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

[birthofanorange]

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

Annoying that our failure to hold on to those 2 x 2 - 0 leads would have had us level with City and Villa on 35 points.

 

[Napper]

Much needed win .

Dull first half but much better 2nd

Jury out FH for me but made good positive subs

4 points next 2 be great

We all needed this

Virgo you mean

Virgo you mean

Whoah! I had a glitch in the early 2000's defender matrix there. 🫣

Georginio is my favourite player, brilliant interview and then selfie videoing himself on his phone with our fans in the background, he is always smiling

 

[Eeyore]

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 ?

When racing towards a goalkeeper who gets to the ball first, do you:

A) Try to slow if possible, turn your back and protect yourself. Or...
B)

 

[maltaseagull]

Commentators are saying Ayari has been excellent. Potential MotM. But reading on here he's shit and has been shit and should have been hooked in the first 10 minutes.

I don't know what to believe anymore...

Pundits. Ex pros with no agenda.
I am guilty of this ref O'Riley.

Fabian saying on TNT we 'changed' at HT by going 'more vertical'. Glad to hear he said we have to acknowledge there's still a lot more to improve... Also gave a big shout out for Georginio as a player and as a character.

Mitoma 'suffered', he's a 'sensitive' player and 'good learner'. Positive experience (scoring) will help him get his belief back..

On challenging for Europe: 'Take it game by game, we have ambitions and big potential, but we lack maturity on the pitch. We are ambitious but take it game by game'.

Then Joe Cole weirdly implied we 'should be going top six or even higher'?!

seems like a trick question

Rutter has to start every game now.

Pretty sure he started on the bench due to fitness, agree though he should start but what an option to bring on with a tired defence

 

[birthofanorange]

Just need Man U to stay 0 -1 and it's been a good night.

Balls.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

I like the three points. But, to be honest I didn't like (or understand) the game plan, I didn't like our ponderousness, and I really didn't like Pedro assaulting their keeper.

Let's hope this helps us turn around and start playing as we were again.

Well done on producing a textbook NSC crock of unduly negative bollocks.

 

[Beach Hut]

Setting off for Shannon in 30 mins - excited as ever - a win would be lovely!

A win we got, very nice to meet you

 

[Seagull58]

Delap complaining to Fab about something. It can't be Veltman though.

Delap is a wanker and if he keeps on with the snide stuff that he was doing tonight some old pro will deal with him properly.

 

[AZ Gull]

Have we ever lost a game Mitoma has scored in?

4-2 defeat at home to Arsenal on December 31 2022.

 

[Beach Hut]

were loose

Very wrong, Dear Friend, very wrong

Were won(dered)

 

[birthofanorange]

Balls.

FFS, a Diallo hat-trick in 12 mins.

The funny thing was that he was booked for foul play. So if it was a foul it was a serious one. NSC would be in meltdown over that. I sensed the ref was a bit unsure and left it with upstairs. So there's a greater leeway there. We were very fortunate there. I hope we have one in the bank

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Well done on the away support tonight, clear and loud for the entire game

Particularly enjoyed the Christian Walton he’s one of our own after his corner mishap

 

[Eeyore]

FFS, a Diallo hat-trick in 12 mins.

Might be a good thing. Hopefully a dull return to mediocrity for them on Sunday.

Well - you say that. But actually I'm generally very much a glass half-full (if not more than half-full) person. I just found it hard going tonight - but obviously happy with the three points. The two things aren't mutually exclusive.
