[Jamesimus]

Wright has been quite wasteful against Preston and again today.

He has. That is my only real criticism of the team from that half.

[Winny the Bish]

It’s not. I’m convinced they’re watching a different game.

People are allowed to be frustrated with poor finishing and poor individual performances.

 

[Nick]

Rudoni is clearly off the pace but actually I think we’re playing good stuff, just the finishing’s been off.

They have hit the bar and had the one disallowed. Wright has missed everything.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Seems to slow everything down

He wants too many touches, as if he has to add his own touch to everything rather than just moving it on quickly.

 

[TomRad85]

He has. That is my only real criticism of the team from that half.

Agree, it's not been that bad at all. Need to be more ruthless second half.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I thought we played well and created enough chances to be winning

Nah only bits. People queued up and got told nothing left

Frustrating half. Van Ewijk far too cagey when attacking. Grimes and Rudoni off their games. Sakamoto quiet too. Giving far too much time to put crosses into our box.
On the plus side, Mason-Clark causing them all sorts of problems.

 

[Paxman II]

Rudoni and Torp need to show up. Grimes not having his usual influence. Not using our width to any great effect. Ball is not dropping for us particularly. Enough of the sideways/backwards passing. Where's the surging runs? Feed sakamoto and get in the box. Kind of frustrating as we are giving Bristol a bit of confidence. Need to step up a gear and play our game. BTA is a miss due to his ever present nuisance and causing panick. It will come and should be game over. Too many miss passes going on, focus needed.

 

[RoysterE17]

More of the same 2nd half just with abit of killer instinct. Poor half from rudi today

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Wright has been quite wasteful against Preston and again today.

Yep, not the only one.

People are allowed to be frustrated with poor finishing and poor individual performances.

They are. I didn’t say they weren’t? Just pointing out that we haven’t been shit etc, because, we haven’t. Some individuals haven’t finished their chances. If you’re pointing that out, then it’s fair enough.

 

[The Nomad]

Sadly, we just look like a team that the opposition have managed to suss out.

 

[lordsummerisle]

Apparently not a handball for the Bristol goal.

Apparently not a handball for the Bristol goal.

We got bloody lucky.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They have hit the bar and had the one disallowed. Wright has missed everything.

Bloke who hit the bar was offside and goal correctly disallowed. The finishing is what’s missing from the performance, the rest is there.

Yes can see us ending 6th or 7th

 

[Chris1987]

We need to up the pace . Some of the build up play has been too slow. Rudi not yet up to speed .

 

[fernandopartridge]

What's evident for us really is that we can't really afford any player to have an off day, our form is reliant on at least 7 out of 10 performances all round

 

[The Philosopher]

Rudoni looks like he’s believing his own hype and overplaying things. Grimes looks off it a little bit.

 

[TomRad85]

Rudoni is a burden to the team thread is loading.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

It is a bit frustrating, but there is too much bedwetting going on at the moment.

It has been an alright half. Our end product seems to be a bit of an issue, and they've got a bit too close for comfort at times. Need to be a bit sharper and we will be ok. Hopefully we can get an early goal and click through the gears. We have a lot more to give in this game I think.

 

[bukayosakamoto]

We're in a relegation battle here, how many more points do you reckon we need to guarantee staying up

 

[Evo1883]

Seems to slow everything down

I just think his free type role he has leaves our attacking play a bit dysfunctional at times .. theres no player where there should be etc .

Hes obviously not 100% either .

He will be alright im just moaning about the half out loud

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Wright has been quite wasteful against Preston and again today.

I would bring Simms in for Wright.

Think they need to relax a bit more and I think if we get an early goal they will.

 

[Nick]

Change for them

 

[steve101]

Think Simms is unfortunate to lose his place to Wright. Rudi is currently a hinderance. Hoping for a better second half performance

Agree. Confidence at a high, scoring regularly, Championship player of the month. What more does he need to do to keep the shirt?! Let Wright earn it back, not just given it back.

I imagine he will come on this half at some point.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

We are too frantic and not calm enough to be fluid. Rudi is running around like a headless chicken and not knitting things together like he should. BTA is a big miss. Saka is really not doing anything. Wright is too selfish and should’ve passed to Rudoni when we had that chance.

Things go quickly when they are free!

Add one on

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Every half, commentator says...cov playing [for example] left to right, which might be ok for radio coverage, but for tv coverage, it's completely wrong, as the commentators sit on the opposite side of the pitch to the cameras.
