Just In: Will Brighton’s disastrous match against Nottingham Forest be resolved if Albion supporters receive a complete refund?
That went smoothly, didn’t it? I was thinking back on the victory at Forest in 1979 and wondering
if lightning strikes again in the same spot. And what took place?
The Albion suffers their worst league loss in 68 years, losing 7-0. The biggest was a 9-0 loss to
Middlesbrough on the first day of the 1958–59 season; the only shaky connection to 1979 is that Brain
Clough scored five goals for Boro on that day.
Fans are still processing what really happened after the X certificate event at the City Ground a few days ago.
Albion manager Fabian Hurzeler wanted to attack high-flying Forest, and this was reflected in his starting lineup,
which on paper did look quite casual but left the Albion dangerously vulnerable at the back, and some others.
This tactical error appears to be a “popular” theory.
