True, I think WENDY scored for us that day. It was brass monkeys even by Oldham standards though.

Millwall in the play off semi, you'd have thought Codner had taken something. Hang on a tick ..........

He did. Bit like Peterboro v Ipswich in that the "1" was the best goal of the lot.
Was it on the plastic pitch that day?

Got beat 0-4 at home by Sheffield Weds who played us off the park that night too
I agree the team that finished that season was the best side I've ever seen behind the current one. I got shot down in flames when I posted they were the best team Brighton have had in 20 years at the beginning of this year. Cullip, Blackwell & Ingimarsson were quality at the back. You had Rodger, Sidwell, Carpenter & Brooker in midfield with the quality of Zamora up front. We finished in playoff form but were still relegated due to 10 defeats in a row under Hinshelwood.

I hate Palarse
That was 2002/2003

I meant 2003/4 and Big Dave Beasant in goal too, shame we didn't kick off with that team
As I posted in a thread yesterday, this team really reminds me of the one that got promoted in 77 and nearly did in 78 - there's that bit of flair and the sense of a really good team pulling together. I never had that in 90/91, we seemed to fluke our way through that season.
Yes getting my years mixed up. My point still stands that was a cracking team, shame we went down and lost the majority of those players.
Bring back Bryan wade!!
I wanna caravan for me ma
Blackwell and Ingimarsson were different class, both would get in our current squad. From a midfield perspective Sidwell and Carpenter would get in and obviously Bobby upfront so on reflection the 2002-03 squad was indeed strong. Having said that the current squad player for player is stronger and in Bridcutt, Noone, Dunk and CMS you have 4 potential Premiership players as opposed to just Bobby Z.

Possibly Buckley as well.

Sadly never saw Ward and Mellor to compare but I always rated Byrne and Small as a strike partnership.
Ah, this is bringing back memories. Though we were often inferior that was some season. That final game against Ipswich, and the two playoffs against Millwall. Not sure there was ever a better sequence of games than those three. Shame about Notts County really.
It was quite easy to work out which Codnor was playing:-
'Is there a TV gantry in the East?, Yes, we'll smash it'.
The second half demolition of Millwall is one of my outstanding Albion memories.
Along with both Liverpool games.
I also remember an evening match at Pompey when Bob refused to move out of the centre circle!

This
And this
Mark Barham was probably one of the worst players ive ever seen for Brighton. Codner was ok when he could be bothered...about one in every ten games and Wilkins had a decent left foot....he couldn't pass, head or tackle. Walker was ok be he was passed his best.
I liked Paul McCarthy and Crumps...they gave their all but i thought Chapman was a liability as could Digweed be at times.
But up front was different gravy...both strikers were superb and it wasn't a surprise when they were sold.
It was a strange season...BHA were winning games at home where they were being totally outplayed and me and me mate often walked away at the end of a game shaking our heads in amaizement.
