[Albion] Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Drebin]

Absolute textbook away win.

Apparently Hürzeler can do gritty away wins too! He completely out tacticed Howe.

 

[Southern Scouse]

Blimey, amazing

 

[Weststander]

I know nothing about the game itself or comments mid match in this thread, I just followed scores in Betfair.

But what I do know is …. fkn brilliant .

Don’t care if the win was deserved or not.

 

[Mustafa II]

Excellent win! Delighted!

All things considered, it was fully deserved. We absorbed their pressure in the first half - with a bit of luck, coupled with their poor finishing and some great saves from Verbruggen.

2nd half was very even - arguably we were better and with the better chances. We defended awesomely at times, although their finishing was very poor throughout.

VERY tough place to win at - last home defeat for them lot was in January against Man City - this is a GREAT result.

Gold stars to - Georginio, Welbeck, Baleba, Verbruggen.... and silver stars to Igor, Hinsh and Veltman

Two negatives on this great day are Ferguson, anonymous and poor again, and obviously Welbecks injury - I'm hoping it's nothing serious, the impact wasn't bad, but he looked in a lot of pain. Fingers crossed he'll back in training next week

Time to crack open some beers. Amazing Albion!

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Corrr, that was like a Chris Hughton masterclass. So many quality defensive displays and ruthless counter attack. Absolutely brilliant Albion.

Get well soon Danny!

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

Massive organised defensive performance from the whole squad playing, and that was very well planned by Fab, HOWE must the Geordies be feeling tonight!
Let's hope Danny is comfortable soon, has to be a slipped disc doesn't it?

 

[Blue3]

Well what a fabulous result hope wellbeck is ok

Just read this on the BBC match report ‘Brighton condemned Newcastle to their first Premier League defeat at home since January’
Impressive!

 

[Redinpeace]

Bit of a gut check that was today and BHA passed with flying colours, congratulations on a great away win , hopefully we can do the business against Palace on Monday.

Definitely deserved. They may have had more chances, more possession and what not - but we deserved to win just for our defensive display and one clinical moment.

 

[US Seagull]

Phew. Rarely been so glad to hear the final whistle.

 

[Vin]

Loved it when Fab went 5 at the back. Snuffed the game out.

Impressive!

And that was Man City.

I think you need to upgrade Hinsh to a gold star, he was immense and everywhere.

 

[Hometownglory]

Fantastic result and a great defensive performance. Gutted for Welbeck, he's in the form of his life and then gets injured. Let's hope it isn't too bad.

 

[7dialssouthpaw]

Bart did not bend, Bart did not break

 

[kjgood]

One of the best team defensive displays I have seen from a Brighton team for many a year, very well done.

 

[Motogull]

Huge win. Preying for Welbeck.

A wonderful unexpected win, and great for the fans up there but until I hear that Danny is okay, I can't be as happy as I want to be.
