How many should we have won by?

[Barham's tash]

Before the game and on form/luck I would've taken 0-0 but on the evidence presented, m'lud, I would say 4-0 at least.

 

[fozzie's paper boy]

2 flattered leeds. 5 would not have flattered us. What a way to see in 100 games at the Amex.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Oddly, I didn't think Leeds were the worst side we've seen this season at the Amex. You could tell that they had a few half decent players here and there.

It was mainly their defence that was hilariously bad, and I think they perhaps lacked a bit of heart or desire tonight, as for the first time in ages, we seemed to be winning more of the 50/50 challenges than the opposition.

That 10 was really crap though.

 

[Sussaxon]

Looked like were going to easily concede in the first 10 minutes, and I thought "here we go again". But what a fantastic last 80, most comfortable we've looked since Gus's time?! Or am I getting carried away?

Anyway, I voted for 3.

 

[pasty]

If just the sitters had gone in we'd have won 6-0.

Spot on.

It was me in WSU, just after that effort that came off the post into the Leeds 'keepers arms, that started the (nearly taken up) song

It should have been six
It should have been six
You mossy *******s
It should have been six

Leeds were the first side to come here this season and look beaten with ten minutes to go, everyone else that has come here has looked like they were still in it, and going for it, whatever the scoreline.

 

[brightonmark1234]

6 for me

 

[Pinkie Brown]

I couldn't believe how generous and inviting their (non) defence was. No shape whatsoever with gaps galore down the flanks. Probably the most comfortable performance we have had this season. Did Stockdale have a genuine save to make all game? Yes we should have scored a few more, but a win is a win as the old cliche goes.

Another two three would have been a fair reflection.

 

[perseus]

I thought Leeds were quite good. We played exceptionally well. Tex had four good chances and should have converted at least two, so 4-0 for me.

PS: missed the first minute or so because of the trains.

One

Albion had at least two potentially dodgy moments in the second half caused by Leeds doing well from midfield. On chipped through ball was an inch from the forward connecting and a corner caused what should have been trouble. Not the fault of the Albion defence at all, the opposite. Leeds trying to push forward for the whole match left them vulnerable to breakaways. Very much like Leicester last season, they played like for like and matched us in midfield. It cost them competing in midfield at the cost of their attack and defence. Luke Murphy had more possession than any other player on the field and Ince had a difficult game not because he played any worse than normal (better if anything) but because the opposition was better.

Unlike Birmingham who were just plain crappy.

 

[JCL666]

They weren't that bad.

We were good. Very good. Especially at driving forward. Fast attacking football,built on solid possession and a decent defence.

Kayal is the difference for me. He controlled the midfield, and always looks to go forward.

 

[Goldstone1976]

I'm not greedy, so have gone for 5. I just can't see how it should have been any fewer.

 

[shaolinpunk]

I accidentally voted for three, but that's because I wasn't paying attention and was selecting how many more we should have scored. I meant to vote for five, and it wouldn't have flattered us

 

[blue'n'white]

Hughton should really get the credit for this - he'd obviously studied Leeds and realised that their defence plays a very high line so got CMS,Baldock and Tex to run at them.
And it paid off - in spades
Honestly think 6-0 would not have flattered us last night
At last - a manager with a Plan B !!!

 

[fleet]

5-0 would have been perfectly reasonable reflection of the game

 

[Left Footer]

Four.
Actually thought Leeds had some decent players, Cook,Murphy (first half) and the left back Taylor?
Have to give huge credit to Hughton for playing CMS as we obviously looked to get in behind their very flat back four.

Agree with this. Hughton could well have been a contender for MotM last night. And......8...

 

[Superseagull69]

I can't understand how they won versus 'boro as they seemed completely unable to defend.

The same reason we only Won by 2. Their keeper played a blinder.

 

[Superseagull69]

Leeds were the poorest team I have seen at the Amex this season.

I have to disagree. Hyppia's team was the poorest I have watched at the AMEX this season.
