trabuch Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 It's a (generally) well liked and well run club. Lots of similarities to us a few years ago. No chance they'll win the league though. They went through absolute shit when they lost the Goldstone ground. Good luck to them I say (helps that I live down here now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider they’re historically a lower league club. But what’s been built there over the last 2/3 years is seriously impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancognito Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 7 minutes ago, st albans fox said: toe to toe means man for man we didn’t do that - maybe the charity shield where they played a pretty weak side when we won 5-2 we had 28% possession kompany game we had 39% which was better but 7 shots to their 19. Maybe we were more expansive that evening - I don’t recall In the Ricky goal game we only had 33% of the ball but we matched their shot tally so assume we were more aggressive that day Contained them pretty well then Nacho was through on goal and missed. Not long after Kompany puts that thunderbastard in the top corner and Rodgers didn't play him for about half a season. I think all those sides though were nowhere near the level of this City side. Haaland and Alvarez are on another level to Aguero and Jesus IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pointed out they never sell anyone without knowing who they'll get to replace them. Quite eye-opening to hear a football club director being so open in the media AND sounding knowledgable. If only we could have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 Said to my dad at the weekend, we watched them play Chesterfield in the Third Division. They were just starting their revival with Zamora up front whilst Chesterfield had Dyche at the back. Eqaullly I saw Brighton turn up with less 300 at Oldham in League 1. Both of the other teams mentioned are now in the National League whilst Brighton are in group stages of European competition. Utter mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shailen Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 I genuinely think we were better than Brighton in our prime between 19/20 and 20/21 than they are now. But you have to applaud one of the smaller teams breaking the monopoly of the big 6 without spending their way to success. They've done really well.
