[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United *** Official Match Thread ***

[oldboyroy]

Up and down 1st half punctuated with a great goal from Ayari. Been too loose in possession at times and they have matched us. Looks like an end of season training session littered with mistakes between 2 poor quality teams.

Dunk has looked really good today, let’s hope that stays the same second half.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

I can’t believe that people are grumbling….. whatever the possession or run of play, Albion are ahead with a makeshift defence. If you are there - Give them a cheer!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Excellent display from an injury hit Albion (how many best XI are WHU missing?).

They started exploiting our makeshift RB last 10 minutes, would love to see Velts after HT.

Solly has been effective at everything, such an intelligent player.

A shame Adingra’s lost all form.

Stunning goal.

I’m sorry but can you edit this post ..positivity does not fit in on a match day thread

 

[jcdenton08]

I can see Adingra and Wieffer going as a BOGOF deal in the summer

Wieffer has been one of our better players that half, as he was one of our better players in the last game.

Apparently Potter hasn’t been involved in a team that has won from behind since playing for Solihull Saints under-9s when they won the West Midlands Junior Challenge Cup in 1983. Trailed 1-0 at break and ran out 3-2 winners.

I'm bemused - all week it's been "we are too easy to score against", "we're too open at the back" etc.... so we've sat deeper, shored up at the back (you can only play against what's in front of you) haven't conceded and we're one nil up at half time. But apparently half the side should be subbed off, certain players shouldn't play for us again and we're gash......

........seriously what do people actually want?

 

[One Love]

Our left side today is the stuff of nightmares.

Pervis overcommits himself so often and Adingra is just a waste of boots.

Brilliant from Ayari and so happy for the lad.

Wieffer bless him can't do anything right in attack.

Dunk has looked really good today, let’s hope that stays the same second half.

Looks far sharper today

 

[Machiavelli]

We are not doing anything to stop them down our right hand side, Welbeck is coming back to help Estupinan but he is nowhere quick enough to get anywhere near Win Bassaka.

Our left side, their right side

 

[Albion my Albion]

Whilst you are right the difference is that Ayari is quality and adds a lot all of the pitch. MOR is crap and adds nothing

So MOR is actually less not more.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Dunk has played very well so far. Made loads of vital blocks. Wieffer filling in alright at RB. We're doing alright for a side with two midfielders in defence.

 

[London Irish]

Wieffer has been one of our better players that half, as he was one of our better players in the last game.

Because he’s such a disappointing performer, the bar is always set this low

 

[Zeberdi]

Adingra doesn’t create space as a wide receiver and his crosses are abysmal. Need Mitoma on asap in the second half to help get a cushion before WHU even it up.

March looks knackered. Not sure he has another 45 in him. Doesn’t help that he has no support by O’Riley who I don’t think I have seen sprinting forward since he came into the side after injury.

Time to bring on Mitoma, Veltman (and Minteh if March needs to come off) take off Weiffer and Adingra - let’s put this in the bag.

 

[Stuart Munday]

I thought Weiffer had his best half for us.

Wieffer has been one of our better players that half, as he was one of our better players in the last game

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Adingra is looking poor, Weiffer very comfortable, Dunk looking better, MOR in some good positions. Let’s push on , 3-0.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Ok.

So rumours of Dunkys demise appear to be greatly exaggerated. He's defended the box terrificly.

But Ayari has been our best player, so positive in possession.

Baleba has dug us out of a few self inflicted holes.

Verbruggen made what at first sight appeared a magnificent save.

But

They are getting in behind the full backs with alarming ease.

March is looking half fit at best

The comments on Adingra are fair. Horrendous decision making.

Mixed bags from wieffer o Riley and welbeck

To moan
And they are very good at it

To be in control of a game against a team one off the relegation spots? The second half will be entirely about if West Ham take chances. Should be more in control of our fate against limited teams

Weiffer has been really good, so I hope not
