[Albion] Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[AmexRuislip]

Loads of possession but haven't really tested the keeper, we'll pull it back though, solly will score...

Might off target, but is Alex Mac dip in form due to outside noises from the family agency on alleged interest from elsewhere

 

[jcdenton08]

Agree with that but its amazing how high our bar is this season performance wise

The concerning but is the mistakes. Some of it has been so sloppy.

Hoping for a huge second half, or failing that a lucky deflected goal of our own.

 

[BHA Fan93]

Sanchez would not have saved the penalty and Steele got a hand to the deflection. Hard to comprehend how anyone is blaming him

Exactly mate, if steele had saved that goal it would of been a ridiculous save he did well to get such a good hand as he did on it, very unlucky and in no way should he be expected to save that

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Time for Undav?

Yup, bringing on a slower lardier version of Maupay should do the trick

Time for some unEarth Day like Deforestation!

 

[BHA Fan93]

The cliche is that keepers shouldn't let soft goals in at their near post.

Steele is nowhere near the level of a shot stopper as Sanchez. Would be confident Sanchez would have got that one away.

Shocking opinion from you that.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Our goal came from a deflection off there keeper but I know what you mean, when do we get one shinned in by an opposition defender.

At least 3 or 4 own goals this season. Leicester, 2 vs Chelsea, I remember another one but I think that might have eventually been credited to Solly March.

 

[kuzushi]

Agreed. Not sure why people are banging on about us looking like Brazil, so many errors in this half it's making me quite frustrated.

Perhaps we look like Brazil when they played Germany that time.

Tell me how that’s a soft goal a deflection 4 yards away from him when he’s a position for the cross? Do you understand goalkeeping?

 

[lawros left foot]

An d I thought only VAR fixed games.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Enciso is one hell of a player!

Possibly going to be the best of the lot?!

 

[Si Gull]

Enciso's turns are a joy to watch

 

[WhingForPresident]

That's more like it. Nice from Julio.

Most people criticising goalies haven’t got a clue about goalkeeping.

Ja, that was Grosch!

No, it’s because he was being played in the wrong position. He’s back where he should be Sunday and today and it shows. Runs the game from deeper.

Never seen a player turn on the move when under pressure like him.
Done it twice tonight already.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Wonder how many we've conceded via deflections? Feels like a barrowload

That’s not the question. When we try to block and press with quick closing down, the question is how many have we kept out with great blocks? And how many chances have we made in transition?

There’s a reason we try and cut shots out

 

[Whoislloydy]

I missed the restart, what happened?!

EDIT: I missed the end of the first half, didn't realize we conceded. Had to take a work call.
