Rafa needs time. It's a completely new side. He took a few games to get them on side when he took over last season. He needs a month or two to work out what his best side is. Once he does I expect us to turn things around. Shit start but it's a long season.

Shelvey was alright but needs someone next to him, Ritchie was the best player on the pitch. Janmaat may as well play RW cos he can't defend for shit and the other 3 were piss poor today. The new keeper looks worse than the 2 we already had. Gayle missing the chances that would have won us two games

Shelvey was alright? :lol:

Well, this will be Mbemba's second season here and if what I read is true, that the defending and goalie was awful again, they may need to rethink our whole back line again!

 

Let's hope that Rafa can get those feckers to play as a cohesive unit before it's too late.

 

Oh yeah, then there is the offensive part.

Not exactly a great start is it though? Where do you think our form is going to come from exactly? Mitro perhaps might focus the attack I guess.

No, it's not a great start. But there's still 132pts still to be played for. There's still 22 home games and 22 away games left. We could lose 10 more games and still finish with over 100pts*. It's not time to be saying "if we continue like this we'll go down." because we don't know what the side will look like when the new players are settled, any future signings are finalised and 1st team are all back.

 

Mitrovic will provide focus and a physical presence up front. I think he'll bring more out of Gayle and Perez and certainly more from our wide players. I think that'll add to our ability to defend set-pieces too. 

 

I think Diame and Ritchie are good players in this division and will produce for us, given time. 

 

I think our form is going to come from the realisation that we've the strongest squad in the division and the confidence that players like Mitrovic, Ritchie and Diame will bring out of the others. 

 

Rafa's got a few things wrong and should be criticised for them, but lets not meltdown after 2 games. 

 

*I, in no way, think this is going to happen.

I don't think anyone is saying we'll go down... Brighton apparently lost only 5 games last year and failed to get promoted. We've already lost two.

 

We need to get our act together.

Welcome to my pre season post match thoughts.

 

We're dooooooomed.

 

 

Keep playing like that and we'll be relegated again

 

Absolutely fucking shite

Alright but one of those is CT. I mean, come on.

 

I think honestly, most people are worrying about us not getting promoted. Gpirlo probably just said that straight after the match in frustration.

 

Yes I know that means you're technically right anyway. Git.

I know that most of it is an instant knee-jerk emotional reaction to a disappointing result against a side most didn't fancy. But Huddersfield are going to surprise a lot of teams this year imo.

 

I think worrying about not getting promoted after 2 games is way too early, especially when we've not yet played what most would consider our 1st team.
