Poyets gone. Garcia opts for hoofball.

I love trolls.

 

[Sheebo]

They all pressed the ball throughout which is something most of the teams won't/can't do, chill

Correct...

So posters actually go to the games then. Crowd of 12,000 and guess what, all the armchair trolls attended. Yeah right. Villarreal showed you what keep ball is.

The mere fact that you mention Villareal showed YOU what keepball is, goes to show you are indeed a fuc@wit troll and not an Albion supporter so feck off and troll elsewhere.

On the whole I thought we were pretty disjointed and lacking in sharpness, but I'm not as worried as the OP as we will not be facing Villareal every week. They were a class act with slick passing and very tenacious when we had the ball. We were more direct than usual under the previous regime and some of the long balls were aimless. To be fair, I think some of them were balls played under pressure.

Good points: Barnes and Ulloa both looked good. JFC, March and Dickenson all made decent contributions when they came on. Chicksen didn't have a great game, but it's early days. Bridcutt definitely not quite at full fitness yet. Ditto Buckley.

So you went then? A Palace fan at a Brighton game...that's nearly as funny as your joke of a club.

 

[public school boy]

I thought we started well. A quick goal and other clear cut chances but as the game progressed we did not and they did. As Jones and Garcia have said, 5 or 6 players needed. Early days so no need to panic. Another season challenging for the play offs? Too early to say but I doubt it.

THOMAS needs to have the game of his life" we have re-signed Rod Thomas?? 13 post and he wants to be taken seriously, must be the bitterness of getting beaten by Crawley or the loneleness of being a Palarse fan that brought him NSC

 

[brightonmark1234]

its only a friendly and the real test is saturday against leeds united

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Shows we have a long way to go before we are ready for the premier league. Put us under pressure and we struggle, good thing is most championship clubs can't do that for 90 minutes.

 

[del strangefish]

Disagree. Thought, even though the same team, played pretty much the same as we did against Watford or West Ham year before.
Loads of build up but no cash back. First half anyway. Was expecting a few new ideas.
Hoping OG just said play the game you know and lets see how we can improve.
Predictions Leeds 0-0 Derby 2-1.

Meanwhile a few miles north, a team....."showed you what keep ball is."

I hope to dear god we're not going to become just another average championship side. I thought Oscar was committed to the same style of football that we had under Poyet? Or are we just going to be another Derby County?

Will we ever find out why Poyet was sacked and whether it was justified? Was really hoping it would all be forgotten under Garcia, but looks unlikely going on the reports of tonight's game. What a missed opportunity it could prove to be - brilliant young manager, beautiful possession football, chance to build a real legacy, all sacrificed for a clash of egos. Barber has a lot to answer for.

 

[Justice]

Friendly game results don't mean a great deal its all about fitness and seeing the fringe players in action. On another day we could have been 3-1 up at half time not to sure why the OP is moaning.

OG has not even made a signing yet give the man a chance ffs.

 

[BHAZiggy]

So disappointed tonight. Went expecting the new flair type of football. Watched us play hoofball and lose it all.evening.
If we play anything like that at Leeds next week it could be a cricket score. Thomas needs to have the game of his life if we are to get a 0-0. We need a rapid improvement against Norwich or 5-6 signings. Absolute pants tonight.

Hush now. Grown ups are talking.

Wasn't effective when it really mattered though, was it?
Let's give the team our support and not starting moaning already huh?

Haha you for real ? Average championship side is a brilliant thing . This league is quality . Derby county ? ? Well supported passionate team with good pride and history . Plenty of youth in their side and not a bad side at all . .. Could be much much worse .

Re poyet sacking - a lot know now , yes stackable offence but one of those things that would be over looked if we wanted to keep him . It was a good chance to sever ties . Won't go into more as unsure on NSC legalities around this issue still.
