Brighton and Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest **** Official Match Thread ****

[The Fifth Column]

Pretty much as I expected today, we will not score goals and win games without a forward line. This isn't going to change anytime soon without at least one quality forward being brought in on loan, none of our crocked strikers are anywhere near being fit to play so to expect us to go the next 2-3 months with just Barnes as the lone striker is as good as writing off this season. Even mid table will be a struggle looking at us over the last few games, 1 win in 7 is very poor form and I struggle to see it improving. On the plus side, we get to play Palace next season.

You must be a JCL, we played two strikers in our rather splendid winning of League One, shame you missed it

Ha.....OK, L1......different ball game, and his level for sure.

JCL?......if 1974 makes me one.....so be it.

One thing that bothered me was having no players on the post from corners. It would have stopped that first goal.

Forest have spent fortunes in transfers fees and obviously high wages to attract a relatively star studded squad, so no surprise that they opened up the Albion with ease and saw out the game with 10 men. No genius from Davies or his players .... Simply about who expends most on quality players, as is typical of modern football.

Forest are almost certainly breaking FL FFP rules as they were already running with £12m annual losses prior to the summer spending spree, whereas most clubs like the Albion trying to adhere.

A punt by Forest and their new owner that the 'tax' (penalty) will be small-fry compared to PL riches, and/or deviousness that they will call monies from Fawaz's companies and close associates legitimate sponsorship income. Can only hope that the FL police it and weigh up sponsorship deal amounts to the true fair value someone would pay for non-PL football. Quite a lot of stuff on the internet about their antics since the takeover.

Who put the contract out on you ?

Who put the contract out on you ?

 

[brightn'ove]

We're struggling financially with 27k crowds. Who are we going to buy with 15k crowds?

Don't forget that we are also struggling financially, with the biggest gates in the league, AND the highest ticket prices. Something is very wrong there.

Lopez has been absolutely dire, what's going on?

Just winding you up because of your poor memory
