[Albion] Brighton v West Ham - The TOGETHERNESS battle

[Simster]

Think we're going to win this one. Decent run to the end of the season incoming. Then we can switch from 'Sack the manager and tear up the model' to 'We're going to qualify for the Champions League next year' again.

I'm bringing BOTH sons in my seemingly endless quest to get them both involved in Albion affairs.

It will therefore be 0-0 or perhaps 0-1. In fact, I can be more specific: West Ham will spend the entire game pushing the ball side to side at the back, we will be absolutely gash and have no idea how to get the ball off them, then fail to take 2 or 3 presentable chances. They might get a presentable chance, and if so they will score from it, and Graham Potter will officially have saved them from relegation - and would probably even put it on his CV.

 

[Ding Dong !]

You can guarantee West Sham will score at least a couple on Saturday!

They will with our shambolic defending

 

[Weststander]

Will Bowen, Paqueta and Kudus all Cashin?

 

[RandyWanger]

Hello West Ham, Dr Brighton will see you now.

Just seen Niclas Fullkrug's very angry interview after their result at the weekend, and he's definitely not a happy sausage. With us, and them, both having players publicly calling out a lack of togetherness and not fighting for each other it's going to add something to Saturday with both teams having a lot to prove. I can see Potter using the hostility of the Amex towards him as a Fergie style "us against the world" to bring that togetherness out of them which is a worry. What's our thing that's going to bring the players together when we go behind to a goal on the break having spent 25 minutes doing everything except score ourselves? If they couldn't do it for all of us with Palace, and couldn't do it for the Big Boss against Brentford, what's left? Do we have enough Potter-legacy players left in the starting 11 to get back that revenge energy they had when he came with Chelsea?

A promise of a 'where in the world is ...' thread on NSC for every single player perhaps?

The Process It is what it is Derby.

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Worryingly he is the exact sort of striker that Dunk struggles with.

Is there any sort of striker Dunk doesn't struggle with at the moment

 

[A1X]

The Graham Potter Derby.

The Out of Form Derby.

The Our Manager is Shit Derby.

The “no YOU’VE ruined Evan Ferguson” derby

 

[AmexRuislip]

Yes agree. Was only addressing the legacy Potter players. Of which on the field it's Dunk, Solly and erm.. that might be it?

The legacy was that long ago, Hürzeler was a member of the St Pauli FC U5's on a visit to the Amex!

 

[AmexRuislip]

The Graham Potter Derby.

The Out of Form Derby.

The Our Manager is Shit Derby.

Only if Muzza was still playing for us, he loved scoring v West Ham.

 

[Bob!]

Good point. However poor our current form maybe, the very fact that Both Potter and Bruno will be in the away dugout, could be more than enough to keep the faithful onside for this one.

Am I allowed to say that I still love Bruno?

 

[Dibdab]

Dont 'worry Joao Pedro will bring us all together again with his arm waving when we're a goal down.

 

[pigmanovich]

Dont 'worry Joao Pedro will bring us all together again with his arm waving when we're a goal down.

From the stands?

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Am I allowed to say that I still live Bruno?

Live with him Bob? Live like him?

 

[dazzer6666]

Am I allowed to say that I still live Bruno?

You can, but it makes no sense

 

[Zeus]

Dont 'worry Joao Pedro will bring us all together again with his arm waving when we're a goal down.

Joao will find a way.

 

[A1X]

Am I allowed to say that I still live Bruno?

Only if it’s Frank.

 

[Van Cleef]

I'm glad it's at home. Whenever they start playing that Bubbles crap at WH I get an irrestible urge to insert my thumbs into some imaginary braces and do an exaggerated Cockney walk on the spot.

 

[Anger]

If neither side can play as a team, then I think we are going to see a 7 year-olds park kick-about with everyone chasing the ball.

I have no idea who will win and I guess that’s how a park kick-about should be.

 

[Bodian]

They might get a presentable chance, and if so they will score from it,

They won't need a presentable chance. Just hit something towards the penalty area, and Dunky will put it in the net for them!
