The official "officially, our best opponents at the Amex so far" thread

[Brighton TID]

Liverpool aside, officially for me it was Millwall.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

For me liverpool aside was forest and hull.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Liverpool aside, it was Crystal Palace. We looked good for the first ten minutes. Then Palace dominated for long spells in the first half. We know what happened after.

 

[Trigger]

Strangely a game we won, Nottingham Forest were absolutely immense and very unlucky against us, how they are where they are is beyond me.

 

[Notters]

Definitely palace

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I would go along with Forest.Hope they don't play like that in a few weeks!.

 

[Arkwright]

I thought Blackpool looked a good side. Most teams who come to the Amex look well organised, Cardiff played to a system very well as did West Ham.

I can't bring myself to saying the Palace but again after 20 minutes they played well to a system and stopped us from playing.

 

[Brownstuff]

No team has impressed me but I am biased
If push comes to shove Hull

 

[Mackenzie]

Wrexham.....soccer gods.

 

[Beach Hut]

It pains me to say this but Palace

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Palace were good, but only for the last 20.

Millwall and Forest were better on the day, for me. West Ham were effective.

 

[The Grockle]

I actually thought Peterborough looked a decent side and played some good football despite the result but I think the best for me was Hull.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

West Ham. Wasn't pretty but they did an absolutely nailed-on job. They played it tight, let us gift them a goal, then never even remotely let us look like scoring, forget the possession stat. Quite clearly executed the exact plan from the whiteboard and got 3 points.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Leeds ruined us in the first half, but let it go in the second.
Hull were a constant threat. I think the crossbar is still shaking slightly.
Although I wasn't there, from what I've seen and heard Donny were pretty good.
Wrexham probably outplayed us and got a result they deserved.
Liverpool were unsurprisingly great, but we controlled most of the second half.
Millwall were good! We were lucky to get some points.

And of course, Palace. Outplayed us for 70 minutes.

 

[The Large One]

Forest battered us for 92 minutes.

So we scored after 93.

 

[Acker79]

Liverpool aside... Tottenham? Newcastle?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i thought blackpool were great, especially kevin phillips

 

[Steve Foster]

Blackpool & Hull for me

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Forest for me. Palace only looked good because we collapsed in the last 20 minutes.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

West Ham didn't play nice football. But it was very effective and would have got a result every time.
