Brighton v Wolves (A) 02/01: Buildup and Matchday Thread

.

No, keep going! You had this called!

 

[Jinky]

Is this really on Nuno or is it on the players for so badly taking their foot off the gas?

aaaaaaaaaand here come the excuses...

 

[Deleted Cyber]

On the plus side the refs been fine

It's on Nuno.
We have shown time and again that we cannot hold on to a lead. I dont know what he sees in Kilman but he keeps bringing him on at crucial moments and the plan doesnt work, we dont hold on and see out the game

Is it the tv or is Silva just that slow, it looks like he doesn’t have a running gear

 

[prawnking]

Maybe we should all chill and stop winding each other up. It's already a tense match

 

[Jack Regan]

Tough to blame Nuno for his most experienced player giving away a penalty 16 seconds into the 2nd half. Football is often about momentum and that completely put Brighton on the front foot.

Your captain and most experienced player dangling a crazy foot out to gift a penalty, and a header from a set-piece doesn't exactly scream "Nuno's fault" here though does it?

 

[PuntsWolf]

5 at the back is shit. Cant keep the ball in the middle of the pitch. Can’t defend it either. 3 players holding hands offering nothing. No idea why he’s change to it. Vitinha was doing nothing but he’s a body in the right part of the pitch.

But at the end of the day, without Moutinho being a fucking moron the game is won.

 

[Premier Quality]

Traore looks the only one who’s going to create something here. We’ve gone very quiet

 

[YoungWolf]

You can't legislate for Joao giving away the penalty but that is the same for anything. The reaction of the team was embarrassing, that always falls on the manager. It's something we have to be better at full stop, retaining the ball under pressure.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

It may just be my memory but throughout Nuno’s reign it seems like we’ve had a habit of shitting ourselves when teams are attacking us and we’re trying to hold on.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Where you could blame Nuno is signing players for 3 at the back and then abandoning that system leaving us with two DMs at CB.

 

[redvictor]

Got to bring Theo on for me. At least he might be able to hold the ball up.

 

[robert63]

A draw is the same for us as a loss, this team doesn’t have any grit but when you got to play total defense because of the 47 million flop

 

[Tredman]

Traore is winning so many flick ons and the players just stand there and look at him.

 

[t3ch]

silva off please

 

[Parkins left foot]

Hitting and hoping now - Adama the only one up front who is likely to create anything or we get a set piece and Saiss does what he can do.

At 3 - 1 up we should have been seeing this off

 

[prawnking]

Traore is winning so many flick ons and the players just stand there and look at him.

That's his fault, he should do better flick ons

 

[redvictor]

Why would you just try and hang on when you could be attacking and making them defend.
