[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa *** Official Match Thread ***

[Morvangull]

Another solid performance but also many if only moments and we could have won by 2 or 3 goals. Big plus is a clean sheet and six games unbeaten.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Well it's another point.

We are very close to being a very good side.

By far the better side but Villa defended well on the whole. Martinez played well for them as did Mings. Thought our midfield & backline were excellent.

 

[Sheebo]

That was a fantastic performance. Keeper played a blinder... Absolutely outclassed a very good side and were so solid - unbeaten run still going - we’re a top 10 side in the making - so many positives to take!

A surprising post on the bbc match thread

Far better than result proved but another point so got to be happy. Did big Bob actually have a save to make? Don't think he did.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I am astonished we haven't won that. A point gained by Villa.

I’m not

 

[Mike Small]

We are a very good team aren’t we. Not calm, cute or clinical enough tonight (and like many other games this year!).

 

[Driver8]

Well, it's a point. Villa were tired and gash so a bit of shame. But a point is a point.

Villa didn’t play midweek so why would they be tired?

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

We dominated and played fantastic.
Their keeper prevented us winning it but it's another home clean sheet in a row for us.
Looks good for the rest of the season.UTA

 

[SeagullinExile]

Unlucky that. Sets it up nicely to go above Palace next week.

 

[Wellesley]

Potter out.

Was worried about this game tonight, thought we’d struggle. Won’t be worried next time, we were excellent and continued on from recent games. Martinez MOTM and Big Bob had nothing to do tells it all really. Veltman taught sockwanker a right lesson, beautiful to see. Never gave him a squeak, same for Dunk on Watkins.

 

[Seasidesage]

Played really well without creating the one big chance we needed. Their keeper was MOM which says it all. We need a bit of presence in the penalty box although you couldn't really fault either of the front two...

So disappointing, Maupay and Trossard battled hard again to prove who is more useless

To be fair, trossard forced a few excellent saves. Maupay was bloody frustrating tonight, unfortunately

 

[Birdie Boy]

They just said that was martinez most saves he has ever done in a match, 9!!! That sums our game and season up!

 

[SweatyMexican]

So frustrating.

Thought Trossard played very well. Dangerous and inventive. Maups battled as always, looks like he’s never gonna score again though!

We are a very good side.

Totally agree I’m happy with a point. We didn’t do enough up front to get all 3
