Lua Lua 9 - Run them ragged, won lots of tackles
Buckley 7.5 - Still looks down on confidence but set up the first goal
Ulloa 9.5 - Love this man

 

[Rich Suvner]

Only listened online but Bridge's drive to get forward at pace sounded quite inspirational and seemed like it was setting a pace of plays we sometimes lack. And good that Lua Lua seemed to regain some confidence to get in behind

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Bridge, Kaz, Bridcutt and Ulloa were stand out players for me, although no-one had a bad game.

 

[BrightonGuy]

Kuz 9.5 - Fantastic, never looked in trouble
Bridge 9 - Quality all game
Upson 7.5 - Very good
Greer 7 - Solid
Calde - 6 - Didn't look awake first half when attacking, much better in the second half
Bridders 8.5 - As good as ever
Orlandi 6.5 - Not his best game, but still good
Lopez 8 - Amazing free kick and was very good again
Lua Lua 10 - Made lots of tackles helped defensively and beat their right-back every time, looked extremely dangerous
Buckley 7 - Looked down on confidence but still decent
Ulloa 10 - Fantastic

 

[JBizzle]

Kuszczak 8 - Good reaction save from Upson. A very solid keeper
Bridge 8.5 - Great player and great signing
Upson 7 - Solid
Greer 6 - Misplaced passes, blamed Calderon a lot

Bridders 8 - Very very good
Orlandi 7 - Quiet but lovely cushioned header for the third
Lopez 8 - Was absolutely excellent
Lua Lua 9 - Absolutely brilliant
Buckley 7 - Great first half struggled second
Ulloa 9 - Quality finisher

Subs: 6.5 each. Ticked stuff over nicely

Gus 10 - Really brave selection today which paid off in spades

Overall, f*cking delighted.

 

[JOLovegrove]

Only listened online, but seems like it really just clicked today. How was Bridcutt, he didn't get mentioned much.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Other than a few misjudged passes here and there giving away needless throw-ins, I thought everyone was outstanding. Perhaps a bit scrappy at times when defending but every single player delivered a performance today.

Now we need to deliver the same sort of performance against Forest

Ulloa got MotM but it could just have easily been Bridge or KLL. I'll give those three a 10 rating and everyone else a 9

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Only listened online, but seems like it really just clicked today. How was Bridcutt, he didn't get mentioned much.

Not as influential as usual but still did a great job.

[hola gus]

May well bein the minority but I don't understand how must of you give Upson a higher mark than Greer? GG hardly put a foot wrong whilst Upson almost scores a ridiculous own goal and placed at least 3 passes directly into the east stand under little pressure. Just don't get the Greer haters.

[goldstone]

Kuszczack 8. Great stop from Upson's header, excellent punch out from a corner, and commanded his area well.
Calderon 8. Nervy first ten minutes, then settled down to play a strong game both defensively and offensively.
Greer 8. Confident on his first game back. Good game.
Upson 8. A couple of stray passes and "that" header, otherwise accomplished game.
Bridge 9. Class, both defending and driving forward.
Bridcutt 8. Did his job exceptionally well. Probably didn't stand out as much as usual because his team-mates all upped their games today.
Orlandi 8. Good game. He and Spanish Dave play well together.
Lopez 8. Really well taken goal and an all-round great performance.
Buckley 7. Not at his very best, but an real improvement on recent performances.
Lua Lua 9. Best he has played for a long time. Particularly strong second half when he was brilliant.
Ulloa 10. I believe the first ten I've given, but this bloke is awesome. Two great goals; holds up the ball extremely well; wonderful ball control; strong defensive contribution. Never thought I'd say it, but I do believe we have at last found a striker not just as good as, but better than Murray!

Subs:
Crofts 8. Slotted in seamlessly.
Hammond. Not on long enough.

Gus 10 ... for finally finally realising that you CAN play with two wingers and wonder of wonders it works.

 

[Skaville]

Kuz 8 - Great stop from Upson. Heart of a lion
Bridge 7 - Didn't look fit to me. One brilliat run in the first half.
Upson 8 - Getting better and better. Was Murray onthe pitch?
Greer 8 Atoned that awful display at Selhurst
Calderon 7 - Gave the ball away cheaply a few times
Bridcutt 8 - Scotland? What a waste. England will regret that.
Orlandi 7 - Not his best performance
Lopez 8 - WHAT a free kick!
Lua Lua 9 Poor for 40 minutes, then a perfect derby performance. Gave everything thew himself into tackles, beat the full back consistently.
Buckley 6 - Not his best performnace, but a good cross for the first
Ulloa 9 - Legend. Absolute LEGEND. What a finish for the third!

You see Poyet, TWO wingers CAN work.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Tomasz Kuszczak 9 Magnificent save from the Upson header and celebrated our goals with passion.
Inigo Calderon 8 Solid, flair and passion.
Gordon Greer 8 Absolutely magnificent performance, Murray never had a chance.
Matthew Upson 7 Sloppy passing at times, but solid defensively when it mattered.
Wayne Bridge 8 Had no problems against their dancers on the wing.
Liam Bridcutt 8 Patrolled the midfield and dominated it from start to finish.
Spanish Dave 9 Oozes flair all over the place and formed a genius diamond on our right with Calde and Buckley.
Andrea Orlandi 8 Quality triangles on the left with Bridge and LuaLua, really added depth and balance.
William Buckley 7 Worked hard and got into good positions, playing himself back towards form.
Kazenga LuaLua 8 Potent and determined to impress. Top class player.
Leonardo Ulloa 9 Links play, holds the ball well and can finish with his head AND feet. Class.

Subs
Andrew Crofts 7 Shame Buckley didn't pick him out late on, brilliant run.
Dean Hammond Participated.

Amazing win and the team performance after going 1-0 up was magnificent. The first 40 minutes are long forgotton now but until we went 1-0 up and then 2-0 straight away, it was in the balance. We scored the goals to change the game in our favour at the right times, that's what we haven't done all season but today we saw the value of taking the chances you create... Sounds simple but it's true.

Not a fan of Greer then.

Radio Sussex thought he was immense. Slotting in seamlessly, and leading a brilliant defence.
