Brighton & Hove Albion Player of the Month - NOVEMBER 2008

[Mendoza]

Its that time of the month again

Its been a pretty weird month, with some crap and some brilliance. A slide down the table, an exit from the FA Cup and Carling Cup, but still with the hope of lgory in the Johnstones Paint Trophy

Brighton 4 - 1 Millwall - The Glenn Murray show after Virgo got injures, Murray comes on with 2 goals and 2 assists for Cox and Johnson
Brighton 1 - 4 Derby (Carling Cup) - A great start where we failed to score, a goal for Tommy Elphick
Brighton 3 - 3 Hartlepool (FA Cup) - Looking good at 2-0 then the Hawk comes up with some text book diving header. Goals for McLeod, Cox and Fleetwood
Brighton 2 - 0 Swindon (JPT) - A non eventful game, but progress to the next round. Goals for Forster and Livermore
Carlisle 3 - 1 Brighton - A shocking game, a triple deflected effort from Richards
Hartlepool 2 -1 Brighton (FA Cup) - Another bad performance, Forster rounding the keeper before the Hawk tour of the country was staged up north
Brighton 0 - 1 Huddersfield - Some say we played well, but we lost, just stick with it, you have to
Stockport 2 - 0 Brighton - Some say we played well, but we lost. We out played them and out passed them

The WINNER IS:

 

[Easy 10]

Given our form this month, I have SPOILED my ballot paper by doing a dirty protest.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

1. Glenn Murray.
2. Tommy Elphick.
3. I can't even think of another player who has even been half-decent...

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Glenn for his Millwall performance

 

[Djmiles]

Kuipers with some fantastic saves, been let down by some woeful defending.

 

[Elder for England]

Nothing else to say but...

Nothing else to say but...

This is for player of the month, not GOAL of the month

You ARE on a windup, aren't you?

Sweet Jesus.

Surprised Murray is running away with it - he was CLASS against Milwall, good at Carlisle, but other than that?

 

[Elder for England]

This is for player of the month, not GOAL of the month

 

[RM-Taylor]

Where's the option for Malcolm Stuart, after his quick performance of making sure Elphick was okay when he went down at Carlisle?

He's the only one who should win it.

I was thinking the same, but voted for him on the basis that no one else has stood out at any point in the month other than him. Even though it is based on 2 of the 8 games played

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

This is for player of the month, not GOAL of the month

Thornton for me

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Everyone keeps saying how good Hawkins is, so I voted for him

 

[saltash seagull]

i havent got a clue who to vote for here! do any of them deserve it?

THE ball boys get my vote
