Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Bromwich Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[GreersElbow]

That was not a sloppy win at all.

That was a well drilled, organised and all round brilliance from the boys today. Shame we didn't get the clean sheet, but we were convincing in every aspect.

 

[Dick Head]

Four points from four games? That's okay.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Well, then. Lovely to be in the lead.

I think we all suspect how we're going to approach the second half so lets get Izquierdo on sooner rather than later and utilise his pace on the break.

We all suspected we'd go three up before inevitably defending the 18 yard box, right? Right?

By far the better team for 70 minutes.
Worked so hard to close down the opposing players.
Scored when we needed to at the critical moments either side of halftime.
Invited some pressure for the last 20 minutes, but in truth we'd already won the game by then.
Overall, an excellent performance and thoroughly deserved.

Indeed, and improving, with players readying themselves to strengthen.

Fooking brilliant result and performance. Buzzing now

 

[Biscuit]

More important to win games like that than glory fixtures against Man Utd. Taken three points off a direct rival. Delighted.

Four points from four games? That's okay.

Isn't it 38pts the safety mark ? Basically a point a game like we are averaging now.

Normally these types:
Mark Dennis
Lee Cattermole
Kevin Muscat

Unusual for a striker to get so many cards.

I agree but there were a few that were pretty good at it!

John Hartson
Duncan Ferguson
Alan Smith

 

[Weststander]

A massive confidence boost to the players, that they can compete, this time against 11 men.

4 vital points in the bag.

The WBA goal may be godsend to stop complacency creeping in for the next match.

Agree with all this but those last 15-20 minutes were sooooooo nervy. Roll on Friday

Over....the....*ucking...moon! That Hemed goal....lovely moment and thoroughly deserved. Well done Tomer. Faith is everything.

 

[SeagullDubai]

Worried if will be able to get through the season if the last 20 minutes of each game are going to be this tense. 34 X 20 = 11 hours and 20 minutes of sheer terror.

Duncan was a legend off the pitch as well. He put a burglar in hospital.

Fantastic result. After stuttering in the first two games, we showed some grit and determination against Watford. We should have won that game, but we didn't stutter today. A convincing win against a tough team. Onwards and upwards. 13th place in the league. I will take that, come the end of the season.

I read that as 'sheet terror' for a moment

I thought we looked pretty comfortable for most of it to be honest it was always going to get tighter towards the end.

Won't be that much terror - we'll undoubtedly be already losing some before the last 20!
