Brighton & Hove Albion vs Reading *** Official Match Thread ***

[Blue Valkyrie]

Although the result in isolation doesn't matter at all the fact that we played our all our first string strikers who failed to spark yet again is a worry to me, six seasons of not having enough quality up front is starting to grate.

Hopefully we'll get Leo back on a half season loan on January 1st to fire us to top 2

And that is why I didn't go

Our biggest problem and tye one that will cause alarm was the delivery of the balls into the box. With 1 man advantage it was almost inevitable that we would attack them which we did but every delivery especially from the right and deep was aimed much too near to their keeper so made his job easy. This coupled with a good display bh their central defenders ensured a victory. I am sure that this will give CH concern.

He would not solve the problem our problem is the striker playing off Hemed or Mùrray.

With you on this one BG

He has a record of a goal every 2 championship games.

At that rate he'd already have 4 this season.

That'll do for me.

Just what we need, a slow coach poor on the deck.

Just praying that Reading don't get a home tie against Man City or United now though

We want Norwich to get a home tie with Man United to distract them and lose hem League points. They might win as well.

Rosenior is out for months though right?

A big blow and one not anticipated so early in the season. I don't think Skalak is any better than Colunga and Lopez, yet.

Manu for a start?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

It is becoming ever more clear to me that there is a tendency at the club not to invest in strikers. I wish I knew what was behind this.

Agree. Or why teams like Brentford with their moneyball approach like ours seem to pluck them from thin air while we tit around with relative dross. What IS our problem?

Would have been a cracking trip for us.

Would have been a great scramble for tickets. At least all that unpleasantness has been avoided.

League cup we would have been given plenty tbh!

Oh well, one less distraction on our march towards world domination.

What, to Hull?

Norwich to play Leeds. Best if Norwich get distracted by a Cup run.

Brentford last year finished 24 points behind us whilst we titted around with relative dross.

So far this season they've lost to Rotherham, Exeter, and Huddersfield and have the same points as us.

Indeed. Newcastle drawn at home to Preston. I'm sure their fans are dying for another cup run. Benitez has a very good cup record.
