Remind me of ipswich but of a higher standard. Still think they will fall away after the next few games. The arrogance/ignorance is absurd!

YorkshireRam Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Have to say I was slightly underwhelmed by Brighton's performance. I was expecting a very dynamic team that would come and go toe to toe with us but they seemed very ordinary today... Both their goals came against the run of play with a lot of luck involved in the 2nd. Have to say I was impressed with Wilson, seems a natural striker and will be a key player for Brighton this season. I liked the way Brighton broke with pace, that'll serve them well over the course of the season but apart from counters, they looked pretty average going forward. Overall, I thought we deserved a win out of today. Following an excellent first half by both sides, I expected us to take the initiative and go at Brighton aggressively from the first whistle but to me we seemed to let Brighton dictate the pace (which was painfully slow for the most part). To me, it seemed Brighton were content passing it around the back waiting for a lucky break, which did eventually come. Had we taken the impetus to up the tempo and chase a 2nd goal, I have a feeling we would have taken 3 points home today because they never really looked like scoring before Van La Parra's goal. My MotM today probably has to go to Warnock, especially 2nd half some excellent challenges. However, the best player on the pitch for me was Wilson, a real threat at all times and probably the best striker I've seen us face this season.

SimonBHA Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 On the coach home, so will post some more detailed thoughts from an Albion perspective later on. Quickly regarding the first half injuries, March went down grasping at his thigh in first half. Looked like a classic hamstring pull up to me. Was amazed they didn't sub him straight away, letting him carry on to end up getting stretchered off a massive, massive cock up by our medical team. He's been sensational this past month and will be a big miss. The other injury was Calderon who had to go down the tunnel for stitches. Understand the frustration on your part as he stoppages suited us for sure but I don't think it was gamesmanship. Anyway, will post later with thoughts on the actual game itself!

So they've got another 2 weeks before they can recall him I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't comment on today Yorkshire, but based on this analysis I guess you must be pretty underwhelmed by all our away performances this season. We haven't exactly been sweeping the opposition aside with "dynamism", and in truth I think we have looked pretty average going forward (but with a good defence, solid team shape, etc). They clearly did a reasonable job on us today. Fair play to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so , on the balance of play , a draw was a fair result.. Absolute , stonewall penalty .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrowram Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Having just seen the highlights on Channel 5 Lewis Dunk clearly handled the ball with both hands in the area and we were clearly denied a penalty by an appalling referee. All the analysis surrounded the foul on Johnny Rusell which was a clear penalty. Greer belongs on Blackpool beach not a football pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be to critical of your medical team. When he went down it looked like his knee, I noticed your physio's testing his knee for acl damage, but his knee obviously didn't give off any obvious signs of serious damage and he looked to indicate he would try and run it off, sadly for him it didn't work, although he initially looked o.k when he came back on.

Harsh to blame Warnock, he was in ample space on the left and waiting for a simple pass. Our midfield totally messed up by first giving it away, then getting in each other's way leaving Warnock drastcally out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 3 hours ago, StringerBell said: Hopefully they'll show it on the highlights tonight so we can have a better look. They showed one where Weimann hit the ball at Dunk and it might have hit his hand if that's what you meant? Not a penalty for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowram Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Should have been given. Both hands is deliberate. Ref was garbage. brighton palyers were going down in the first half as though they had been shot. Hughton was known at Norwich as a percentage manager and he hasn't changed.

Are you on about the same 'handball' I'm on about? Blocking Weimann on the right side of the penalty area? Because if so Dunk wasn't even looking.
