[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers *** Official Match Thread ***

[jcdenton08]

ok one of worst. Im hurting. Really hurting. Whens the next win coming?

Ah, now that I don't know... We really have to seriously improve in our general play. It's just so lethargic and toothless.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Didn’t have high expectations with covid / injuries and so it proved. The strength of both teams is their defence and ours was stripped out.

 

[Mike Small]

I didn't say (and I don't think) I know any better - but anyone who analyses and dismisses as not good enough a player's potential on the basis of 15 minutes in a lost cause is a bit of a knob. That's all.

Oooh you broke and called me a knob.

I've watched him for more than 15 minutes (Everton and league cup). I could watch him for 1015 minutes but he won't run faster, take people on etc in all this time.

Anyway, he's hardly the problem so I'll leave it there!

Give up the wind ups on the football front please, we were mullered in the second half

No wind ups here sir but a bit sick of the knee jerk reactions.

We started the 2nd half very poorly and Wolverhampton had a couple of presentable chances which could have put the game to bed granted. However in the first half the majority of the game was played in their final third and we were comfortably the better side in fact until their goal I don't recall them getting into our final third at all. Don't think they had a shot until then, we conceded a poor goal from a 2nd phase but given all our defence is out I can't say I'm that surprised. 2nd half after a difficult first 5/10 minutes we recovered and again played the majority in their final third but without looking like having a cutting edge against the best defence outside the top 3.

It was extremely frustrating but given the issues we had to deal with I thought we coped well and didn't deserve to lose.

Lalanna will have a somewhat better career than Richards don't you think. He's won the PL. Richards attributes mean he will end up in the championship/L1. Nice player but can't help us.

Bizarre post. Really bizarre!

Taylor Richards has literally just turned 21. His football career has barely even started and yet you've already written him off.

It's even more bizarre, given the context tonight.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Just got back.
One word to describe tonight.
TOOTHLESS!

Wolves were time wasting with fake injuries from first minute to the last.

 

[sydney]

that sounded dire to be honest.

 

[Durlston]

Even though we missed the clearest chance of the whole game, and another sitter, we should have lost 3-0?

I can't even look at it again though. I think I might smash my Albion cuppa, filled with tea at the moment - out of sheer agony.

If you miss an open goal and give the opposition keeper absolutely nothing to do in the second half. You deserve to lose.

Their number 5 must have been down four times getting fake treatment only to miraculously run off after a rub from the magic sponge

 

[dazzer6666]

Just in. Didn’t deserve anything, not a surprise with so many unavailable though. Wolves had 2 or 3 great chances they should have buried…….might have won by more if they didn’t do so much time-wasting.

Any news on their number five …went down three times in absolute agony

 

[Reddleman]

On what basis? We bossed the first half until their goal and we bossed the 2nd half but for a very ropey first 5 minutes.

They scored one, hit the bar, hit the post, had three one on ones with Sanchez. There keeper almost literally didn’t have a save to make.

We got what we deserved.

Booooooooo.

Totally rudderless performance.

Roll on Saturday (well Friday really as that's when the trip begins).

Remember Jimenez wasn’t playing either….

One things pretty clear, Connolly should be sold…

His big chance tonight (again) and brought nothing to the table, absolutely zilch…

I'm not sure I've ever seen so much tactical lying down injured before. We were very poor and deserved nothing, but their killing of momentum with "injuries" was absolutely elite.

 

[Mellotron]

Mwepu's miss from two feet?

Alright…we didn’t create as much as usual today.

It was his turn to be struck by the curse today wasn’t it.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Lalanna will have a somewhat better career than Richards don't you think. He's won the PL. Richards attributes mean he will end up in the championship/L1. Nice player but can't help us.

You’re still making enormous assumptions about a talented youngster on the basis of very little game time.

And Lallana, despite a successful career, did not do much tonight either.

There, I’ve made the same points again because you didn’t take much notice first time round.

 

[Mellotron]

If I read correctly we are actually 15th for proper chances created.

I think I’m thinking more of last season.
