On his last warning
He does show signs of League one. The jury's still out for me.

You're seeing what you want to see. He lost possession once, when two hudds players were bearing down on him and tried to play it through them when unironically, he should have passed it backwards.
Criticising Stephens today is advertising your bias, he was immense.
That is the midfield 3 I would choose every week.
I loved the bit in the first half when Huddersfield were just kicking the ball around, in front of the East Stand and DS quite clearly thought:-
'F**k this - I've had enough of this shite'
Came charging out of position smashed into one fella and those around him suddenly thought 'oh yeah I can do that too'.
Great cross from Knocky

Hopeless in the first half, much better in the second. That's my summary.
Much improved in second half but only after Andone was subbed on , sorry to say Murray was off the pace and not for the first time , and when I say off the pace he was still in the dressing room at kick off he was that far behind.
Great 3 points , mediocre performance if you take the game as a whole , though the second half I would say we deserved the win and were unlucky it wasn't by more with a couple of big saves and the denial of 2 clear penalties. The introduction of Andone clearly had a huge impact on the team as a whole which had looked slow & predictable up to that point. A poor pass from Stephens nearly cost us a goal and nerves were clearly on show with neither side wanting to lose.
Big 3 points , much needed but we will need to play much better at Palace next weekend to get anything there and in the other prem games this season. At least Millwall are on a bad run too so the cup should give us something to keep us going over the International break.

I was unwell, in bed this afternoon. On waking, found the Albion had won, thank goodness. Have spent a happy 40 minutes reading every post on this thread for the second half. What a record from the fans'eye view: an emotional roller coaster, the pain, the complete frustration, the desperate gallows humour, a goal, the sheer relief, the absolute joy, the endless !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, then the nail biting hanging in there for ten minutes, the whole desperation and joy of being an Albion fan. Thanks for posting, every one of you. Just wonderful.
Indeed. Great delivery, perfect timing on Andone's run, and then he just floats.....! I love slow mo.
. Check the slow Mo.

Yep the pedestrian Murray inexplicably scoring and securing important wins and points v Man Utd, Wolves, West Ham, and Palace and crucial points v Southampton, Leicester and Fulham (H)
And a perplexed Glenn wondering why that the pedestrian defence couldn't hold on to his two goal lead v Fulham which if they had would probably mean we were effectively safe.

Sounds like our Warren but I love listening to him.
I see we have the usual squabbling on the match day thread......
I have just got home. Lovely drive through the countryside. Massive 3 points and my voice has gone..
I must say, though, that Huddersfield are shot to pieces. It took us 50 minutes to realise how much time we had.....meanwhile the terrier dweebs were time wasting from 15 minutes; goal keeper with both Alzheimers and lumbago. Numerous players suffering from acute attacks of motorneuron disease. Embarrassing. What happened to their famous Pluck? (I presume it went when their leader plucked off back to der Vaterland).

We were shit in the first half, improved slightly when the pensioner went off, and narrowly beat the crappest,PL team out there. Hardly party night, BUT, 3 points is very important and the confidence boost is massive after such a dire run. I don't remember a run that bad even in the 90's. Still a long way to go, but 10points from 10 games, we're on target for the magic 40.

Come on!
Town are down.. they have been creamed many times this season and as much as we wanted them to come and play samba football, that is not their game. So they time wasted...so what... they are not there to entertain brighton fans....they hit people on the break...that is how they play.
We were dreadful at times today...boring, predictable ad one dimensional....we played straight into their hands.
If it wasn't for a brilliant save from Ryan, they would have done what they came for. Remember they tried to go at us at their place and we rolled them over.
Still is that our only sixpointer from a team this season?

Good second half, but we basically condensed our chances of a win to about 55 minutes, such was the need to sit deep and defend and respect Huddersfield as if we were playing Man City away. I really didn't get that. I was confident, come the second period, when we actually started out of the blocks, that we'd get three points, but it was still heart stopping stuff.

Can we all agree that Murray (Our top scorer again ,i might remind you all ! ) has had his time. IMHO next season he will be on the bench, "To nick that goal "....

CH making the early change made the difference. Bloody love Murray, but he’s had his time. Long live the King.
Yes that same pedestrian Murray. I maintain my point, Murray’s scored some goals this season but if Andone had started every game when available, I fully believe we would have more points by now and already be safe. Andone is a superior player who makes the whole team better.
