So, it’s obviously too early to panic, but it’s a little unsettling that we’re clearly lacking in goal scoring, and yet the two attackers we spent 50 million or so on aren’t even ready for the bench. #BHAFC

Well, that was an infuriating half of football. #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

#BHAFC came on a bit towards the end of the half, but that was largely forgettable. Rutter at the nine isn’t really working. Welbz almost certainly has to come on in the second half.

Another underwhelming performance. Such a Jekyll and Hyde team this season. #BHAFC

Really frustrating. Game should already be over with some better finishing. One mistake from Dunk and it’s back to square one. #BHAFC

I love Minteh, but his decision making on the pitch is so, so bad sometimes. #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Embarrassing. Every opportunity to rescue something and they’re completely bottling it. #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

We’ve responded pretty well to going behind early, but those first few minutes were absolutely terrible. Hopefully that doesn’t make the difference today. #BHAFC

Credit where it’s due: Forest are absolutely relentless. They’re an incredibly well drilled side. #BHAFC

Hell of a way to get over the Fulham curse! #BHAFC

Minteh not having his best match in a Brighton shirt… #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Game is crying out for some creativity in the middle of the park. I’d bring Gomez on for Ayari. #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

#BHAFC HT Thoughts: Cagey start, but things opened up towards the end of the half. Fulham have done a good job of defending compactly, and limiting chances, but van Hecke was clutch when the Cottagers got complacent. Big second half coming up.

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Really nice ball from Iwobi, but I feel like van Hecke and Hinshelwood could’ve done better with Raul. #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

And to think, I was disappointed that I had to coach my son’s team today and couldn’t watch. Don’t want to be dramatic, especially since I didn’t see the game, but I don’t know if Hürzeler survives this. At least my son’s team won 3-2. Probably saw better defensive solidity from U9 players #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Simply not good enough. Consistently unable to figure out how to break down a side that’s content to sit back and defend. If Hürzeler can’t figure this out, Europe remains a pipe dream. #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

#BHAFC HT Thoughts: Typical performance against a team near the bottom of the table. Plenty of possession, but no attacking thrust. The mistake that leads to a goal came earlier than usual, though. Everton are going to Everton, even more so with a lead. We need a big response in the second half

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Veltman knew exactly what he was doing there. The dark arts are a double-edged sword. #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Solid win. I want to see how we perform against Everton before I make any judgements about whether or not we’ve turned the corner, but I’m very happy with the performances in 2025. #BHAFC

That ball from Minteh was literally perfect. #BHAFC

060

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

#BHAFC Halftime Thoughts: A really bright start gets negated by some poor decision making in our own end. Minteh has been our best player in both halves of the pitch. Can’t see him lasting the full 90 though, especially on a yellow. Big second half coming up.

050

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

I don’t know what Bart was thinking with that pass, and I really don’t know why Baleba thought he could get away with a headlock in the box. #BHAFC

020

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 04/01/2025

Much better second half performance. The winless streak continues, but I like the heart the team has shown these past couple of matches and managing to salvage something from them. #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

I’ll take that. Disappointed that we switched off at the start of the second half, but we responded well to adversity and had some chances to go on and win it. We move. #BHAFC

0140

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

#BHAFC Halftime Thoughts: A very gritty, chaotic opening half. Fairly happy with the performance so far, given how much the lineup has been rotated, but we faded after the equalizer. Penalty felt a bit harsh, but it’s probably asking too much to be on the right side of two VAR decisions.

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

Yet another example of why Adingra works better on the left. #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

#BHAFC Halftime Thoughts: Domination in pretty much every meaningful metric, but nothing to show for it. Absolutely need to start capitalizing on some of these chances, because Brentford punishing us on the counter feels pretty inevitable right now.

160

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

#BHAFC FT Thoughts: Once again, our inability to break a team down is apparent. Credit where it’s due though, Hürzeler went for it. He’s gotten substitutions wrong a lot lately, but the changes he made, especially Minteh and Lamptey, caused West Ham a lot of problems.

1150

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

I’m so happy for Wieffer. He’s been so unfairly criticized for one error in one match. #BHAFC

1171

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

#BHAFC Halftime Thoughts: We’ve shown flashes, especially in transition, but nothing to show for it. Not sure why Rutter is the one leading the line, doesn’t really play to his strengths. I love João, but he has to stop going down so easily all the time.

030

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

If you’re looking for silver linings, I guess we aren’t going to have any controversy about center back selection for the next few weeks. #BHAFC

080

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Technically a twist or turn too many, but Minteh gets away with it! #BHAFC

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

#BHAFC Halftime Thoughts: A well-deserved lead, and it honestly should be more. Have to be careful though, Leicester showed flashes late on. Ferguson has been quiet, and doesn’t seem all that confident out there. Should’ve taken a crack instead of playing on Mitoma.

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Yeah, Enciso is officially in the dog house. #BHAFC

Leicester City v. Brighton Preview

The Albion have stumbled in their last couple of matches, picking up only a single point in games against Southampton and Fulham.

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

I don't understand why we're not making better use of our bench. We have multiple game-changers who could come on right now on the right hand side. #BHAFC

030

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Man, João's touch on that assist is just absurd. #BHAFC

0100

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Apparently there are people over on X blaming Wieffer for the goal? I love our club, and the community that's growing here, but man do we have some deluded supporters. #BHAFC

060

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

#BHAFC Halftime Thoughts: We've been the better side by far, and deserve to be ahead, but we've failed to capitalize on our chances and gifted them a goal. The good news is this match is there for the taking if we can be more clinical in the 2nd half.

Justin Sheppard @albionanalysed.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Maybe there really is a Craven Cottage curse... #BHAFC
