Brighton And Hove Albion V Brentford FC ***OFFICIAL Match Thread***

[hitony]

This sounds utterly tedious, but it also sounds like exactly the sort of game we've had far too few of this season. Decent teams will always eke out 3 points in tight games where neither team is at their best. All we seem to do, looking over the season, is get occasional wins when everything clicks (e.g. Southampton, Wycombe, Charlton). For me, a boring 1-0 tonight would be further evidence we really are becoming a solid league one team for the first time in a few years.

Are you sure you are really a Brighton & Hove Albion supporter? or just a critic on NSC?

 

[Steve Foster]

1 shot on target by us & none by Brentford.
Can we do better second half. Of course?

In a sense that does sound about right. However, we do have an away record that many clubs would be envious of and it is not really a case of going away and parking a bus in front of the goal.

Withdean now seems to be a bit of a monkey on the back. The fans clearly don't want to be there and our players clearly don't want to play there. Psychological aspects should not be ignored entirely. There is no reason why Withdean can't become a fortress once more.

Hopefully next season it should be different....every match will be a countdown to Falmer, and we'll be able to smile inwardly as we grit our teeth against the rain and cold - in the full knowledge that we only have a few games to go before everything changes....

Please don't count chickens - Brentford came from behind THREE times on Saturday, and haven't lost in six games. They will come out fired up....

Maybe take the team up to Falmer before each home game and let them know that they won't be playing in the best stadium in the south (outside of London) if they don't win more than they lose at home.

 

[Rowdey]

Course, not too easy to see from over there. Or here, is it....

If you want more energy, the Brentford comm (from BBC London) is very enjoyable and unbiased. They even got excited over our goal!!

I'm listening now and it's the Chelsea game as the main commentary, with Palace game updates..

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Chelsea are struggling to break down Inter

Good God,are the cameras there,or Fabio?Or perhaps Glenda's significant other needs his goal bonus for essential shopping?Or has Brez threatened to punch him again?
