[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Cardiff City *** Official Match Day Thread ***

[BBassic]

That was a good game. Looked like things are starting to click for us, just need to put the ball in the net! To be fair, Marshall was having a quality game tonight.

Couple of negatives:

Too many balls wasted on speculative long shots.
Calamity from Stockdale.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

I thought Kaz was the biggest positive from tonight. Best player on the pitch in my opinion. And really encouraging to see that he can give it for 90 mins. A sure start for Saturday.

 

[BensGrandad]

That is a usual game from Marshall he is a quality keeper.

 

[Surf's Up]

The team could do with Ulloa upfront and Kuszczak in goal.

Anyone know where Kuszczak is as a matter of interest?

 

[swervy_123]

think this one might be a bit of a trial but we should come through it OK, good defence ect
2-1 and again I don't care who scores

An exceptional game for a keeper means the strikers weren't good enough. The best keeper in the world can't save a good shot.

we had no strikers only fullbacks , but that's the system our rookie manager plays

Don't for get our rotation system o Sami Sami ****

Lets hope Baldock proves to be the man. Looks like CMS will be missing for a while with a hamstring injury, so it'll give Baldock a run of games to show us what he can do.

I thought he was injured too?

Looks like O'Grady's chance to shine. (Or Dunk up front ?)

What you heard was us booing that useless excuse of a referee, the team played excellently and if not for Marshall in their goal would have won at a canter. I have missed just two games at the Amex and can honestly say that was one of the best performances from our team since Gus left, much more entertaining than some of the dross served up last season, definitely a work in progress i was a little concerned during our earlier performances this season but things are really beginning to take shape. Sami gets my vote. Seagulls.

Yep - clapped our boys off for a good and committed performance, booed the officials for yet another fussy and in inconsistent percormance then waited to clap Marshall off as the clear MotM. Entertaining if a little frustrating given the result which Cardiff should view as a gift of a point.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Stockdale ending up past the 'D' watching the ball gently roll into an empty net was decision making beyond belief. Frightening

 

[albion534]

Totally. My early season fears that he is not quite the ticket seem to be coming true.

We are in trouble this season

i think he'll be fine, i think he is fine

just shouldn't of come for it.

all keepers make mistakes

 

[Bold Seagull]

Looked like a blatant pen to me, but because there was a tussle to win the ball in the first place, the ref didn't want to give it.

I thought nailed on penalty, ref bottled it. There was a miss control and tussle, but the ball was then in front of Kaz and the defender just pulled him down. Would love to see it again, but it was right in front of me in the Family Stand.

.

Might be time to take a step-down from the Match-Day-Thread?

Take a couple of weeks off.

We're loosed 2 meny poynts.

...or LuaLua's card was marked for going down very easily earlier in the game. When he does that he sows a seed of doubt in the referee's mind for all decisions that follow.

 

[maltaseagull]

I suspect it's the latter.

2 thumbs down from the morons then
