Brighton and Hove Albion vs Watford ***Official Match Thread***

I am concerned that we seem to play one up front until we are 2 goals down and then play 4.

Just not good enough - every time we are on TV.

I have been ill over the last few days, was hoping to get to the match. Got as far as the car and was sick. Now I feel sick to the stomach

 

[Mackenzie]

CMS, Hoskins, Dobbie, Barnes and Lualua on the pitch together

 

[shaolinpunk]

Oh how I'd love to have a strike pairing like Vydra and Deeney. Lightening quick pace teamed up with a physical presence, both of whom know where the goal is.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Watford have completely outclassed Brighton.

 

[Lawson]

You are not wrong there and sadly, if we have any ambitions for the future, he is not the only one - so let's concentrate on staying up !

last season we had so many injuries you didn't even know who would be on the team sheet between leaving the house and getting to the stadium, yet we had character, aggression, and hard fought victory. When we beat southampton 3 0 we had sparrow score a brace and jake forster caskey put in a top draw performance, not to mention cook and hall. Of these 4 players 2 have been shot of, one has been on loan, and one told he has no place at the team! Nonsense, not to mention the lack of support for cms and barnes, the latter of which was a godsend last season.

Hate to say it, but well played Watford.

Too good for us.

Watford - a team cobbled together pre-season out of odds and sods I believe and look at them go. How long have the backbone of our shit side been in place by comparison? Utterly ridiculous.

Out muscled, out played, out smarted. This is my first negative post about Poyet but really starting to wonder if he can take us further. The players dont look up for it, despite playing in the best stadium out of the Premierleague in front of 25k passionate fans. It is laughable that we dont play with a tall presence up front - all the other Championship clubs rely on a tall physical striker. Relying on a 5 foot 8 stiker who has never played up top by himself to bring home the bacon is too much.

the bet with my other half still stands that Gus will walk before the end of the year .....time is running out
don't want it to happen but I have had the feeling for a long while now

 

[Bigbelly]

I think this will bring the sack Gus brigade out over the next few days. There is no pace about our team what so ever. Watford with that last goal showed us the way we should be playing. Counter with pace

Wake up and smell the coffee. Gus is clueless.

Televised matches are just jinxed, always disappointing.

Nothing to do with television, we are just not good enough, or should that be not well enough organised - What does that say ?

26727 pissed off punters

 

[Steve.S]

I can see us dropping down the table. No one can convince me that we are promotion contenders.. Mid table at best

Maybe it has more to do with our tactics and the way we set up. Just a crazy idea mind.

 

[Lawson]

thats because our plan b is to do the complete opposite of what we did before. Hence why lua lua is now back in the squad, for some stupid reason he often doesnt get picked (when he isnt in court i mean).

 

[northampton_seagull]

Udinese B have completely outclassed Brighton.

I have corrected this for you.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

What the hell is CMS doing chasing the ball in our own frickin' half!?

 

[Husty]

Just not good enough - every time we are on TV.

Just not good enough full stop, tactics, selection both at fault and the players just don't look up for it. None of that has anything to do with some TV cameras around the stands.

 

[portlander]

Completely clueless at the moment
