Title: WBA v Brighton
Post by: Blawarmy on February 27, 2021, 02:27:47 PM
Home win?

Post by: Tabby on February 27, 2021, 02:32:23 PM
Brighton set to play WBA off the pitch just for WBA to get a goal in the 94th minute with their second shot of the game.

If you think our forwards have problems with converting chances, Brighton is on an entirely different level.

Has to be, last chance saloon for WBA, 2 winnable games for them I think coming up. BHA lose this and the pressure is on when we pick up 3 points tomorrow.

WBA win is best. We need teams above us to drop all the points they can while we pick up as many as we can. Lose our games and it doesn't matter what WBA does.

That cock up had nothing to do with VAR.... Referee ballsed up majorly by blowing to start when the goalie wasn't ready. VAR only checked the fact of whether it had crossed the line before his subsequent whistle. Harsh on Brighton, ultimately correct decision. The cock up was blowing to start in the first place.

Very reminiscent of the Malbranque penalty at Loftus Road against ManU (Barthez) a few years ago, except Malbranque should have rolled it in ad forced teh referee to decide one way or the other. He had too much integrity for me!!

My only 'worry' is WBA going on a run - with Big Sam there they are not out of it.
I would prefer them to be out of the race sooner rather than later (draw to Brighton & Newcastle) will do that

It really is baffling watching Brighton. They look so good but their finishing is awful.

They don't look like a team capable of a run. They're not even the best team today, but they are winning which is nice.

Well if W Brom win this and we beat Palace, they will still be 8 points behind us but Brighton will only be 1 above us.

Blimey, I did not see that coming. Brighton really do have an air of relegation about them! They have a tough next 6 fixtures, much like us, but if we can win tomorrow and that's a big IF, we could be competing with up to 3 sides for that spot and suddenly, those odds of survival start to increase. Essential we win tomorrow now though.....

That free kick early whistle mess/disallowed goal could turn out to be one of the most important moments in the year in our favour. What a mess that was. We needed a break and Fulham got one right there.  My word, Lee Mason will be staring at the bedroom ceiling all night at his house. COYW!

I only saw the Wellbrck penalty and the ref blowing for his attempt from the rebound.  Hendry hadn't any idea why the ref blew up, as he touched it again with anyone else  playing the ball, incredible from a former England International. The Sky commentator then suggested it might be that Wellbeck was in an offside position. That to me was even worse than Hendry's lack of knowledge.

According to the Sky Sports Soccer App, Brighton's attempts on goal in the past three matches totalled 66:

vs Villa 26 (FT 0-0)
vs Palace 25 (FT 1-2)
vs West Brom 15 (FT 0-1)
