[Albion] Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Is it PotG?]

'Where's our striker gone?'....wtaf was that about?
The poor possible excuse of one we had got himself sent off.
'Sake.

Three points would be a wonderful present on my birthday weekend.

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...

 

[Is it PotG?]

Anyone at the game report on the atmosphere amongst the support? Definitely heard some negatively through the commentary that’s unusual at away games.

Some of the moaning bollox was farcical.

FH Post match interviews do not help him at all today again full of the usual soundbites we must learn from this and stick together . Shows f*** all passion he is bloody lucky to be the manager of our club : he may be a great coach in the future but now is not his time

Isn’t he a natural 10?

JPVH has been discharged from hospital following today’s game. No news on the extent of any injury etc but it’s good news he’s on his way home.

What is a natural 10 FFS?

A player who’s best position is in the 10 role?

What makes you think, on what we've witnessed thus far, that he's a 'natural 10'?

I really don’t get all this “shows no passion” stuff.
i would rather have someone who can stay cool, calm and collected. Sir Alf Ramsey never got excited about anything, and he won us the World cup. I’m old enough to remember it and him very well.

Agree Dunk was really poor today

He's been our downfall consistently this season.

I've never been his biggest fan, but he has been brilliant at times, and for a long time in our modern trajectory . . . 15 years. That's off the scale for a Chelsea fan!

FH is a team player, but it sill doesn’t prevent a pile of shit. Verbruggen the worst PL keeper statistically, the eternal RB achilles heel targeted by every opponent, little protection for the defence, only two quality CB’s in the club, the mad defensive line at the half way line. Radio Sussex just said we’ve conceded the most counter attack goals in the PL with 11. Fck all done about that, no adaptation whatever the hand dealt.

Aspinall now is damning of the playing of players with no confidence.

I bet Dunk thinks he‘ll be integral to our next season. Can the club and the next manager make the hard call?

Wieffer …. I rate him and posted on the match thread at 3pm that I was pleased he was chosen.

Agree with everything except Wieffer, we’ve overpaid for a journeyman performer who’s already been overtaken in CM by so many youngsters

Journeyman? He’s 25, and every move he has made has been upwards. Last season with Feyenoord he won the cup and finished second in the league, and the season prior he played for them in the Champions League.

Did you use the wrong word perhaps? Journeyman means a player with a large number of clubs, usually much later in their career. If in ten years he had played in India, China, MLS and the Slovak second division he might be considered a journeyman…

The weather is getting better and warmer! It's almost summer!

Where is our favourite Swede in anticipation of the game next week between two of the most out of form managers who aren't in the relegation zone?

It’s a reference to the fact we have only one striker who can play a full game, Welbz great as he is can’t do that any more - so yeh. Interestingly this one ain’t Fab’s fault

He did some good things today, but he does seem very average for what was paid for him. His decision making is often very poor and he has some very irritating traits - the worst of which is flinging himself to the floor in dangerous defensive situations.

   Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to Premier League Productions: "I think we controlled the game. Played a good first half then we make too many mistakes. It goes back to 3-1 out of nowhere and we receive a red card. We show character and nearly make 3-3 but in the end not good enough."
   On Jan Paul van Hecke: "Not a great feeling so we just wish him all the best and hopefully he's back on the pitch soon."
   On the second half: "That was a bad start. We needed five or ten minutes to adapt and that can't happen."
   On the defeat: "I have to analyse it then we will find solutions for it.
   "When you saw the reaction in the first half that was good. It's not about confidence. When you win everything is easy. But in these moments we have to stick together and trust the process.
   On fan criticism: "Yeah, in the end we have to make the decisions that brings us the success. I tried to put some fast players like Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March, more midfielders on the pitch to control the game. In the end we didn't get the credit for the courage we showed.
   "In the end it doesn't help when you lose a man but he said sorry to the team and he will learn from this."
