Brighton versus MIGHTY CLARETS

[jackmiggins]

Defence played a blinder...........midfield mehhhh......do we have any attack???

[jedi_master]

Mee has been great is the positive - I am almost certain we would be losing right at this point with Long in there.

[Belial]

Lowton poor again. Out of position, giving ball away, weak link imo, and Barnes is doing nothing but whining all game. Get J Rod on

[SalisburyClaret]

Mee has been great is the positive - I am almost certain we would be losing right at this point with Long in there.

Definitely right

[Safron]

Lowton nearly scored from one. Granted the crossings not been great, but dont go all Donny on us and state fake news...

So if a cross went in but went hopelessly out of play you would still say it was a cross, wowsers!

[Herts Clarets]

We have 2 routes to goal. Wide men getting crosses in or looking ball to Wood/Barnes and win the second ball. Brighton are pushing both our wide men back onto the full backs so we're looking for the long ball. Is their defender 6 foot 7? Always going to struggle against that height.

If we don't change I think we will concede.

[jojomk1]

Changes needed now - expect them in 84th minute at earliest

[Safron]

Anyway I still think jay and vydra is our best forward line

[boatshed bill]

They've had 12 shots to our 2.

[warksclaret]

Mee has been phenomenal, as have the defence in general. Our midfield are struggling. Lets hope Jay and JBG come on soon rather than the last few minutes. The front two, other than a few long range crosses from Taylor have had little service. By comparison Brighton have gone down both sides quite often

If we don't change I think we will concede.

To be honest I think we've only had those 2 routes for the past couple of seasons but we've got away with mostly. At the moment, none are working

[Elizabeth]

No ones saying we can't get anything out of this game. The concensus is that after a decent start we are fortunate not to be going in behind at half time. The last 20 mins need sorting out

[ElectroClaret]

Come on you Clarets!!

[BleedingClaret]

Changes needed now - expect them in 84th minute at earliest

He’ll go Jay for Brady between 73 & 76
Then JBG for Barnes 79 to 82

[BurnleyFC]

Very good defensively so far but poor everywhere else.

I really hope we can nick three points to get our season started.

[MT03ALG]

Vydra 90+1

[bfcmik]

Vydra 90+1

Not that early!

[Zlatan]

So if a cross went in but went hopelessly out of play you would still say it was a cross, wowsers!

Jinkies you're not making any sense...

[jojomk1]

Vydra 90+1

Too early for Vydra

[Boss Hogg]

Dyche will think we’ve had enough chances to win the game so keep things the same. JBG for Brady and J Rod for Barnes for me and not too late.

[CaptainKirk]

Most people on here would pick the same starting 11 with perhaps one change. So, the coaching staff must be millionaires for devising the tactics ..............

[ceborame]

Brady going forwards is too clever for the team he's playing in

[ElectroClaret]

Wasted corner.

[Safron]

Don't think I've seen wood so infective in a game, since he's been with us

[SGr]

Another rubbish cross ffs sort this out

[SalouClaret]

Anyway I still think jay and vydra is our best forward line

[Zlatan]

Anyway I still think jay and vydra is our best forward line

now that I'd agree with

[icu81b4]

"Shocking corner" by Burnley

[Safron]

Careful you will get banned

[MT03ALG]

Vydra and Rodriguez for Wood and Barnes NOW

[Safron]

??

[jojomk1]

Don't think I've seen wood so infective in a game, since he's been with us

No service = no contribution

[Zlatan]

"Shocking corner" by Burnley

I didn't see anyone complain when we normally take them - we're allowed to have one bad corner in us...

[SGr]

Another scuffed off balance shot. Happening 2-3 times every single game now.

[ceborame]

No service = no contribution

Bollock$ , he needs to make his own way and get into positions were the ball is going to come, plenty of balls have gone in

[SalouClaret]

??

Oh, you were serious! That's even funnier.

[ElectroClaret]

Mc Neil shoots over.

[jojomk1]

Bollock$ , he needs to make his own way and get into positions were the ball is going to come, plenty of balls have gone in

He has no idea where the ball is going to come cos it's just aimlessly hoofed up there

[Boss Hogg]

What have we worked on this week in the creative third ?

[Elizabeth]

Come on lads, let's change those players ratings marks from 3 to 7

[superdimitri]

Pope sloppy kicking should have resulted in a goal for them. We're slowly letting them back in the game.

I think they'll tire more than us though. Common clarets

[Safron]

No service = no contribution

Fair play

[ian]

What have we worked on this week in the creative third ?

We'll be able to answer that if we get into the final third

[ceborame]

He has no idea where the ball is going to come cos it's just aimlessly hoofed up there

He's no idea, as thick as pig$hit

[criminalclaret]

Defence is solid. Lovely to see Ben Mee back, certainly a boost.

Attack, as sharp as a semi-circle.

Really would like us to try the Vydra + Rodriguez partnership we had after the restart. Fast, tricky, threatening.

Theyve got a 6'7" lad marking Wood FF, long ball, whenever a good one might land, is f**king pointless.

[Safron]

Oh, you were serious! That's even funnier.

Enjoy your mahou

[superdimitri]

Ffs Barnes stay on your feet for once!

[Aclaret]

Not watching the game, relying on you lot for information, sounds like Brighton must be as bad as us ! Is that fair?

[jojomk1]

Barnes falls over

[Iloveyoubrady]

Friggin hell barnes is useless
