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

[Algernon]

You've just got to laugh haven't you.

















No, actually you haven't. W**k.
(Not an instruction, especially if you're at the game)

 

[portslade seagull]

Can't really say I'm surprised at another goal conceded. Squad clearly not as deep as we thought it was. Work required in January me thinks

 

[Marxo]

My weekend starts when we play on a Saturday and it's started badly.

 

[Washie]

We are so easy to play against

 

[Solid at the back]

Couldn't even bring myself to watch today, got soccer Saturday on instead. Never do I watch this over our game. But this was just so predictable, could be a messy afternoon.

 

[nicko31]

Too easy for Forest

 

[The Fits]

We need to start being honest about how awful our defending is (and shot stopping).
We've basically forgotten to do about 60% of the most essential things in football..that isn't just about Injuries. That's still a strong back line.

 

[London Irish]

Another Brighton lad had just walked into this random bar I’m in in Hong Kong, we are massive

 

[Farehamseagull]

We’re so predictable at the moment - did ANYONE think this would be anything other than a loss?

Bizarre decision to start Ferguson ahead of Joao Pedro unless Joao Pedro is unfit.

Yeah, not such a problem when you're scoring lots as DZerbiball is supposed to be all about, but the goals have dried up at the moment (in the league at least)

 

[GT49er]

Going to plan - give them a goal start, so they'll then sit back ten men behind the ball so that we get much needed game time practice breaking down two banks of five. We may not succeed, but boy! - do we need the practice.
Also gives us an excellent chance to work on our technique for preventing second and third breakaway goals when we are piling on for an equaliser. Time to take more risks at the back too.
Couldn't be better...............

 

[Mustafa II]

Soft goal to give away.

Apart from that, we're looking good. Sharp.

I'm still optimistic.

I like your positive thinking!

 

[The Fits]

Well they can't get the ball off us. But then scoring that early is a worry in terms of them having at least one more decent chance.

 

[Algernon]

As fans, are we asking too much?
Not to concede an early goal.
The mental struggle continues.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

We have all the defensive solidity of that custard that someone was fantasising about in connection with the Minogue sisters earlier in the thread.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Sheffield united already losing . What a dropped 2 points that was last Sunday

 

[amexer]

Who was it that gave ball away in midfield which set them up

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

the fact we have 5 u23 players on the bench should indicate why we are struggling...

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

This forest side are not very good. We made that goal easy.
