Precisely. That Match Analysis demonstrates how obsessed with the PL things are. Younger fans could be forgiven for thinking Wolves stand a chance. We are most definitely their bogey side since about 1975 onwards. Our record against them is ridiculous. Something like last 40 fixtures home and away, we’ve won 25, drawn 9 and they’ve hit the post once! West Ham have positively dominated us by comparison
It’s got to be a home win, even if I’ve lost a bit confidence in us.
Just saying, like…don’t know why Wolves bother playing us. Award us 3pts and save petrol.

Commentary from Steve Sidwell and Jules Breach, before the end of the game:

Superb performance by the whole team.
RDZ takes the lion-share of praise from me for having the managerial insight to dig deep from a squad fraught with fatigue and injury (hopefully Veltman’s hamstring is resolved) and coming up with an aggressive line up - playing Danny a bit deeper and Enciso’s pairing with Gross was sublime, Estupinan a roaring engine throughout (what a signing he has been) and for the first time this season I thought, Gilmour looking really comfortable in his own skin putting together some really skilful passes and providing a very solid presence in MF - surely a performance from him that shows he is moving on to a next level of maturity despite the bumpy road in his career to date. Even Undav, ‘coming into his own‘ and scoring 2 goals - a deserved score line, full of promise for the future and hopefully the tonic everyone needed after a tough week.

Brighton midfielder Billy Gilmour speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "I took my opportunity. It's hard to fill Alexis and Moises' job but I just had to take my opportunity.
"When they've played I've studied them and what they do in my position. When I've been in training I've done it . To get the opportunity to try that today, it was good."
On bouncing back: "We were absolutely gutted about Wembley and then on to Nottingham, maybe it was still on us a bit. We knew we had to put on a performance and I think every single one of us was brilliant."
On Julio Enciso: "He's crazy. I call him crazy. He's a very, very good player, very talented, and he'll only get better. The way he trains and plays, he is showing the fans what he is capable of. He's taken the opportunity."
Going forward: "I need to keep focusing on myself, help the team when called upon. We want to finish as high as possible."

Paul Merson pre-match believing he understood RDZ's team selection...
Laugh as we might, we're all sharing the clip.

Paul Merson pre-match believing he understood RDZ's team selection...
It's a really odd thing to say. I really want to like Merson but given the following choice:
1. After a lot of games in short amount of time our players are physically tired
2. After a tough week emotionally the players might be worn out and mentally exhausted
3. We are now infamous for having a conveyor belt of talent so playing a few "unknowns" actually might show the world a few more gems
4. We want to throw the game and lose as we're scared to play in Europe. Why aim high, wed much prefer a relegation fight
Yet the only reason he can think of is number 4. Really?

Anybody got a clip of Enciso's hilarious multi-stepover in the first half?

I saw that team and I was like “yep!” - that’s what I expected Wednesday to be fair. The one who surprised me most was Gilmour, who had a very good game today - but then, they all did to a man.

It does help settle my anxiety, a little bit, about us getting raided over the off season. Even without Ali Mac, Caicedo and even Mitoma, we can still put out a team that capable.
