Brighton and Hove Albion FC V Derby County FC *** Official Match Thread***

Good win boys .. well done Barnsey for scoring to help us on our way

 

[tweenster]

Had to pop out after 30 mins of match and we were comfortable at 2 up. Come back with 8 mins to, it's 2-1 and we seem to be holding on; why do we struggle to close out games comfortably. Oh well, job done and 3 very useful points in the bag! Well done lads!

Ash being interviewed is always good for a laugh

We're through to the next round, that's the main thing

Palace lose , they still need 3 points to guarantee survival

 

[madinthehead]

3 points.. Sounded like we made it pretty hard for ourselves towards the end... But 3 points is 3 points!

 

[somerset]

Was tense at the end...... For those there, why did we get pressured at the end?.... Where did we give ground?

 

[Worthingite]

What did he do after the one yard tap in?..... Honest question, I am in my sickbed trying to get a handle on it.

I gave the game a miss today too for similar reasons, and listened to it on player. It just sounded to me (correct me if I'm wrong anyone who went), that he was solid, didn't give away too much, and was reliable on the occasions he tracked back. And to get a goal (IIRC it's been a while!!) must be useful for his confidence, especially with imminent arrivals watching on today!

As long as he scores, I'm happy if his vocabulary doesn't extend beyond "Amazing"

 

[Sam Ovett]

Excellent win! I'm assuming BBC is wrong when it says we only had 41% possession?

 

[portslade seagull]

And we beat a team that are not in the bottom four

There was a lot of "yeah, of course, obviously..." today

yeah, of course...

 

[Cypriot-Seagull]

Didn't sound like the best Albion performance but 3 points..Home win..no injuries..and all that

Any interest in a pool on when the first rumour thread(s)suggesting Norwich is interested in acquiring Barnes go up?

He's obviously been hitting the books recently. Makes Mark Bright sound eloquent.

Was about to put one up for a laugh!!!

 

[The Truth]

These are the wins we need the most. Hanging on to results has been our biggest weakness this season. I'm sure today would of boosted the confidence of the team loads.

Audioboo / Albion striker Ashley Barnes delighted after 2-1 victory over Derby

There is some customary "amazing" in there too.

Personally, I think Ash is a Legend.
