Brighton and Hove Albion v Derby County ****Official Match Thread****

[Gazwag]

Shirley a ref in a big game should be competent he owes us big time for that massive mistake in playing the advantage just before their penalty.

 

[glasfryn]

England women are winning 2-0

 

[Northstander]

Derby look quality......jfc needs to come off...bring on the 2nd half!!

Up the Albion!!!

 

[GreersElbow]

Not sure how bringing on Ince is going for it. Would rather see Mackail-Smith for Buckley and Lua-Lua for JFC, move Calde to midfield and go 3 -5-2

Ince would offer us the ball winning midfielder we need, he could drive forward when he was playing which helped a lot. CMS for Buckley, Lua Lua for JFC and Ince for Orlandi.

Shift it to 4-2-3-1
Andrews-Ince
Lua Lua - CMS - Lingard
Ulloa

 

[JTR938]

I'm going to say this now.

JFC really isn't up to scratch, he has been awful. Orlandi is being constantly bullied off the ball, we're crossing into a box with only Ulloa in it surrounded by 4-5 Derby players.
We have openings to shoot, but choosing to pass sideways or backwards. Buckley may well have a knock.

Why are we not playing Kemy and Ince together in the midfield? Why on Earth has Kemy not been played all season?

It's frustrating, because for the first 15 minute we were playing great football. Garcia really does need to step up the urgency in the squad, otherwise, we've got little chance turning a deficit into surplus on their turf..

Agree!
JFC - waste of space! Get off immediately
Orlandi - makes a fosters shandy look strong!

 

[hart's shirt]

7 corners to none from them.
2 shots on target to 1 from them.
63% of possession to 37% for them.

If one believes the stats, we've clearly been the better team. But we've been undone once on the break and they've been lucky once.

Plenty of time to turn this around.

 

[Lethargic]

How come we play 1 up front and still get over run in midfield where do the other 2 attackers go and it's amazing what you can do when breaking with pace we really should try it one day.

 

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

Derby are so much faster at moving the ball in attack. We need to increase our attacking temp.

This. Balls to anyone who thinks differently. We're far from out of this - we just need to get JFC off (who has been anonymous at best) and win the second ball in midfield.

 

[Sompting_Seagull]

Lua Lua on for Buckley, come on Albion.

Not sure if you're serious??

 

[imissworthing2]

I'll eat my own cock off if we win this.

I'm actually quite calm about the second half now. We're not good enuf to beat them with the style of play we have: mostly likely they'll pick us off on the break and it'll finish 3-1

 

[Mackenzie]

We can get back into this, its only the first quarter of the match. Plenty to come off the bench, Ince for Caskey (who looks off the pace tonight), Kaz for Buckley (who looks like he's carrying a knock) and we've got CMS and March still available if required.

Chins up.

 

[NickBHAFC18]

Come on kaz!

Keep hearing the statto's all season but the one that counts is that we can't score enough goals

 

[glasfryn]

lets have a bit of
passion and get at them

 

[maltaseagull]

Looking more like 1-3 than 2-2! come on boys.

 

[Miami Seagull]

Have to hang on here for 20 minutes or so or we could concede 4 or 5.

 

[glasfryn]

East got his specs on at last

 

[glasfryn]

Calde has passion
