sempuki Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 This is going to be massive question about this group of players. Brighton have salvaged s*** situations enough times this season, it's time some of these step up. Need Brighton and Huddersfield to drop points today more than ever.

LionOfGosforth Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Squeaky bum time next week: I watched them in the cup game last week. Didn't think much of them in an attacking sense but we won't get a second on the ball so our silky footballers like Dummett will thrive no doubt You do realise they made 8 changes to that side from the side that beat Rotherham 4 days earlier, and then made another 9 changes 3 days later when they beat Reading. The cup team is very much a second string. My point was they pressed like fucking lunatics from first minute to last. So if your point was it will actually be worse when they play their first choice against us, i'm not disagreeing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 These chucked away a 3-0 lead in under 20mins a couple of weeks ago mind. We need to come out flying and find some momentum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymc1 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 We'll win this. Loving the optimism. This lot were 3 nil up at Derby the other week and threw it away. We will obviously go all out this second half and I think if we get one before 65th minute we will beat them 3-2. By the sounds of it, we've been woeful first half - we can only improve from here on in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Wonder if we'll risk 2 up top second half or is that just crazy talk? Careful now. Got to think about the balance at home to Bristol City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've proved time and time again that we can't though, absolutely zero character throughout the team coupled with Rafa unwilling to change it. How many times have we even gone behind this season?

Ronaldo Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Surely Rafa can see that the 4-2-3-1 doesn't function with Mitrovic up top, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is we're top of the league, so we probably haven't had to come from behind that many times anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDonis Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I've said this before, but it worries me about this group of players you have and their lack of mentality. Rafa's team have always fought. If they went behind, they (nearly) always got back in it. It's what's defined him in his career, and certainly when he managed us.We seem to come form behind every week to win at one stage. Ferguson said it about him. His teams always fight. And they have done. Yet this team seem happy when winning but do not react and fight when losing. That's a bad sign for a tight run in. Rafa's teams have always had strong home records too, yet nearly all your slip ups have come at home. Yes, as I've said before, he always throws in a shocking result, but that is nearly always linked to cup game on the horizon. If there's no response this second half, for the first time I'd start worrying about you lot going up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
