Brighton's Disappointing Season

00:00:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Brighton Podcast. It's your boy Jamie G joined by Blessings Chabamba. Bless how we feeling after a heavy and hard weekend to watch a football.
00:00:24
blessings
Yeah, um if it's been a bit of time since the game, so I've had a chance to actually sort of start forgetting about it, but I'm glad we're doing this podcast to help me ah remember it all and rehash all of the scars.
00:00:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
it thinking you Yeah it's not gonna be, I know we've we've had a bit of time to compose ourselves but I feel like this podcast is just gonna work us up again and get us reminiscing on all the bad things that we did because spoiler a alert ahead of this podcast, it's not gonna be positive for Brighton and we're gonna start, I mean we might as well just start it straight up The season's done.

Shift Towards Realism

00:01:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, drop the mic. Season's done. European hopes dashed. There's no chance for anything. What do we have to look forward to? Not getting relegated. Result. We're already halfway there.
00:01:15
blessings
I think seasons done is a bit too early um but we need to get out of this rut because there's going to be better teams coming in and if we're playing like this and we've got a sort of traditional big six team um coming up against us then it feels like there's no point of watching at the moment.
00:01:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it's actually a very hard watch. I mean, I think it's time. I know I said it last week, but now I'm being deadly serious. It's time to be a realist. I'm going to stop going on those crossover pods and saying how bright and they're going to smash the other team and how we're going to win every week. No, no, deadly serious. I'm going to go on to the next week's po crossover pod and say, yeah, guys, all you have to do is park the bus against us and you've got an easy win.
00:02:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
part the bus and then just do us on the counter you've got the easiest win for you we're basically a btech man city
00:02:09
blessings
of pizza man see now to be honest we've had a really good ride like we've I remember sitting on the um the Manchester United crossover and I'm like to um the Manchester United just being guy I said to him yeah it's 100% Brighton with like it's a definite right away.
00:02:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:02:28
blessings
And it came true. I remember doing this a few times and we've just, we have had a lot of highs and I just hope and pray that we've not sucked all the goodness out of the season before Christmas.
00:02:40
blessings
I hope there's still something to shout about in in sort of March time at least, like with something to play for. i want
00:02:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
you know the mad thing is we've actually been cussing out man united a lot of times over these podcasts yeah there are only two points behind us now it's looking bleak for us yeah and when you realise how bad they've been and how good supposedly we've been
00:02:58
blessings
That's tough isn't it? That is tough.
00:03:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's a tough,

From Strong Start to Slump

00:03:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
tough thing to see. I was only be two points ahead of them. West Ham or another team, ah they're playing as we actually speak against Bournemouth now. So they've got technically a game in hand. They've been woeful. Five points behind us. Could be two by the end of today. That's where it's like a real reality check. And you spoke about the good times we had at the beginning of the season.
00:03:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
I feel, I actually urge our listeners to go back and listen to our preview of the season podcast. We predicted this. We said Hertzler's going to start off on like a storm. He's going to have a couple games like in the beginning of the season, get on a roll, have a bit of a blinder. Teams aren't going to be familiar with his tactics, probably won't be able to adjust to them. And we kind of predicted that we were going to have a good start to the season. And then we said,
00:04:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
we're probably going to have a rut at some point in the season. I feel that, I mean, this is that point in the season, surely. The problem is that rut is against teams you need, need to be picking up three points against.
00:04:17
blessings
Yeah, it's such a weird feeling because where we've come from is has been just um absolutely unreal. And it this feeling sort of reminds me of that it's this good to me the weirdest analogy, but it sort of reminds me of when i was ah when I was a schoolboy and I used to stay up late to play FIFA one time This is crazy. One time my mum woke me up on a Saturday and I woke up and I was just so confused. This is how I feel because I'm like, what's actually going on this Saturday? Do you know what I mean? It's all confusing at the moment. I think it does feel a little bit that we have been sussed out by other teams. I don't know

Fan Reactions and Herzler's Future

00:04:59
blessings
what's going on. It hurts his head. It feels like sometimes he has doubt with himself in sort of the
00:05:06
blessings
Decisions he's made and who's who's playing and and the subs I feel like he's been getting the subs quite ah wrong recently as well So it's like a mixture of so many different things that are just going against us at the moment
00:05:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and he's such a difficult man to read as well. Like when you see him on the touch line, there's like no expression there. Uh, and then when you see him in the post-match interviews, it's a very like blunt, monotone response that you can't really read into anything. He's like very, I guess, kind of honest at times where he just goes, yeah, we're not good enough or things like that. But in terms of seeing if there's actually panic in him or whether he's panicking at all.
00:05:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah It's really hard to read him, I feel. There's also, I don't know whether you've seen online, on Twitter, as, but, I mean, it is the most toxic platform ever. ah People are already calling for him to be sacked too early.
00:06:04
blessings
Yeah, I think that is absolutely insane. I mean, you can't call for a manager to be sacked if you don't even have anyone good lined up. Like, realistically, we need to ask these people who are saying this on online, who would you who would you get in?
00:06:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:19
blessings
Who is out there to get in? And why are we, in fact, why are we even sacking him in the first place after all he's done? Like, come on.
00:06:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe they'll say bring back Graham Potter. ah yeah
00:06:32
blessings
don't know how well that will go down to be honest yeah he took half the staff with him that is just an awkward it's like when you break up with your ex you shouldn't get back together it's one of them
00:06:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, i would go down perhaps that would go down like lead in water.
00:06:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Exactly. And to be fair, who would you replace him with? Wolves have just replaced Gary O'Neill with some bloke we're talking off of, some bloke neither of us have ever ever heard of. Managed Fenabachi, Olympiarchos, Flamingo, Flaminense, Corithians.
00:07:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
for the last like six or seven years, oh yeah, and Al Shahab, something like that, mid table Saudi team. So where they've plucked him out from, God knows, but that's the kind of calibre you would have to replace Herzler with if, if, which will never happen, or not yet anyway, ah if we if he was to get sacked.
00:07:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
So
00:07:24
blessings
Yeah, is I do find it interesting though. Do you think that if our form continues like this and then throughout to like March time, we're like not in trouble, but we're like 14th and the season's sort of flat and dead. Do you think there'll be actual real voices or calls for him for his head?
00:07:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think if this form, and when I say this form, I'm talking about the last four games in terms of the two draws, two losses, um carries on and the performances like stay very consistent in terms of us being pretty poor in front of goal, but still leaking goals at the back and it reaches like new year. That's when I think there's serious conversations to be had. But for people to make those calls, what is it?
00:08:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah after four games of bad, get four bad games, I guess you can throw the Bournemouth one in there as well because we weren't great, but we were clinical. um That's when the calls will come and that's when rightly so, he question marks will be raised as to whether Hertzler, such a young manager as well, how he deals with it and how he kind of adapts to that and whether we bring anyone, bring someone else in to have new ideas or something like that. So yeah, ah I just wonder like,
00:08:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Where's it all gone wrong, really? like it'' Because he's tried changing it a couple times, hasn't he? like His tactics, we've spoken that before. But ultimately, I think he's lost. I think I'm also lost watching, or we're lost, watching every game. Just thinking, I don't really know what the solution is here.
00:09:02
blessings
Yeah, it's interesting. I think some some people will read into the fact that when we were playing well, we we did have players who were just in the exceptional form. At the moment, I don't think there's a single Brighton player who's in good form.
00:09:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:09:14
blessings
um Like at the start, it was Jau Pedro, he was in quality form. And then we sort of lost him for a couple of weeks and Danny Welbeck picked up that the baton and was in good form. And then now we've lost Danny Welbeck, Jau Pedro is just coming back, finding fitness still.
00:09:30
blessings
there's no one else in really good form. I think this is why um last week we alluded to Matoma and asking more of him.
00:09:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:09:37
blessings
like he could be He should be that next guy who's going to pick up a bit more form and actually you know get on a score sheet, get assists and sort of get so over the line until um everyone's fit again.
00:09:50
blessings
But it just doesn't seem to be the case, to be honest. a son It might be a tactical thing or a personnel thing, but like you said, I'm lost too. I'm lost.
00:10:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah We will be in this second segment talking about a potential reason why we're losing so many games and the big man being missed or us missing the big man.

Impact of Welbeck's Absence

00:10:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
and we are back with the Daily Brighton podcast. So it's been... I know he's not played before we all jump in the comment section saying, how are these men speaking about Danny Welbeck again? But bless, he's not played and he we can't get his name out of our minds and we can't stop talking about him because what a miss he's been. He didn't play against Fulham, we lost 3-1. He didn't play against Leicester, 2-0 bottled that. ah He didn't play against Crystal Palace,
00:11:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
3-1. I mean how big of a loss is Danny Wilberg?
00:11:19
blessings
Yeah, I think before we went on there, I did say we should name this podcast, ah we should talk about where Danny Wellbeck is.
00:11:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
good if
00:11:28
blessings
And I said that as a joke, but then when you read out those stats, I started to think maybe, maybe it is Danny Wellbeck, that's sort of the overarching, Danny Wellbeck missing, that might be the overarching issue of why these results are not going well, because Up front, we've just not been able to hold the ball up. um i just It just looks like everyone up front is a bit too weak, getting shrugged off the ball. um In a few of our episodes, we talked a lot about ah long passes going to Danny Welbeck and how he scores from them. like Without that happening, without Danny Welbeck up there,
00:12:06
blessings
it's yeah It's hard for our creative players to sort of get anything to feed off those layoffs off the chest and things like that. So we really do need them. I think we've really missed his movement as well, um especially against Palace. We needed someone to sort of move these three centre backs around.
00:12:25
blessings
and create space for Jal Pedro, but yeah when he's the focal point, I think we don't look as good up front.
00:12:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:12:32
blessings
I think it's harder for us to keep the ball up front.
00:12:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that's such a good point.
00:12:35
blessings
um
00:12:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, you mentioned that in yesterday's podcast as well in terms of when Joe Pedro plays as the lone striker or the main, the focal point up top. I've always felt it as well.
00:12:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
And even when he was at Watford and watching him in the Premier League before he came to Brighton, I always felt he's not a striker. I think he's a magic man that can just float in those areas behind a striker, link up with a striker exactly what Zhao Pedro and Danny Welbeck were doing at the beginning of the season. and That's where those two are at their best and when he's playing as a soul striker it's so difficult to get his best qualities out I feel um and that's where i've I was watching yesterday's game and I just thought the
00:13:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
The main man we missed is Danny Wilbeck, because I've got some stats here for us. In the first half, Pedro, Mitoma and Minta and Ruta had the fewest touches of the ball of any player in the whole 22 that were on the pitch. And that just screams to me.
00:13:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
We miss Danny Welbeck so much because he's the one, like we said so many times on this podcast, when we've been raving about him in the past, he's the one that drops deep, links up play, lays it off to people running off it, or plays it in behind to an on-running mithoma on the left-hand side, or a minter when he was playing on the right. He links up with Rooter and Pedro in those little 10 positions, in in those spaces. And like you said just then as well,
00:14:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
It gives him dropping deep gives ah Zhao Pedro an opportunity to then become the last man, which is where he's kind of good at. He's good at running as the last man or ah late man runs or whatever they call it.
00:14:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's where the link up play I think is seriously missed and watching that performance yesterday, in that first half, we were struggling so much just to get a couple of passes together. Like every pass was so either intercepted or there was kind of no options, there was no movement from anyone. It looked so stagnant and that's where Danny Welbeck was a massive miss.
00:14:59
blessings
Yeah. Another thing I would add as well is just simply his organization, like he, his experience up there, he, he, you know, he sets the tone for the press.
00:15:10
blessings
He works extremely hard. And I think everyone else sees that. And then, you know, they, they will want to match that because at the end of the day, this is a, what, 34, 33 year old, Danny Welbeck.
00:15:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
a Yeah.
00:15:21
blessings
And he's working that hard. Jean Pedro looks at himself and thinks, Oh, I need to match whatever he's doing. um And yeah, I think that's probably not the only issue we've got, but it is a big factor in terms of our output up front and just the whole pattern of play. um But how Herzler lines up, it's a big factor because that option, the ball needs to stick up front and if it's not sticking, it's constantly coming back, then Armidfield gets found out and it looks a bit naff like it has been recently.
00:15:57
blessings
our defense as well have less options and you know they look they like they're getting found out as well.
00:16:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:16:03
blessings
So essentially, bring back webs.
00:16:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you know what I also think? And it goes onto the end of your point as well. the leadership that he brings like he like you say his just him himself he leads by example the constant running and pressing that he does and the constant organizing making sure that people are in the right positions but like just as a leader on the pitch when things are not aren't going our way, you like that Fulham game where we've conceded a really sloppy goal.
00:16:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I guess also like the Leicester game where we've conceded that sloppy goal late on, I feel like Danny Welbeck would have been really able to steady the ship in in that Leicester game.
00:16:47
blessings
Yeah.
00:16:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I guess in in yesterday's game, I think he would have been the one that would have reminded the players that this is a derby, this is our biggest game of the season, get up for it and like straight from the off we wouldn't have seen such a flat performance because he would have been the one leading by example and taking the game to Palace whereas without him it looked like
00:17:02
blessings
yeah
00:17:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
I can't emphasize this enough and I know everyone at home has already watched that game but and they all probably feel the same and I've said it on yesterday's podcast. It was so flat. They looked like they didn't want to be there for the first half.
00:17:29
blessings
Yeah, um'm I'm glad you bring up that point because I want to take you back to um when we played against ah Spurs. And I think we was it 2-0 down?
00:17:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Two and a half time, yeah.
00:17:37
blessings
I'm pretty sure. 2-0 down, he was the one sort of raring to go and causing issues in that Spurs box straight away. And like, you know, winning, winning headers, just being strong.
00:17:49
blessings
And Spurs, I've got aggressive centre backs and for Danny Welbeck to sort of be showing that. um aggression as well it's setting the tone it really does set the tone and you know second half they came out a different team not saying it was all Danny Welbeck but it's the little things that you look for um that sort of just bring momentum and rhythm into a game for you and then anything can happen from there if you can pick up some momentum but
00:18:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, we scored in the first three minutes of that half as well. So yeah, 100% to your point that he, he would have been a big difference maker in that dressing room at halftime, telling the lads to probably get their act together. Um, yeah, in this next segment, we're going to be talking about another, another place where I feel like we also missed Danny Welbeck. We spoke about how we use him to build up so much. And yesterday that just wasn't there.
00:19:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
and we are back with a daily Brighton podcast. So we alluded to it before we went to that ad break.

Tactical Decisions and Player Performances

00:19:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
And yesterday, it looked like, I don't know whether it was intentional because we didn't have Danny Welbeck, but but There was a clear emphasis, I felt, from the off to play long and play direct. I don't know how you feel about this, bless, but there were so many chances in yesterday's game. So if you think about as early as the 12th minute where Minter is just played in in behind the defense and Dean Henderson runs out and almost takes him out.
00:19:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
that like almost clatters him to win as a foul. That was the first indication where I thought, oh, we actually might be going long today. Then I think it was only like five minutes later where ah Zhao Pedro went through ah like an in-behind ball. Van Hecke was constantly looking for those in-behind balls where unfortunately they were either intercepted or ah Van Hecke by his standards, pretty poor, but kicked out of play. um Then there was Vebruggen, which we I was so unused to. 34th minute, I jotted it down the minute because I was shocked by it. Hoofed it up there. Just absolute hoof out the pitch to try and just get it to Pedro. Didn't get to Pedro. And then there was another chance where, in that first half, Boliba plays it long to Mitoma.
00:20:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Those are five different occasions where we just played complete long ball and it looked like that was a clear emphasis that maybe Herzler found a weakness or what he thought was a weight weakness in the Crystal Palace team. Didn't prove to be in the end because we weren't able to capitalise but I just wonder what you think about that. Do you think it was intentional?
00:21:01
blessings
Yeah, I think definitely, definitely was intentional because from what we've sort of seen um from the manager is he wants to control games, he wants to play out from the back, control the tempo of games.
00:21:13
blessings
So to be um sending the ball up long is definitely a tactic because you wouldn't want to give away possession that cheaply.
00:21:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's not a cheap thing to do this to.
00:21:21
blessings
It would literally tell him to stop doing that. um What I do think the idea perhaps might have been behind it is that because Palace obviously play with a back three. um He's trying to catch out the wing-backs.
00:21:33
blessings
That could be the only reason I think if if they've gone long early and you've somehow got a situation where Matoma is one-on-one with a right centre-back, like Chalabar, you back, Fonseca to get past him really, wouldn't you?
00:21:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:47
blessings
um But the issue with that is, Jarpedro isn't that guy. He's not going to be chessing the ball down, plucking it out of the air or flicking it on and winning the headers against players like It's just not really going to happen. So I don't know whether it's maybe like a just a, let's just do it and see what happens kind of tactic. Or maybe they were expecting Weilbeck to be fit for this one. And this is what they've been working on in training.
00:22:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
All right.
00:22:17
blessings
um But certainly the idea was to try and hurt them in wide areas um because even mente started as well um Using that pace that one view on the ability, but yeah, it just didn't work out.
00:22:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:22:28
blessings
I think it was um it It would have been nicer for them to maybe stick to their roots a little bit more and just make paths work a Bit harder to get the ball back by keeping it short um But yeah a tough watch
00:22:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, to that point as well. the We mentioned it on yesterday's podcast that it looked like every time the Brighton forwards were pinned up against one of the centre backs, it was mainly La Croix because he was class yesterday to be fair to him.
00:22:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
um they just got tackled every time. I think it was such a tall tall order for Pedro to be that man and behind, to be that lone striker, especially if they're just going to go long to him, they're not going to really work off him at all.
00:23:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's not the the way forward or that wasn't the but that wasn't a way forward.
00:23:20
blessings
Yeah.
00:23:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
um but yeah it's just an interesting one and you could talk kind of see in the second half they switched up massively went to that three in the back and much more possession based in that second half especially at the beginning of the second half i think said yesterday 87 possession in the first 15 minutes of that half there looked a much more clear idea where her so went back and changer and probably realized I've got this wrong here. Let's change to a back three and let's play complete possession style football. And that's when we actually looked bright. That's when we looked like the old Brighton, pinging it to each other, one touch, two touch football in and around those middle areas and getting the ball out wide. And that's where we were more dangerous, I would say.
00:24:07
blessings
The thing is though, it's all well and good to sort of talk about the tactics, but the players simply aren't applying themselves. and like How much would you put the emphasis on the tactics?
00:24:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:24:19
blessings
Do you think it is acceptable to get it wrong in such a big game like this? Because I guess that's where a lot of people who are calling for his head might be coming from.
00:24:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Yeah, see, I think in a game like this, to experiment, to go against everything that you've done in and so far this season, although a couple of games, sure we've played this kind of style of football, that's where you can't be doing it. Not against our biggest rivals, not against team where you need to win, you need to start picking up form. ah That's where you should surely like stick to your roots, and then hopefully yeah get a result out of it. And don't be so exposed. Because yeah, like you say, every time we hoofed it up there, lost it. And then they'll back on to us. I mean, it was it was a tough watch. What do you think?
00:25:11
blessings
Yeah, it's it's a tough one because I'd love to be in the sort of change rooms and sit here and what the text, yeah, fly on the wall kind of thing.
00:25:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
So on roll.
00:25:23
blessings
Hearing what what he's asking of them because, yeah, there just it seems that there is a lack of clarity in what the actual purpose is at the moment. um And that there has to be a reason behind that. I think i ah can't imagine it's just for the sake of chopping a change and changing. He just wants to mix it up. um There must be so a reason behind that. Maybe, obviously, he's trying to fix the the issues we've spoken about. um Danny Webick's absent. But, yeah, it gets to a point where you're like... This is where I think I lean more and ask him more of the players. I think we've talked a lot about Jean Pedro as well.
00:26:02
blessings
But Ruto as well, he didn't look a player at all.
00:26:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he is poor.
00:26:07
blessings
Mente, again, disappointing. So it's like, I think it's a real good mixed blend of getting it wrong tactically and also the players just not being up for a big game on a big occasion.
