[Albion] Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Mayonaise]

So many of away games have been like that first half.

Totally bossed it and deserve to be ahead but a combination of not being ruthless and conceding one against the run of play....

 

[TottonSeagull]

Burnley are very much our bogey team, we just can't seem to beat them

Man City must be our other bogey team then!

 

[Stat Brother]

Dunk went from guaranteed England start to Mings understudy in one move.

 

[Swansman]

Nice first half.. wouldnt mind Trossard for March though...

 

[Mancgull]

That shows why it’s so important to get a second when you are on top. McAllister had a great chance and hit it straight at Pope. Still fancy us though. Like the width from the wingbacks.

 

[El Turi]

Good performance so far but not for the first time this season we’ve been punished for not getting the 2nd goal our play deserves.

 

[vagabond]

I haven’t seen the goal a second time.

But again one shot on target, one goal conceded. It does happen a lot has to be said.

 

[FatSuperman]

So, what are the odds on Watford sacking their manager at half time and appointing a stand-in for the rest of the season?

 

[Soton Seagull]

Overall good performance, but also shows where we have consistently fallen down - don't take clear chances and then concede poor goals (albeit a fine finish from Wood)

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I jinxed Dunk!

What a wierd goal to concede, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him make that type of misjudgement before?!

Wood has his number. Scored against him for Leeds in the promotion season, again by stealing a yard on him, that time to get a header..

 

[Steve in Japan]

Burnley are generally improved after their halftime bollocking. Normally.

Mac Allister should really have scored that, very straight forward chance. It was like he just didn’t believe in himself, didn’t know what to do with the ball.

He’s clearly got the talent, just needs a shot of confidence.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Great first half but bloody hell we need to find someone who can cross a ball.

Imagine having to watch them every week. Feel sorry for Burnley fans.

I'm not sure Brighton are good enough to display that kind of arrogance? I know the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City believe that their extra money and success gives them the right to feel superior, but you only have the money.

 

[Sheebo]

Lovely performance - really moving it well and mixing it up. Woods goal was very good tbf.

 

[Skaville]

Imagine this formation with Lallana and White for MacAllister, Burn/March.

 

[Mike Small]

Yeah McAllister has to do better with that.

 

[Weststander]

The old PL adage for every club, mistakes are punished with a goal.

Undoing our bossing the half, playing all the football.

Is it too late to get Sam in?
