Just a couple of points on players.....
Wood= Honestly i hate being negative about any Brighton player, but the guy needs to be so much stronger he is. Any ball towards his head or chest just seems to be easily won by the defender. He was unlucky with his diving header that hit the post and his link up play when the ball is played to his feet is good, BUT i really do expect so much more from a strapping lad like that in the 50/50's.
Muzza= A complete menace to the Colchester defence. So much so all they could do is foul him. Excellent display but my only criticism is that he still gets caught offside when he shouldnt!
Bennet= Quiet one from him today. Overhit passes, and looked like the angry kid everytime someone didnt find him with a pass. Just an off day?
El Abd= Committed as ever! Quality defending from the lad.

Abort, retry, fail
That did cheer me up.
Mostly good performance from Ankergren, caught the ball confidently, only negative was a couple of skewed passes when under pressure
Defensively comfortable. Great moments of finesse as well as throwing his body in the way from el abd, calderon didn't ventue forward as much, but was mostly effective when he did, especially with the goal.
Dicker made a couple of errors, but mostly made good passes, with a couple of sublime moments of distribution. Giving him less than 7 is a crime. The midfield was also comfortable, a fair few moments of pure passing football to get out of tight spots.
Forwards there was a moment when murray was breaking, wood was in a great position, and murray hit a shot like his penalties - not a lot of power in an easily savable spot, and Wood was clearly annoyed. This was shortly followed by wood breaking with murray in support and I just knew wood was going to take the shot, almost in repayment for Murray not passing, that was when he spooned it massively over. Murray had quite a few heavy touches tonight, costing him possession a lot, but other than those two issues was very good, but his going down is more annoying when the ref doesn't fall for it.
There was a brief moment in the middle of the first half where it felt like the ref not giving us anything and the colchester players seemed to be getting to the players and I was worried we were going to see one of our players getting a red. I thought Murray had lashed out at one of their players, but thankfully I was either wrong or the ref didn't see it and simply gave a yellow.
Generally, I thought it was a comfortable performance by everyone, not our best performance this season, but comfortable and confident and good to see some of those passing moves.

how can everyone else give dicker a 7 but you give him a 4? your so negative, at 4 is a very bad performance.

No, on a full ten point scale it is just lower then the average. What's the point of using a full ten point scale if everyone is automatically 7+ after a win.

To be honest, as much as I am a fan of Dicker, some of his passing was very poor tonight.

Hang on a min you little twat. i know people do usally overrate the ratings but your always negative, not just about player rating but about everything. To me and to most people a 4 is a poor performance.you can call me a flid from behind your wank stained keyboard, but ive heard your a twat so ill let you get on with it.

'Some'. But then, in every match, some passes are poor.
First half tonight, however, he was superb. Second half, they finally bothered doing something about him.

We say that 5 is average so how shite do you have to play to get a 1? has there ever been a 1 in a paper ect?

"I've heard you're a twat"
Anyway, I don't argue with thick people. If there is one disability in life I have absolutely no time for it is the failure to grasp reading.
sorry didnt know this was a english exam. ****

El-Abd? Poyet?
Your obviously basing your point on 2 bad passes made by Dicker. One was an attempted pass with the outside of the boot which if you've ever played the game would know if you slightly miss hit the ball, it'll look like the worst pass ever. The other bad pass was in the same minute. This is how you are judging Dicker whole match performance. You clearly can't read a game to a good standard, Dicker was instrumental at linking up play tonight and for me was the best centre-midfielder tonight. He's better than Sparrow and more composed than Bridcutt.
