[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford *** Official Match Thread ***

[GoingUp]

Done well to come back quick from the pen. We look so easy to cut through today which is worrying.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Covid in the Depor household so watching on Prime …… how shit is Rob Green. That’s rhetorical btw.

A complete non-entity who spouts bollocks every time he opens his gob.

Poor first half to be fair. Kind of expected for a mid-week fixture.

Brentford been decent enough, but not been great either.

Not much to say really. No outstanding performers, no poor performers. Mediocrity all round.

Gross finish the exception - outstanding from a true club legend.

Bring on the 2nd half. Ferguson probably coming on.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

just flipped over to citeh game. Why are they wearing claret shorts against villa? If David Cameron were watching he'd not know whether he was coming or going.

(He's going. Soon. Hopefully).

 

[pb21]

Brentford constantly playing for a foul

 

[Oh_aye]

Did Gross start at left back or did him and Hinsh swap around really quickly?

From my spec in the WSU hinshelwood, Gross and Baleba appear to be playing in all the positions depending on factors.

 

[Stat Brother]

absolutely bemused a yellow has been shown there. incredibly silly foul but never ever a card

I'd imagine the card was for the descent filled reaction to the free kick.

 

[zefarelly]

poor first half all things considered. couple of moments of real quality but other than that, very passive. don’t know if it’s just because of my bias, but i can’t comprehend how every time a team attacks us they look lethal, compared to when we attack, we look like we haven’t got a clue

We were very used to that for years!

 

[Steve in Japan]

Bit of a mixed bag, isn't it, hmmmmm? I am very forgiving given our squad situation, but that wasn't great. The clean sheet remains as elusive as ever, and we're potentially very good until we get anywhere close to goal.

But hey ho, still in it to win it.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Not gone tonight due to family (son's partner gave birth earlier, I'm a granddad again) almost glad. A very disjointed performance so far, not surprising really.

Congrats! I'm in a similar boat (any day now)

 

[oldboyroy]

Was it a penalty?

Yes, no question about that

 

[Oh_aye]

Where is everyone?

It's picked up a bit but not much.

 

[Krafty]

Hinshelwood has well & truly stepped up very quickly, great game from him so far.

Agreed, really impressed by Hinshelwood today. Probably the joint-best player on the pitch with Gross - who scored a great goal.

So they're changing make up mid game? I suppose it is panto season

In other news, If Hinsh carries on for a year like this learning from Sir Gross, he could become the new Gross, which would be nice.

 

[AlbionBro]

One of the better players tonight I agree

Fair play.

Sir, you are too kind.

 

[Horses Arse]

What kind of tackle was that , ridiculous

He touched him on the arm, possibly o/s the box, no pull, attacker blatant dive.

Looked a clear pen in real time but a dive.

What's the point of VAR?

Shitty defending for sure though

Our tactics board is basically a Venn diagram where all the circles completely overlap.

 

[The Fits]

I thought Facundo would look better at 10, he looks worse. Would he really contribute more than Sarmiento? I know he will come good but he seems miles off now, way behind Hinsh for instance. Great goal on Sunday but he just doesn’t have the consistency atm.

Congrats

Spurs fan in the making i assume lol
