Were you there?

Sadly not, Fulham only allowed us 3500 tickets and they went in no time. A number of family members were there and it would seem from their reports and those of the media it was a classic away team performance.

Home team has 64% possession but only 10 shots and only one of those on target. Meanwhile the side with less of the ball has 25 shots, eight of which were on target.

As an old manager that I used to play for once said "If they want to p*** around with it in front of us, fine that ain't going to hurt us."

We set a new record in back passes against Ipswich. If you sit on the sides it is like watching a tennis match.

I imagine we will be out to beat it against Brum. Please don't press though, as that tends to panic us.

You're OK Rich .

The likelihood of us stringing together a third decent performance in a row after Norwich and Fulham is, I would suggest, remote at best.

Still I wouldn't be a football supporter if I didn't hope!

Right then, where's that Blackpool fan?

Hello!

 

[Trojan615]

The 45 million quid Rafalution pt. 3 tonight

Wonder how long it will take for them to realize that Rafa isn't really all that and turn on him

The rafalution is coming along quite nicely thank you....

The rafalution is coming along quite nicely thank you....

People may be quoting this sentence quite often this season. Dominant win and the goals were well spread.

What is happening at Derby? Solid team, decent investment, good manager. Just not working so far it seems.

Brighton back on track beating the league leaders. :thup:

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Another streaky draw. Huge amount of pressure but Burton defensive and we'll set up. No way they'll go down. On the plus side two iffy results and still in the play off places. Need it to be May....now!

Good win today against Barnsley.:thup:

Next game Huddersfield at home. Will raise a glass to one of their absent supporters.

 

[Norrin Radd]

another win for the Albion

Not tonight. We seem to be better with ten men. Anyone know the date of the final ?

a win in the egg cup isnt going to stop Brighton winning the league though.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Only taken until the end of September for the real Fulham to turn up. 4-0 defeat at home to those world beaters Bristol City. How we're now missing McCormack and Dembele and a lack of goals will be our undoing this year especially if we get sucked into a relegation fight as we go on (seems likely)

 

[Beezerk]

Where's that Wigan fan? 😂

 

[Norrin Radd]

Brighton again winning .up to fourth place

Hey we are 4th, you are 3rd ! Good to finish with eleven men, and have the opposition down to ten. Don't think I have seen a player sent off for ignoring the referee.

 

[Norrin Radd]

great win for the Albion away at Wednesday ,not many gonna win up there

 

[HomerJSimpson]

If you miss two penalties you deserve to lose. Not happy.

 

[richart]

Got my tickets for the Emirates. £10 each ain't bad.:thup: Hopefully we will take 5,000 plus.

Are there any regulars to the Emirates that can tell me what time we need to leave the match to get a train home.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Another home game and losing again. Marvellous
