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

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Yet we're still above them.

As we fuckin should be based on how long we’ve been in the PL, our size, revenue and the money we’ve spent compared to them!

Could we also say RDZ was crippled with player injuries last season? I did at the time.

RDZ gave up. I think the players have given up for FH . . . . Or some of them, the glaring issue is Dunk . . .I honestly think he thinks he's better and/or knows better but he's lost it, totally, and dragging us down. I wonder if he's part of the problem in the dresing room.

the new boys are a work in progress . . . We just see glimpses every now and then . . . . Most of them will come good.

Weiffer played well today.

FH needs to grow a pair, quickly.

The club captaincy needs to change.

 

[Dick Head]

Very correct, Dear Friend, very correct

it was a self refilling prophecy

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Decent fight in the last half hour, but just too easily played through at the back especially given the quality of the Brentford attack. Line too high again, Hope JP is ok.

 

[Reddleman]

I'm not taking sides here, but you can't say that because something is an ambition it will definitely happen, but that's what you seem to be suggesting here.

That’s fair; but if it is an ambition it’s clearly something you want to happen. As I said if you come ever so close and just fall short then maybe that’s okay but we are falling apart, six without a win at the most crucial stage of the season. Hapless defending, lose to Palace, lose to Brentford two defeats Bloom will not like and just my opinion but the pressure is now firmly on the manager.

I had a lovely family walk today, including a fun game of Pooh Sticks, followed by a tremendous steak and mushroom pie in The Six Bells in Alfriston.

Everyone else had a good day?

 

[Home and Away]

Some of our players will be playing CL next season!

Agree Dunk was really poor today

 

[Ethelwulf]

But apparently, it's all FH's fault!

For gods sake man he has to take some of the blame at least he sets the team up and gets out schooled by nearly every manager during the game

 

[willalbion]

Big balls required, we appear to be sporting little shrivelled ones.

 

[Brian Munich]

Although mathematically we can still qualify for Europe, we ain't good enough

The players we have available for the run in certainly aren’t good enough to get the 10+ points required.

 

[Hamilton]

Aiming for Europe and saying “we’re definitely going to be in Europe” are not the same thing. I’m aiming to spend a night of utter debauchery with Sabrina Carpenter, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.

There’s certainly more chance of that happening than us putting together a performance under FH.

Enjoy your evening.

Do you genuinely not see any of this as being down to FH?

 

[portlock seagull]

Top 10 is a tough ask now

It’s was weeks ago, only the rose tinted fools thought Europe was possible never mind top half. A lot of our fan base can’t distinguish between diamonds and diahorreah. Veterans like me can, and called it out weeks ago yet still the toxic positivity idiots believed it was possible. Idiots.

 

[Weststander]

Thank you Tony, thank you Fab, you’ve created a cash cow in recent weeks.

 

[tedebear]

It’s pretty simple for me, when Dunk was injured we had a few good games. Now he is back, we are awful, backwards walking football with chaotic hospital passes. So sorry to say that about Lewis as I have always been a fan of his, but its like watching your modem dial up sometimes. If FH is responsible for selection, then FH and LD are the issue at the moment…..And JP needs a few pegs knocked off…

 

[Marxo]

Another crap week, avoid motd, avoid all football podcasts, avoid all football bulletins, drink too much.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Thomas Frank is nearly 20 years older than FH, has been in charge at Brentford for getting on for 10 years and had experience of coaching before that. They are not in the least comparable, particularly given the level of injuries we have.

Well fair play to Brentford for appointing a better and more experienced manager then! I don’t understand your point? From what you’re saying, if we’d appointed Frank or someone with his experience, we’d be in a better place so you’re actually agreeing with me?

This appointment stinks of arrogance as a club as far as I’m concerned. We are a poor team now and with the players available to us, we really shouldn’t be.

Do you also want to compare the money spent by the two clubs if you’re going down that route? Revenue? Infrastructure? And Brentford are also not a good example to use with the injury excuse when you look at their record over the last two seasons.

 

[Hamilton]

I'm not taking sides here, but you can't say that because something is an ambition it will definitely happen, but that's what you seem to be suggesting here.

But we can say that FH + £200m has not met the ambitions of the hierarchy at the club.

 

[fruitnveg]

We need a complete rebuild at back. Keep Perv, JPvH and Velts. I'm not sure anyone else has a claim to stay. Either perma-injured or past it.

Not even sure i'd keep Perv on recent showings
