[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa *** Official Match Thread ***

[Chicken Run]

They better put their big boy pants on for Saturday

Yep a loss on Saturday will be ugliness personified

 

[DJ NOBO]

Standard home defeat to Villa, that

 

[Ethelwulf]

Think we need a couple of nasty wanky players dark arts in our team we are just too bloody nice .

 

[birthofanorange]

Weird decision not to start our best midfielder Baleba, weird decision not to play Minteh at any point, flat as a pancake against a Villa team who weren’t that great - hoping for better on Saturday

I get the feeling that you're not,

 

[London Irish]

Double post - NSC functionality on iPhone even worse than our performance tonight

We need Veltman.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

To be fair, if it was against us it would have 100% been given as a foul. You can see why they do it.

There’s a time to try that but you don’t do it when you leave a dangerous attack on if it’s not given. He needed to stand strong and delay the player, not get one touch and fling himself to the floor.

Can't see anything but, with our lightweight team.Palace will be licking their lips at facing us.

Will Martinez get a second booking for time-wasting? No - of course not.

He gets away with this over and over.
All refs lack the bottle for a 2nd yellow when he takes the piss.

 

[worthingseagull123]

Awful

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Tired.


1-1 would have seemed about right.

Oh well.

We'd need to be able to defend simple counter attacks and create chances to have got that score.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Think we played quite well but more concerned by the potential narrative of 'we're young and inexepreienced. The team and manager is growing. Our time will come etc'. I never really felt we were going to score today.

Villa just bided their time and got their goals. No messing around. We don't really look like we believe we will score. No goals in two home games.

Cashin looks good doesn't he . Alarmingly slow. I'm not a fan of Ayari and his shot at the end was pathetic. That said, our two most dangerous moments today was his free kick and pass to Mitoma.

On tonight's evidence no chance we will finish above Newcastle and Villa. Can't stand them but they are stronger than us sadly. Would be great to win on Saturday.

Disagree with last paragraph bit spot on with the rest. Oh so predictable. That game on Saturday I can see as being the thorn which bursts our bubble this season.

 

[London Irish]

The result was worse than the performance. We played well without scoring, and got done three times on the break. I’m still proud of the team, I just want us to be more incisive.

You’ve clearly got a proper downer on our manager, I’m still very much onside.

No I think he’s done well this season. When we have a off day you are allowed to say so

 

[Simster]

Can't see anything but, with our lightweight team.Palace will be licking their lips at facing us.

Yes, after thrashing 9 point Southampton, they'll be fancying their chances against a European chasing team I'm sure.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Adingra has been so poor.

He always is. So weak and underwhelming. Massively over rated by a lot of our fans.

Need to cut our losses in the summer and shift him on - be pleased with any profit we make on him.

Joel can't come back too soon

 

[oldboyroy]

Fab will be hurting tonight like the rest of us. Saturday is now massive but fear a Palace reaction to them only drawing at saints!

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

O’Riley just ran into people when he came on. Atrocious.

Cashin. Sorry but that debut screams lower league player.

Gruda quiet

Verbruggen had little to do and did none of it

Thought Pervis was our best player

 

[maltaseagull]

Unfortunately, I've got my 1st score predictor right

I forecast 1.3 boo.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Absolutely was not trying to buy a foul. Smashed in the face.

He does it time and time again.
