads where we played quite well but didn't get the result?

It's a toughie, most tabloid predictions have us to lose. Let's prove them wrong

Were very loose - probably 3-0. Still think we are the best of the bottom 5 teams and will survive.

Bottom 6 race for me, i think Leeds are with us.

Surprised given Villas fantastic start they're odds against to beat us. We have to find a way of Keep Ng Jack quiet, quite literally unplayable at the moment. They do have a bit of a defensive Achilles heel but on recent showings are we good enough to capitalise? My Villa supporting relative thinks we're in for an absolute shoeing. I think it'll be tighter but still can't see us picking anything up.

Don't feel too good about this one, miserable git in me says 2-0 to Villa but the ever optimistic blue and white striped eyes see a cheeky smash and grab for the Seagulls with a hard earned 2-1 win, obviously a goal for Villa as we always concede and the boy Grealish always scores against us.You never know...it's a funny ol' game!

Amazingly Lawrenson had us as a draw. Villa lost their last two home games and thinks we are still playing ok despite not getting the results. (Where have I heard that before)

 

[neilbard]

Predict not only will we lose. But heavily. Can we just list the excuses now?
Grealish is best player in world currently
They thrashed Liverpool
Var is a joke
We had 89% possession
We had 423 shots, and one was also on target
Their keeper was world class
On another day, we’d have scored those 3 penalties
Where did the ref get those extra 10mins of time from?
We played well after conceding those two early goals
Dunk is a marked man and the ref should never sent him off

What else have I missed out?!

We will learn from this.

Oh.

I think we will do a jolly good show , and MOTD will focus on poor exhausted sock boys lack of impact rather than the dazzling display from a #teamlikebrighton .

Worried. Jack Grealish is possibly the best player in the league on current form and he ALWAYS scores against us

Hopefully three games in a week is too much for him to shine today. Has been the standout player pretty well every time we play them

I’ll be happy with a point before a ball is kicked

Sit Ben White on him.
