[Albion] Ipswich Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[US Seagull]

Back up to the dizzying heights of 9th in the table! Halcyon days, indeed.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Much better second half.
Presumably Rutter and Welbeck come in for Sunday and I think we can give Man U a beating

Those two are just fantastic together. Up there with the best partnerships in our history.

Don’t know what some seem to think Pedro should have done? He’s running full pelt I don’t know where else he can go?

it was hardly Shumacker on Battiston, and that didn't even get a yellow.

He could have slowed down, or broken his step - the ball was gone.
He could have not jumped up at Walton, he was nowhere near the ball.

And if it was purely accidental, he could at least have stopped and seen how he was straight away instead of a few minutes later.

 

[AK74]

These are a much better performance in the second half.

He did a very good job of protecting himself, which is better than the alternative.

There was no malice, they both went shoulder to shoulder . . . . Why the keeper decided to clutch his head I dont know . . . . I suppose a yellow is reasonable, Keepers are protected and some people aren't allowed to be too competitive.

Are there any other East Anglia teams we can play next?

 

[portslade seagull]

Is that our first consecutive clean sheets of the season

 

[Weststander]

A masterclass in shitehousery tonight.

My Velts highlights were when he kicked the thug Delap up in the air in the first half and then took the dive in the 2nd to get the bully boy a yellow. He was so cross and rattled, he eventually got subbed off!

The tackle that saved JPVH’s bacon first half, lovely interplay with Rutter second half taking the p out of Ipswich …. 80 yards upfield!

Definitely wound them up, bad losers started bringing Velts and other players down, killing the game.

 

[Mackenzie]

Good win that. I'm really happy.

 

[US Seagull]

East Anglia 0 - Brighton 6 (and I’m sure no Norwich or Ipswich fans would mind their teams being amalgamated in this way)

Champions of East Anglia - you'll never sing that.

Or maybe we can now claim to be the Pride of Anglia?

Reminds me of that time we were the best team in North London, a couple of seasons ago.

Plenty of room for improvement for Delap, in fact he reminds me of Silky David Cameron

It he doesn’t jump he’s in huge amounts of trouble. Would have been very nasty.

Also, their players hardly make anything of it, which tells a story .

Watch the replay head on - you'll see Walton got quite a bit of whiplash. Although he wasn't hit in the head, his head jerked quite a lot.

Have we ever lost a game Mitoma has scored in?

He needs a few laps in a proper car .that'll beef it up.

 

[BN41Albion]

That’s like saying what has Hypai got planned.

Hmm...

TBF Lowestoft over 60's walking team could be a step too far . . . We Have Manure on Sunday remember

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Much better second half, subs made the difference. Doesn't take away from a very poor first half, but at least it came out the stronger.
