Rushworth with 5 saves

im-confused · Saturday at 1:18 PM

Their wingers are very good and I feel could be the difference here if we’re not careful

Get BTA off the fucking pitch

He's saved JDS numerous times

JDS is having an awful half

he’s been poor but he’s got tomas asante in front of him who although trying hard is extremely poor defensively

if you told me at the start of the summer we’d be lining up against one of the toughest opposition in the league with JDS at left back with BTA ahead of him to help out out of possession i’d say that’s a poor transfer window

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · Saturday at 1:18 PM

Rushworth kept well that half. DaSilva getting tortured, Rudoni and Wright not really in the game. Still really tight - need to get a bit more slicker and a bit more clever

fernandopartridge · Saturday at 1:19 PM

We've got a left back up against probably the best winger in the league and because he's been beaten a couple of times he's having a stinker according to SBT

The posters complaining about ref every fucking game should not be taken seriously that's for sure

Think the ref's been pretty good today so far. Couple of decisions not gone our way, but nothing out of the ordinary. They'll never get them all right.

Hardly stunning shots he had to 'save' though

Alkhen · Saturday at 1:20 PM

Very happy with that. This season we are so close to being amazing, still feels a bit like a knife edge though. Need to start taking chances, the press is good but we can and will get caught out sometimes.

Ccfcisparks · Saturday at 1:20 PM

Would take a 0-0 at full time.

Very little quality game to be honest outside both of their wingers.

Ref has been fine despite what people are barking about on here.

Got to love a match thread.

I don't agree BTA has been poor defensively here though. He's covered for Dasilva well multiple times in that first half.

DT-R · Saturday at 1:20 PM

They haven't overly threatened us as of yet. A few chance shots from distance. As the games gone on BTA has had to drop deeper to help JDS double up.
We've seen plenty of the ball and kept them penned in at the back, but..... our passing has been poor. We look panicked on the ball. We seem slow in transition.

The one before half time took a big deflection to be fair.

stupot07 · Saturday at 1:20 PM

Solid half. Theses are the first decent team we've played this season, and one that isn't just sitting back parking the bus.

SBT · Saturday at 1:20 PM

It’s going to be a mismatch on our left side no matter who’s at LB unless we change our formation

baldy said:

Been tidy. Good handling - far from easy some of the saves he's made.

Otis · Saturday at 1:21 PM

Bitty first half that

Looked good in possession at times, but a lot of wrong decision making.

Their right winger has had JDS on toast. He looks a very decent player.

Their threat is from the flanks. Not showing too much elsewhere.

No idea how this game is going to end up.

SkyBlueAussie · Saturday at 1:21 PM

DaSilva doing well against their so-called superstar. Everyone helping out in defence also.
Good half.

He's been beaten countless times, and caught in behind at least 3 times. Lets not be ridiculous.

PVA · Saturday at 1:22 PM

Bright start but poor last 15/20 mins, just not clicking in possession like it has recently.

BTA not remotely as effective as EMC who has been a big miss.

The 'Dasilva is having a stinker / total liability' shite is so boring. He's been fine. He's up against a great player.

Briles · Saturday at 1:22 PM

Tbf if Wright had been playing left wing we'd have lost that first half. BTA working hard to cover JDS. Leicester have done a good job of keeping Wright quiet. Grimes needs to step up a bit as captain

Fair play, but 5 saves you'd expect a professional keeper to be making! None of them shots should be troubling any keeper, especially a professional one

Not really getting at them to be honest, bit of a flat performance. Pisses me off watching them all be pally and happy with it as it is so far not like its a derby or anything, should have that extra hunger and desire to fight for 3 points, need to stamp our authority on the game and feel we’re really missing EMC here, BTA has been really good in supporting Dasilva (who has been struggling against Fatawu)

Yeah, agree. It's so much more about the quality of their winger, than the inability of JDS

baldy · Saturday at 1:23 PM

Mowbray looks like he's about to doze off any second & curl up on that sofa in the studio

Dno that last deflected one is the type that usually goes in

Liquid Gold · Saturday at 1:24 PM

The sort of game that we could really pull away in if we had some quality wingers.

Playing a system that requires two wingers and only having two in the squad is so poor.

Dasilva is up against the best winger in the league. Of course he’s going to have a difficult game, doesn’t mean he’s been poor

The shot from James or winks (can’t remember who) early on where he got down quick to turn it round the post was a great stop.

SkyblueTexan · Saturday at 1:25 PM

Decent half from us. Think BTA should have scored within the 6 yard box when it fell to him and miskicked it. Otherwise, they’ve had shots on target that Rushworth has dealt with comfortably.

Brighton Sky Blue · Saturday at 1:25 PM

Evenly matched first half, we've been getting into some good positions and then been imprecise. The Lesta game plan is pretty clear, isolate Fatawu against Dasilva, so BTA has actually done a decent job supporting him down that side.
