*** Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Oldham Athletic - Official Match Thread ***

[zego]

Pin-up of the year!

- so far ...

 

[Beach Hut]

Great sense of expectation for this game as our elusive home form for the last few seasons seems to have returned in style.

However Oldham look good so this will be no walk in the park, expect a hard game and hopefully a narrow victory for us.

I thank you for that

Funny old game, really didn't enjoy it. Were just discussing how rubbish the new bloke looked and he scores the winner, I take it all back.

Just got back with the little Fs - what a finish! Everyone went mentalist - even the family stand was a rockin and a rollin at the end.

 

[Jameson]

.....and what's so brilliant is we beat a team of cheats and bullys who just wanted to play ugly. They got exactly what they deserved; fook 'al. Justice

 

[Collar Feeler]

looked like a general free for all melee when the corner went in, I had just turned and said to my brother in law in true Kevin Keegan style, "I would just love it, love it if that ugly big nosed spaniard scored the winner here" seconds later cue the mental celebration, a little bit too mental since my 7 year old slipped down the back of his seat and trapped his legs, not injured just stuck still going mental bless him! What a lovely time to score. :albion1:

When the ball came across, I noticed Elphick was blatantly fouled, and almost gave up hope as there was no way the ref would have been as controversial as to give us a penalty. But we were queueing up to score, someone diverted it goalwards and then Sandaza just hoiked it up into the roof of the net. Beautiful.

Ditto. You're not wrong! He didn't look good atall! Let's hope he improves and keeps up the goal poaching!

I didn't rate Bridcutt again today though granted I wasn't at Plymouth where he seemingly played well...

Interesting to hear Poyet say in the post match interview, that Sandaza, isn't the fastest player, or the most talented player, but if the ball drops in the box....he'll be there to finish it off.

Does exactly what it says on the tin....lol

Yeh I laughed at that! Maybe we need that - someone to smash it in in the box - he did just that today where others faultered

I hope this is true. In my opinion today he was a man so desperate to do well today which affected him. Would have been caught offside a few times if the ball had been laid to him and the few times it did get to him, his trapping was a bit Mark Hatelyesque however.....he did what it says on the tin.....although ive yet to see the goal.

so much for the 2 0 2 0 2 sequence....

But the home league sequence:
2-2
2-1
2-0
2-1

Barnes has scored more than Muzza so far this season unless I am much mistaken.
workrate = success.

Barnes has made one appearance more than Murray, too. (Though, murray has played 9mins more)

Yet bizarrely most people who have watched all games have said Murray has worked his arse off this season.

He has

Perhaps they're swapping roles, Barnes becoming the lazy, classy striker who scores and Murray becoming the "try hard" who doesn't get many for himself.

Or not. See how the season pans out.

Not today. Barnes worked his socks off. Murray was trying, but it just wasn't happening for him today, at least attacking-wise. Defensively he was still able to offer something.

 

[Kubes]

I loved Calderon's private celebrations after the final whistle - bent double, fists pumping and screaming!! He wants it so much. And a real team spirit seems to be building with the rest of the guys. Great day, great result.

did anyone else see lomana came to watch his brother?

But the home league sequence:
2-2

2-1

It is NOT going to be 2-2 on Tuesday! 3-0 Brighton

Where did you see him ?

 

[cw00]

car park after the game he got in a souped up 4x4 with lom in the number plate so pretty sure it was him
