Barnsley vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[neilbard]

I thought we played very well. We dominated Barnsley. Surprised by the commentator's comments that we weren't at our best!

Yes me too we haven't been at our best for the last couple of months!

Clean sheet would be good!
It's been a while.

a dirty sheet is better

 

[Bodian]

How do you guys rate that ref? Thought he was pretty much spot on.

I liked the way he always tried to play the advantage wherever possible - but was happy to bring it back when it didn't work out. Shows a thoughtfulness that some refs don't seem to have / apply.

Bed tonight will be positively ARID.

17 points clear of 7th. Looking good for the playoffs.

 

[jamie the seagull]

we pressed them in their half more than we have done for some time, maybe better than we have done all season.

This is how we will get promoted.
Far to negative away from home this year (2017).

Well done great away result.

Think that means their game with Wolves will be re-arranged again.

Correct, the Wolves game will clash with the replay, they've got to play Reading on Tuesday night too. Although I haven't checked according to BBC Final Score Huddersfield did make several changes but they've now got several tough games. Home to Reading, away to Barnsley, away to Man City in the replay and then home to Newcastle.

Sorry Sam for thinking negatively about you..... well done and keep up the good work

Is baldock suspended now for reading?

Reading isn't a bookable offence. Strange thing to be doing on the pitch, though.

 

[Triggaaar]

If you want to go further back then let's do it properly ... 68 out of 96 !!!

No, you mentioned a blip. You can't say a blip and include all 32 games, just as you can't say a blip and ignore the poor results that were the whole point of the blip. Fortunately today's result basically ends the blip.

We now have to support Reading on Tuesday.

I didn't know that was against the rules.

Thing with Knocky is, you have to let him do his thing, he isn't your normal player. Yes, he will cost us goals but he'll also give us goals. I know it's frustrating, played with a few players like that at a lower level, but they are gold dust.

You have earned a star.

 

[sparkie]

Top 6 now have a 7 point gap to 7th.

Blimey.

Is baldock suspended now for reading?

No, the cut off for 5 yellows was back in November.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Decent back to basics performance today. Solid defence, chasing down the 2nd balls well, route 1 tactics were just the job to get us out of the rut.

Someone said they're in the middle of a 5 week run of Tuesday & saturday matches.. Guess this could push that run to 6??

Good luck to them if they manage to keep getting results..

It wasn't the reading he was booked for it was for shouting in the library

Murray has been magnificent according to WA

Yes great. I do think he needed a bit of a rest and hopefully now can kick on against Reading and Newcastle.
