Brighton FC - AFC Ajax: Europa League Do 21 Okt 2023 21.00u - Ajaxtalk

There's some posters seeing a glimmer of light and I don't blame them. Their squad is more expensive than ours , they have some top attacking talent. And are much bigger and more experienced in Europe than us.

Noticed that too.

It's a weird account for sure but then we had half a season of Chris Hughton's team being revealed, much to the advantage of opposing teams by an ITK on here and it wasn't exactly a user account from the MSM.

Josh Dufus exists though. It's not a comedy wind up name. Only 18 but has 4 goals and 3 assists from 8 U21 games this season. Would be very RDZ.

Yep…seems like someone else appears to be risking getting fired

I like this.
"You can hope that European newcomer Brighton starts cautiously with a lot of respect for Ajax, and is kept under the illusion for as long as possible that they are playing against a European great. Once they notice the cheese with holes..."

No goals this season !! All goals in the under 18s last season I believe. And he's a kind of a bitpart player for the under 23s

Club site says 'current season stats'.

 

[schmunk]

Didn't that young fella at Palace make his first team debut against Brighton last season? He seemed to do OK...

...until Solly slotted one past him.

1-0 to the Albion!

And they have Chuba Akpom, a man who despite spending time on loan with the Albion is still unfamiliar with over half the pitch.

Hasn’t got any league (PL2) goals according to fbref.com, and only started one game (one more sub app to add post 30/9)

The same akpom that scored against us last season

Yeah, let's stop banding his name around, declaring he is a donkey, we all know how that ends.
For the record, I think he is a fantastic player, who has been "unlucky" recently and I will stick £10 on him to score a hat trick tonight.

Then the club site needs updating.

It's still true that @AZ Gull is far more reliable than the club site, which says a lot for both him and our ability to update the furthest reaches of our digital footprint

@AZ Gull is the guru……

Cup goals/appearances perhaps ?

No appears to be last season's under 18 stats

High praise indeed, from a country that eats nothing but cheese and raw herrings.

Has anyone seen actual Ajax Fans wandering about the place as yet?

CLUE: They may well be wearing CLOGS

 

[Seat Stealer]

Ajax now 9/1 on the betting exchanges. If it all goes wrong a quick tenner on it would soften the blow.

 

[Dick Head]

So excited

were loose

Pffft. Don't forget the PANCAKES.

 

[Stato]

The same akpom that scored against us last season

Wouldn't mind him scoring another if we beat his team 5-1 again.
