Brighton (A) 22/1: Build-Up & Match Thread

[MARKakaJIM]

Great recovery from Semedo there.

 

[Jinky]

That’s an amazing tackle by Semedo.

We simply HAVE to take better care of the ball. We’re just hoofing it up the field and then waiting for it to come back.

Sarabia for Bellegarde is the switch for me. Go three in midfield with a bit more control and have Cunha/Neto as a two up top.

Carry on like this and we’ll lose.

 

[Alan]

How many fouls did he give away in the first half? I can only think of 2, and one of those he was booked for.

Imagine Pawson keeping a mental note of every Portuguese curse Cunha says to him, counting each as a "foul"...

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We're struggling to get out of our own half now.

Yep, as always, the first 10-15mins away from home of each half are always tough.

That was possibly the best bit of defending of Nelson's Wolves career, the nudge and then the tackle. Superb

 

[Alan]

Wonder what Lineker would say?

Thought you didn't care about the opinions of podcast moguls?

We've had 53 yellows this season. Rather a lot.
Only 3 clubs with more, and this is only the 3rd time this season that Brighton have failed to score in the 1st half...

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Toti went bloody AWOL there, Kilman both did well and was lucky.

 

[Carsy]

Well defended Kilman to be fair. Comes from poor ball by Doyle

 

[The Bear]

I think we've had the better chances so far. Could easily have put it in at the near post then.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

That's only a nudge under Bennett's tackle on Willian from Semedo, i just home it ends up meaning something.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Why did Dawson get booked!?

 

[Wolftone]

Why was Dawson booked??

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I guess the obvious (and only) sub we can make is Bellegarde for Sarabia, but i'm not sure that would be the right thing to do, Sarabia (generally) keeps the ball better.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Why did Dawson get booked!?

Seems it was a rough tackle on the build up to Kilman diving in and hitting the post!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Why did Dawson get booked!?

He whispered "bugger" and Pawson thought "well, enough is enough Craig"

 

[The Bear]

I guess the obvious (and only) sub we can make is Bellegarde for Sarabia, but i'm not sure that would be the right thing to do, Sarabia (generally) keeps the ball better.

Given that our best chances come on the fast counter I think it's a risk worth taking.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Why did Dawson get booked!?

Persistent infringement presumably

 

[Alan]

He whispered "bugger" and Pawson thought "well, enough is enough Craig"

"Consider this yellow as having come from your mother"

 

[Squeak]

Pedro is frustrating me tonight.... surely you keep going there...
