HaydnNUFC Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Haven't won here in the PL yet so have had to include a couple of the draws. Think we'll finally get a win here though, 0-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 That win there under Rafa in the Championship was class. We outplayed them after their pathetically soft pen, and shithoused it late on after that class fluke. Then 5 days later we tactically outclassed Huddersfield. Remember going to Shindig after that Huddersfield game and getting emotional when off my tits thinking about the future under Benitez after such a class week.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) It would be really nice to win so we can take a hammering off Man City and still have a good points total. Brighton were good today but Man Utd made them look good too. We won’t give them as much help as that. Tough game but we should be looking for a win.

NWMag Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 If we have aspirations of finishing 7th then these are the games we need to be winning. Although Brighton won today I’d back us if we perform like yesterday. We’d have stuffed that Manure team 2/3-0 today I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Would like to think we'll go there and look to win the game, although I'm still conditioned into Brighton (a) meaning a shit performance and often a hammering. Draw would be alright, win would be mega. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 We'll definitely be going there to get a win, but Brighton will be looking for the win as well. It's a good test after Forest and before City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we will not lose to City, but think we will fair better against the top 6 this season with less hammerings! Howe will have it as a target to get more from the top 6 this season, espicially at Home. Back to Brighton - will be interesting to see if they can keep their form up this season as they lost 2 very good players. Man U result is no indication for us, they are totally shite. A point would be good, but hoping for a win at last. I'm going and looking forward to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see sensible comments about our spending and giving Howe a contract and not the brain dead remarks about our owners not being ambitious.

black_n_white Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Nice to sense a little bit of fear factor coming into play with opposition fans, previously we were barely a worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Very tough game but we are much much better now than last time we played them. The onus will be on them to attack, so that might play into our hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 This’ll be a good game, we looked good, they looked good yesterday. Can see a 2-2 or a narrow win 2-1 for either side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can go into it now with a sense of optimism that we are a much better side and have hope to get something out of it. Brighton also looked great yesterday against a poor Man Utd, we will put up more of a fight and as said above it will be close with a draw most likely but, a narrow win either way also a possibility.

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 This'll be a good match, they're very well organised & are tactically flexible. I'd take a draw. A bit crackers that we won the game in March with no Bruno starting and a front 3 of Wood, Murphy & Fraser. I thought their midfield was really good when we played them but we've gone up a gear since then so it'll be a test of our progression. I think Howe will revert our style back here to more counter-based. Head says 1-1, heart says 2-1 with goals from Wilson & Miggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlymouthGeordie Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 A draw here would be a very good result. Just like us, they are really well drilled and they play through the lines superbly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Brighton will likely force us to play on the counter which probably suits us tbh, it was great dominating a game but Maxi, Almiron, Willock and Wilson are probably more dangerous on the break.

McCormick Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Brighton having a distinct play style is a bit of a double-edged sword. Howe will have analyzed and know their patterns of play (as will Ashworth, no doubt). Could give us the tactical edge in what will be a even game between two teams that play good football.

Kanji Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Will be interesting if we go and try and win the possession battle versus them. Our midfield 3 + Miggy will be ready to press the living daylights out of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
