Barnsley vs Brighton and Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

[Dick Head]

What a ****ing load of shit.

Our last victory last season was game 38, at home, v Derby. Game 38 this season is a home derby game...

This is BY FAR the most viewed Albion "Official-Match-Thread".

A symptom of shattered dreams, I guess.

What are the stats like compared to the previous record LB ?

 

[Rugrat]

Cardiff is about the only decent result I can think of, and even that sounded as if we rode our luck somewhat.

Watford! Mind you, we rode our luck there too

Definitely; that was before Watford had got into any sort of form this season as well. We only won from a soft penalty, and Watford had a couple of decent shouts for pens of their own turned down.

26 lost.
15 drawn in regular time.

Also, we've played 92 games since we last went behind and managed to come back and win.

Record when opponent scores first (league games only):

2011-12 18 occurences resulting in 7 draws and 11 defeats.
2012-13 16 occurences resulting in 7 draws and 9 defeats.

So the total since playing Doncaster is 34 occurences resulting in 14 draws and 20 defeats.

Surely this has to change soon or we just have to ensure we score first.

just scoring would be a good place to start..........we could then concentrate on scoring first.

As I said earlier, the 41 games include when we have scored first and then fallen behind (and cup games). That we haven't managed to come back to win when we fall behind after scoring first is equally worrying to me.

All a factor of a team without enough mental strength. We lack leaders on the pitch, which is why Upson was a big signing for us. The only trouble is that he displaced another one.

This. When we went up to top flight last time in 1978 we had Nobby Horton as a truly awesome and influential captain in the second tier. Don't seem to make them like that any more, or else Albion can't find them.
