Gawd Swansea is a long way away 
Draw at home and win away, thats what the experts say isn't it
Thoroughly enjoyable. First half we were really really good, full control of the game and you felt the goal was coming for ages. Stephens and Propper were excellent in the centre and Izquierdo and Knockaert were really good outlets down the flanks. Murray played a consummate hold-up role again and didn't look at all tired or fading when he was subbed. Second half was much scrappier and I don't think we had a proper chance that half, they closed down both our wingers, especially Izquierdo, kept Bruno and Bong pinned deeper and made it harder for us to break. We were fortunate they smashed the bar in their best chance of the game in injury time.
That said, I think Swansea were possibly the worst home side I have ever seen Brighton play. The number of free kicks that sailed straight out of play and corners that couldn't beat the first man was astonishing; every time they had a break on they would pause, hold it up and pass it back. Carroll and Ki had a nightmare in centre midfield and if it wasn't for Mawson it could have been a lot worse. This Swansea side are going down, that was really poor. The fans turned on them quickly, before we scored Carroll killed a break stone dead and the crowd moaned in unison, and from then on the atmosphere turned progressively worse. By the end fights broke out between fans in the east stand, their players were kicking bags after being subbed, there was a lot of abuse being thrown towards their american owners after the game. Not happy times in Swansea. Abraham looked like the only player really making an effort, he was tricky all game, but Dunk and Duffy were on top.
Dunk and Duffy! What an absolute pleasure to see them in action in person, we got the trademark flying Duffy headers, the trademark Dunk crossfield passes, they were simply superb throughout. Jenas is going to explode if he gets to review us again on MOTD.
Mr Dean got dogs abuse in the buildup but managed to keep himself largely under the radar, decisions were fair albeit he blew his whistle a bit too often. Murray seemed to win every free-kick.
Fans were great, so enjoyable to sing along constantly for 90 mins. The Stephens / Propper song got a long airing At the end the big group hug our players did showed our team spirit whilst their fans massed to boo. Enjoy this everyone.
