jackyboy Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I think it's a very unfair contest because Brighton are organised, have a plan and know what they are doing but we just have Steve Bruce and his tongue has worked overtime today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Would bring Joelinton on for Carroll and drop him deeper with Wilson up top by himself. We might actually be able to press them properly then and if not at least Joelinton will get the blame instead of ASM on the forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Playing Carroll up top and hoping for a repeat of the WHU performance is lazy from Bruce imo. Brighton's centre backs are towering, we should have used the squad and started with the more mobile, agile players in Almiron and Fraser and got them playing in and around Wilson, occupying the 3 centre backs. As things stand Carroll is dropping deep and Wilson is left to contend with all 3 defenders, poor tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Well they really did ‘have a go’ there, didn’t they Steve. 442 in 2020 with Andy Carroll starting up front. Fuck me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Where the hell did this Lamptey kid come from? Like, I know they bought him from Chelsea, but I’d never heard of him before last week... He's been doing this since he got into the team last season. They were playing 4 at the back though, and so it was slightly more tempered. Now he's an outright wing back it's terrifying.

St1pe Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 The lowest xG I've ever seen (quality of chances, virtually non-existent) Two up front, having a go etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 They should pick up Lamptey as he’s coming back into the changing room, like physically just pick him up and lock him in the drugs testing room. If they ask where he is we can just pretend he never existed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I feel Bruce's tactics could have worked if big Andy had got on the end of a cross and sent in a towering header. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Actually looking at that pen again he took the man first Aye he goes through the man, like. Even so, whether or not there was a faint clip on the ball a millisecond before taking the man; he was the wrong side of him and went in for a clumsy slide-tackle. Absolutely begging for a penalty to be awarded against you. Was clueless from Saint-Maximin, like. And now he's injured again. Belter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Bruce wants shot with s***, like. He said he played Hendrick over Almiron last week because they were more physical. Today we’re against a team who’s best player is a nippy wing-back. Even if he wanted to be negative he could have picked Almiron over on the left to combat him with his own pace and workrate. Carroll might not as well have been there today. This is correct. Seems fairly obvious too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I’m going to be massively optimistic here and say we’ll sort our shit out at half time, get a relatively early goal and salvage a point from this. I’m serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Mind you, as bad as that was, we've been in worse situations and come away with something - including under Bruce. Brighton haven't played particularly well; certainly not in the last 15 minutes. Looked to me like they got complacent with our shitness so, if they don't get a third, I can see them getting nervy in the last 20 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
