[Bozza]

The sponsors went for Greer.

Elsewhere Taricco showed his undoubted class and Harper made a few decent saves.

Going by radio commentary i'd say Tanno but someone who was there may come along with the whole truth.

BBC report

Brighton captain Gordon Greer inspired his team to victory to end a run of nine league games without a win.

Greer's goal in first-half stoppage time was the first they had scored in five hours and 43 minutes of football.

Ryan Harley doubled the advantage when he slotted home a rebound after Craig Mackail-Smith's shot had struck the crossbar.

The win lifts Brighton into the top half of the table and leaves Barnsley without an away win since August.

Barnsley had their chances, notably when David Perkins was denied by the bar.

But Brighton, who topped the table after the first month of the season, deservedly brought an end to their recent slump and climbed back into the top half.

Gus Poyet has staunchly stuck to his philosophy of passing football despite results going against them, and he certainly had the game's one genuine class act pulling the strings at left-back.

Unfortunately for Brighton, Mauricio Taricco is 38, the club's assistant manager and has already retired from playing once this season, only to be coaxed back due to a spate of injuries.

To Barnsley's credit they continued to attack, but Greer cleared Ricardo Vaz Te's effort off line, Harper saved from Butterfield and the tireless Taricco blocked Matty Done's shot as the hosts held out.

Tanno by some distance.

 

[willalbion]

Tanno comfortably

 

[dwayne]

Tanno.... Keep him in!

 

[Colossal Squid]

I'd definitely go Taricco although I understand why Greer got it. He had a good game and was obviously the man ultimately responsible for ending our five hour goal drought.

However Taricco was top class and I can't help but wish he were five or ten years younger. But then he's be back in the Premier League so ultimately I'm just glad he he's been persuaded to delay his retirement again.

Good game today. Happy to finally end this shit streak

 

[El Turi]

Taricco for me. He was outstanding. His passing was incisive and acurate and his reading of the game more than made up for his ageing legs.

 

[Biancazzurro]

Yeah Tanno or Greer, Tanno for being quality throughout or Greer for goal and goal line header!

 

[Jam The Man]

Tanno was immense

 

[Frutos]

I can totally understand why Greer got it, but I would have voted for Tano.

 

[Embrace]

Agreed. Tanno was first class today. Didnt put a foot wrong in my opinion!

CMS, his work rate was excellent, chasing down every ball

 

[Solid at the back]

CMS never stopped, Tanno was class, though Harper made some excellent saves.
Did he push that shot onto the bar in the 1st half?

 

[Rugrat]

Tanno ... by quite some distance

According to commentary it was a brilliant save by Harper.

 

[SurreySeagulls]

Tanno by several country miles

 

[Seagull Steve]

Mauricio 'Messi' Taricco by a country mile. But Greer was a decent shout, as is CMS. But Tanno looked class today.

I can totally understand why Greer got it, but I would have voted for Tano.

Same here

If you gave it on that basis, CMS would be man of the match every time
