Brighton and Hove Albion vs Derby County Match thread

Is VAR used for all of the goals too? For their first goal it looked to me like their number 9 was offside and in Roos' line of vision. Not seen any replays though. -
Exactly we paid over the odds for both because the agents and clubs involved knew we were desperate. We were happy to pay the only people we can blame our ourselves, likewise Cardiff..for the amount paid. I think the only avenue Cardiff have is deciding if there was any negligence with the form of transport.

Said the same yesterday, he's a complete waste of a shirt, especially when everything is so static up ahead of him. If you want someone to run for 90 minutes, collect a pass off the centre backs and give it straight back to them you could get a 16 year old to do it on minimum wage. -

My main worry is that it is the same mistakes, both tactically and individually, that are costing us games. Too slow starting games. Too slow moving the ball. Too many long balls to a lone striker. Inability to stop crosses. If I was seeing improvement in these areas I'd be a lot more comfortable, but it's like groundhog day. Long gone are the quick passing and pressing and I'm not really sure what we are left with. Extremely worrying that it's been pretty much Roos, Keogh or Tomori that have been MOTM for the last 2 months. -
I didn't mean to suggest that we have been underperforming all season
-
Would Cardiff have gone down this route if there hadn't been this terrible accident? Whether or not they are legally obliged to pay is a case for others to decide, but surely the amount is the amount that was agreed between the two clubs? Perhaps we can claim a refund on part of the BJ and Butterfield transfers 🤔?
-
There would certainly be goals....but quite a few in our net with that midfield I think....
-
If true then maybe a bit underhand by the agent, but its obviously a common practice. You agree the price, you pay it. Had the 'inflated' price been too much then you walk away. You pay what you think the player is worth surely. Maybe all of the players Cardiff have sold should be looked into to to see if the Agent has embellished the truth to get a better deal. Its really difficult. I can understand, when sentiment is taken out of it, Cardiff doing what they can to avoid payment, surely most clubs would but sadly someone is going to lose out financially here.

Derby winter beer festival before the game for me, so will be watching with my beer goggles on. Come on you rams.

Pretty much agree with everything apart from the end of your second paragraph. Surely if their contracts are up and they're looking to renew then that should be enough motivation to put performances in, unless they're trying too hard and their form is suffering?
-
Our performances have been fairly average of late, we have a much easier run in than our competitors, have games in hand and players are coming back from or to come back from injury. I am confident we will finish in the top 6. But we should be going into every one of these remaining matches playing for a win and a convincing one at that.
-
In fairness to Roos he hasn’t really been given a run of games like he is getting now because of Carson form and lack of injuries. I think Roos has probably done better than even the management team had thought he would and is genuinely competition for Carson. He’s definitely surprised me and fair play to him. As much as I like Carson maybe it’s time to look forward given the way we want to play as his distribution isn’t the best.
-
You haven’t had much bang for your buck Angie that is true. I still think we will make the playoffs and who knows from there - Huddersfield got up without winning a playoff game. Difficult for Frank, but in truth other than Roos (maybe) there is no one l would offer a contract renewal to from a pure football perspective. I think the affected players know that (Brys, BJ, Nuge, Thudd, etc.) and therefore that must have some impact on their motivation and form. Assuming that the loan players all go back and aren’t reavailable, there are in truth very few current players I feel I would want to see in the first team squad next season, even in the Championship. Keogh, Marriott, Waghorn, Bogle, err, Carson, Davies, err, err - I am really struggling. Fortunately there are some promising U23s, but I read somewhere oncethat you win nothing with kids. Lets hope King, Cole, and Mount on his return, do re-energise us over the coming months.
-
Yep totally agree. Specially cosy during cold/rainy weather at night. The feeling when walking into my home. Peace, quiet and warm.

Top 3 not top 7
-
Is it obvious? Carson has been our number 1 all season until he got injured, until he’s back fit we don’t know what Lampard’s plans are. Roos is out of contract in the summer, he might want out having been here a number of years and failed to establish himself as the number 1. He might sign and Carson leaves, Walton comes in as backup. Either way I wouldn’t say it’s obvious.
-
Against which yardstick are measuring that we are underperforming though? The games against Man Utd or Southampton in the cup? If you look at the Gaussian distribution of league performances this season the normal is probably a 6 out of 10 standard so this is the normal for us. Would be far more accurate to say that we need to increase our average level of performance from where it has been so far this season to have any chance of being in the top 6 come end of season but I would argue against saying we have been underperforming all season.
-
Yeah I was gonna mention that in my post, bit different though as he obviously had the rep beforehand of having played for England etc.

Isnt this the same situatuon we got Carson? From a struggling Wigan team that got relegated

Hm, we obviously want to replace Carson which is the right call imo but tbh I think Roos is ready for the job. He was fantastic yesterday and is good at distributing as well. Can’t say I’d be too excited by a goalie on loan at Wigan who’ve been struggling really, would he be an upgrade?
