Brighton & Hove Albion (A) Matchday Thread 1/1/16

[Parkins left foot]

WTF was he trying to do there

 

[The Bear]

Good defending from Doherty there.

Their pitch looks awful.

Fantastic challenge from EEL then just too.

 

[slink]

Well this looks a promising start at the back

Good defending?? You mean when he tried to let the ball go out and got robbed?

 

[Parkins left foot]

Well timed but risky challenge by EEL on Wilson

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Great start Doherty. One total fuck up and skinned by 83 year old Zamora inside six minutes.

 

[Jinky]

We won't be keeping a clean sheet today if the opening ten minutes is anything to go by.

 

[werewolvesarehere]

we have to make some points today..Brighton has poor form.. hope they will not wake up in this match

 

[Parkins left foot]

Defence completely disorganised again.

Williamson in as soon as possible please - no formation coming out to take the second ball from that last corner

 

[darlowolf64]

Good save by Ikeme

 

[jd1981]

Dreadful header out by EEL.

 

[croxdenabbey]

Back to 'normal', then?

 

[Parkins left foot]

Being pinned back with just long balls up to Afobe with no one near him.

Bit early in the game for this

 

[darlowolf64]

Good chasing by Coady there..put a good shift in

 

[The Bear]

Henry playing well on the counter. Our best attacking player so far.

 

[Jinky]

Horrible sluggishness to this performance so far, similar to what we saw last time the sky cameras were watching us. Why are we insisting on hoofing the ball forward in the vague direction of Afobe again when he has no one within 20 yards of him?

I agree with Bear - the pitch looks dreadful and will stop any decent football being played on it.

 

[slink]

We shouldn't be worried about the pitch because we're not trying to play any football anyway. This is dog shite.

 

[Tredman]

We look awful. No closing down, no support for Afobe and just lumping it out from the back all the time.

Terrible football - this is not the players, we are clearly setting ourselves out to sit deep.

 

[The Bear]

They're keeping the ball much better than us which puts pressure on us when we do get it back. One up front means not many forwards options either when we do as everyone is back defending.

 

[Tredman]

They're keep it better as we sit so deep they can just ping it around. We have no players forward so all we can do is either try and play it round on the edge of the box or lump it up to Afobe. All stems from really poor management for me.
