[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United *** Official Match Thread ***

[AmexRuislip]

What did Bart do wrong?
Webster was shocking exposing him on all three goals. Thought Bart did well.

No need for a GK change. Bart did nothing wrong

Dunk and Webster were terrible today. Webster should be replaced but Dunk got dribbled past tons of times today

FFS I didn't think that BV did anything wrong, just I think Steele will be back v Toon as that game will need experience.

 

[dangull]

I thought the Pervis barge was a penalty 1-1 at that point anything was possible. Webster had a mare.
I never thought that most sides in the premiership coming to Brighton these days would be just waiting to counter attack.

Veltman,steele,adingra,jpv and Pedro should all start next week.. Billy gilmour played well

Gilmour was our best player till he got subbed.

Welbecks been off it this season so far, Webster is better than today, but today he was gash. Schoolboy defending

Agreed except Adingra. Not sure he's ready yet

 

[American Seagle]

Totally disagree. Howe will respect our attacking. He'll keep it tight and know his attacking players have enough on the break. Absolutely no need for them to out football us.

Exactly. They will be well drilled and know they can break and overrun us. I suspect they will comfortably win. I think this season is going to be a mid-table affair for us as we re-build after having the vultures feast.

Bad day at the office. We move on.

 

[Icy Gull]

Newcastle will be very very confident watching that. What did you learn from Everton Roberto? Not a lot on the face of it so can you do something this week with the team.

He also needs help from the club. Big boost if we can get 3 in.

Newcastle will be a much more difficult proposition than WHU were today

 

[American Seagle]

FFS I didn't think that BV did anything wrong, just I think Steele will be back v Toon as that game will need experience.

I think we missed his passing today. The big Dutchman was a good choice overall as his ability in the air is superior which was a requirement today. Against Newcastle I think we may see the need to the fast short passing Steele brings.

 

[Eeyore]

Penalties? There were no penalty decisions to be had today. Ref had a good game.

The handball query wasn't a penalty, but it makes folk feel a bit annoyed about the one given against Dunk.

I thought the Pervis incident was a foul. It depends on how you view a shoulder barge. But it was off the ball. I think the ref got it wrong.

Bad day at the office. We move on.

Bad day at the Office. Few hours of bed wetting. Then we move on!

 

[Washie]

Today showed how poor both of our center backs are. I want to see Igor and JPVH against Newcastle

 

[Guinness Boy]

Appalling against a low block again. Loan Webster to Crawley

Wtf are you on?

I'm not so sure. West Ham were going to be happy with 0-0, I doubt Newcastle will be. The game will be more open from the start which should help us.

Not a chance Dunk will be dropped, nor should he.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Newcastle will at least come out and play. Which means we won't have to spend ninety six minutes trying to get past a low block

I’m not sure you’ve watched much of Eddie Howe’s Newcastle side away from home against good sides then?

Expect more of today next Saturday just with better players which is a bit concerning. Big week ahead for us.

 

[birthofanorange]

That could easily have ended 3 -3 and I reckon we'll stuff the Geordies.
Every cloud...and all that.

 

[Farehamseagull]

There is no way Newcastle will make it an open game.

 

[Garyoldfan]

We lost to a team we usually beat. We weren’t bad. They scored when they had the chances. Bart could not have done anything about those goals. West Ham fans celebrating like they’ve won the Europa league instead of the Europa conference . We carry on.

 

[chrisg]

Even Ferguson was off it. One near the end was directly at the keeper with power, could have just side footed in the corner.
Not impressed with Pedro unfortunately so far for 30M
