Matt Sparrow

[Billy the Fish]

Everyone in my group called sparrow as MOM as well.

Great movement and runs, always looked like he could make things happen

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Totally agree, best game I've seen him have in an Albion shirt IMHO. He was the one that always looked like creating something for us today.

Agree entirely with this.

Sparrow was really really good today and am pleased that a thread has been started to show that his performance did not go unnoticed. Barnes also had his best game for a while

Thought I was the only one who noticed! Got shouted down earlier for saying so...
I'd still prefer Hoskins and CMS to start though.

In my opinion Buckley was mom but I do accept that sparrow is now having an influence on games that he never used to.
So what does Gus do when in the not to distant future lua lua who found some form before he got injured comes back nooney comes back & Buckley & sparrow are in form.

 

[Grassman]

Personally I reckon, when the creative load is spread amongst all the players, not just Lua Lua and Noone, we perform far better. Reckon Sparrow played a blinder today because he is required to do more with the ball than just give it to the aforementioned creative wide men. Sparrow and Navs were excellent today - though I called Liam as MOM - but if you're looking for one criticism they could move it quicker going forward, still it was more than enough to humble City.

 

[Lord Bamber]

I think it was Sparrow and Navarro's best game in a brighton shirt. Our midfield was different class today

Most definitely.

For me Bridcutt did deserve his MOM but Navs & Sparrow were immense. In fact man for man, across the pitch, it was the best overall Brighton performance this season.

The turn of the year has been a revelation, we've seen JFC shine through, and Brezovan and Sparrow have been like new signings! Spadge seems to be loving the attacking role instead of being deeper!!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Buckley MOM for me. Sparrow and Bridcutt not far behind. Delighted to see Spaz playing to his best, however, I suspect he is a front foot player. Not sure he's as useful when we're being pressed back by the oppo. Brizzle offered nothing and because of that he was able to dictate the game.

 

[jasetheace]

MOM from all in our part of North. Very lazy nomination as usual from the sponsors. Although Bridcutt was as usual excellent. Mention in passing to Dunky who barely put a foot wrong.

 

[BensGrandad]

Sparrow showed yesterday exactly why Gus wants him in the team was pushing players forward and winning crunching tackles in the midfield plus hada couple of decent shots this made the difference with our midfield being in total cointrol of the game. Having said that I dont think anybody hada bad game including Barnes who did what he was expected to do welll apart from his awful shooting.

There were many who could have been MOM and I wouldnt have disagreed with any of Buckley, Sparrow Bridcutt or El Abd who all did their job superbly.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I hate to criticise anybody,.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I've never doubted the ability of Matt Sparrow.

Glad to see he's back on form, and long may he reign.

It's not often that I agree with you BG, but you are spot on there.

 

[Questions]

I think Buckley was the best player on the pitch, followed by Sparrow and then Bridcutt. All those three were superb. I hate to criticise anybody, but they carried our team as an attacking force, because Barnes and Hoskins looked a bit lightweight.

I liked the look of Hoskins today. Better link play than CMS provides and with a great touch on the ball. Agree though that Buckley was ahead of them all.

 

[bhawoddy]

Thought Hoskins was as isolated at times at CMS generally is but it noticed more given the fact he isnt anywhere fit enough yet. A good session of doggies between defenders and he'll be raring to go before long.

Big shout out to Sparrow - another amazingly energetic performance and unlucky not to score too. Loved his running from midfield to get beyond Hoskins and into the box. More of that style please!!! Excellent well played AGAIN!!!

 

[Stat Brother]

The point you've just made on the Barnes thread, makes more sense over here, Woddy.

Words to the effect of :-

Bridcutt, Navarro, Sparrow, and Barnes, all in and around the centre midfield, against a woeful BC, would make it 'easier' to shine out.

Yh, your probably right although no quite sure what comment you mean.

My comments here were purley about how well Sparrow played and nothing to do with Barnes.

Definitely agree it's the best performance I've seen from him, in this and the Southampton game he's played like I always thought he was supposed to, getting forward and supporting attacks. Long may it continue.
