Brighton (A) 29/4: Build-Up & Match Thread

[The Bion]

Not sure you can call what we're doing a press, they're literally strolling the ball up to the halfway line frequently.

He's set us up to defend a 0-0 again despite how many times (all the times) it doesn't work

 

[The Bear]

Gomes and Podence coming on.

May as well bring Bentley on too, give him a go.

 

[Alan]

It amazes me how quickly people jump to the conclusion that players don’t actually care that much.

 

[Dire Wolf]

I like the look of that lineup, so that we'll probably get gubbed.

Whoops.

 

[jd1981]

Forest lead

 

[The Bear]

Forest lead

Much to the screams of Leicester fans

 

[YoungWolf]

Well that was something else

Hopefully the last time semedo plays, that was unforgivable

Agreed, we even saw Coady explain how hurtful this was. I get this is really poor but it's a bit of a cliche to start throwing around "on the beach or don't care now" talk, regardless of performance, sometimes this happens.

We are a side that have had some clear weaknesses, I said last week I had CF, GK and CB as priorities for where we needed to strengthen, again nothing changed.

There's been worse than Semedo today?

We're about to extend his contract apparently. Might just be keeping his value up, I suppose.

 

[The Bear]

Yeah weird take.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Only managed to watch last 15 and it could have been more.

The players might not be on the beach but it’s also not OK to be 4-0 down after 40 mins to Brighton without their best players and be alright with it because they are “better than us”.

 

[YoungWolf]

He was gutless. But he’s off now which is why I highlighted about it being last time he plays.

Kilman, neves, Nunes could also be hooked and I’d have no issue

 

[Lycan]

Perfect storm of the wrong tactics, poor performances, shit attitudes, bad luck and a quality opposition.

Sá, Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Bueno, Neves, Lemina, Matheus & Costa all with sub 2/10 performances.

In the reverse fixture I said I never wanted to see Semedo play for Wolves again after the display he put in. Today has been worse. Every time I start thinking that he's coming into a bit of form he does something like this.

 

[Alan]

He was gutless. But he’s off now which is why I highlighted about it being last time he plays.

He legitimately needs therapy over the night Davies ended his Barcelona career. If he gets beaten in the first 10 minutes of a match, forget about it; he's mentally shot.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I'm finding this criticism of Semedo bizarre, especially given what i've witnessed from Lemina, Nunes and Neves today!?

Hopefully I haven't come off thinking that I'm fine with us turning in a performance like that.

De Zerbi has crushed us tactically in a way that shouldn't happen at this level.

He really hasn’t

 

[The Bion]

Kilman's braindead on the 2nd, you don't follow a player running away from goal when you know there's another right next to you

Awful from Neves on the 3rd, just stands there ball watching while Gross is in about 10 yards of space. Half arsed closing down on the 1st as well.

Christ how do you fix this now

BBC saying that this plunges back into relegation trouble
