[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers *** Official Match Thread ***

This post has aged well

We aren’t in the final and didn’t beat Forest

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

Just been looking at Wolves forum, and at 5-0 down, someone posts “See their first team is warming up. Please make it stop”

He once

I can’t agree I’m afraid. Paul Merson is not fit to be a pundit. He’s barely coherent, incapable of pronouncing names properly and is unable to produce an argument for any position he takes.

I don’t know how the other pundits restrain themselves from doing him a mischief. He clearly thinks shouting like a deranged baboon is endearing. It isn’t. Please f*** off.

He once said why don’t Brighton play Knockhaert a year after he left 🥹

 

[Shooting Star]

RDZ talks about his players having big balls but he's got the biggest of the bunch. Arguably he should have played today's squad on Wednesday and Wednesday's today. However, two wrongs don't make a right and his squad selection today was braver than brave, considering many would have believed (including me) that anything but a win today would see our hopes of Europe dashed.

I absolutely love this man. What a bloody incredible time to be a Brighton fan. Simon Jordan talks all the time about substance and triumphing through adversity. We have it in frigging buckets. COME ON YOU SUPER SEAGULLS. We deserve Europe, we so deserve it.

 

[GoingUp]

RDZ proved to be a genius with the team selection in the end, it was surprising to say the least. I was maybe expecting that kind of line up for Forrest but the hungry players took their chances, Enciso really stepped up and decided he was going to be the main man to drive us forward and showed he is very capable of more responsibility.

The benched players ('the stars') also saw they are not undroppable but also given them a rest.

I'm glad RDZ bought Ali Mac, Mitoma and Caicedo on though so they felt like they played their part in a great win.

Well done to the manager and players. Great team performance all round.

Just awoken to this news. Super stuff. BBC are calling it our "biggest ever victory". Is that the case?

Just got in, that went quite well didn't it.

Pascal was immense, and one very very happy kid in the north has his shirt. A very high quality moment.

Saw that, he looked so happy

I think so in the Prem , and in the 'old' Div 1 too. But not ever, no.....

Of course it's 'ever'. Nothing exists outside the PL....

 

[dazzer6666]

Billy Gilmour deserves all the praise he will get and more, he was majestic. Can’t have been easy sitting on the bench week in, week out but to come in and play like that must give him and RDZ so much confidence

The ‘Caicedo/Mac replacement’ discussions may look a bit different after today. He was superb.

 

[Bodian]

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.

Blimey - he replaced both of them??

 

[Eric the meek]

The ‘Caicedo/Mac replacement’ discussions may look a bit different after today. He was superb.

Warren gave him MOTM.

Warren gave him MOTM.

Groß for me, but it was close. Welbeck was also immense.

We beat Chester 7-1 Zamora hatrick in 2000

No.
10.1 v Wisbech in the cup followed by 9.0 v Southend in the league a week later.
I was there for both!

 

[dazzer6666]

Warren gave him MOTM.

We decided it was any one from about 6/7 players……….but really impressed with Billy, and very pleased for him too - not his fault he’s stuck behind Mac, Moises and Pascal, all of whom rarely get injured or subbed. Some of the passes he was pinging around were fantastic

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Great atmosphere today, I think I feature heavily in Ronald's video

 

[lawros left foot]

Controversial, but, I don’t think we were better today than we have been against quite a few other sides.
The difference today, was the early goal, and we took our chances.
I thought the team was superb today, as we often have been.
