[Albion] Positives from today (AEK Away)

[HeaviestTed]

Euro shirt actually got a run out.

I thought they might have been saving it for Dublin

 

[timbha]

Pedro seemed to be limping heavily at full time.

Did you see the heavy strapping on Dunk’s shoulder? Hopefully protective.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

All the youngsters who traveled as part of the squad.

What a fantastic experience for them to be part of a winning dressing room in Europe.

What a motivation for their future Albion careers.

The future's bright, the future's Brighton.

What a great point, superb. Just imagine as a youngster being exposed to that. Career defining

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

We won, away, in Europe, with a very weakened team, and i had 5 pints of delicious Neck Oil whilst watching it

And was the loan for that secured against your home?

 

[Hugo Rune]

We have secured knockout football in Europe despite being down to the bare bones. Fantastic achievement. Additional positives:

- clean sheet away from home.
- two wins back to back
- Hinshelwood played well out of position.
- Mitoma back and able to be rested after an hour.
- Milner back
- Igor is going to be a cult hero. Those runs forward!
- Duffus looked lively
- Lallana and Moder will be ready for Saturday to bolster squad
- Verbruggen looked so solid.

What did I miss

Being in the Europa knockout round helps January player recruitment.

 

[The Hermit Kingdom]

Steele’s unbridled joyous leap in the air at the victory. What character.

I’ve ticked off “getting tear gassed” on my Europa League checklist

What did I miss

A precarious situation. It's been reported that it was hamstring strain. He hasn't fully recovered yet. RDZ's exploitation of Mitoma must stop. It's so puzzling that Brighton insist on playing a player, who was on the verge of tearing hamstring after being imposed on such a crazy workload, for 70mins. What's wrong with RDZ and the club?

You’re obsessed with criticising RDZ. All 21 posts and not a single positive in them.

Yes, I'm very critical of RDZ. Do you disagree that he's been obsessed with Mitoma? JFA had to step in, otherwise RDZ would have ignored his condition and continued to play him. Disagree?

Doubtless still feeling the effects of a knee in the small of the back from that **** Vida

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The Albion showing true grit to dig deep and grind out an unlikely win despite being down to the absolute bare bones. A bit like at Forest really. Warrior class!

 

[HangletonGull]

Igor and Duffus
Clean sheet
Bart (has to be number 1)
No injuries
And bloody knockout football in the uefa cup !

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Igor, Verbruggen and Dunk.

As debutants, the European journey definitely continues.

3 European wins out of 5 in a tricky group.

2 wins and a draw away from home as well.

Pedro was moving very stiffly after the final whistle

 

[studio150]

The pulling power of the club in attracting and securing European youngsters goes up another notch as we progress in the competition.

The only downsides that I can see

RDZ becomes wanted by even more clubs.

And on a personal level, not sure now much more my wallet can take.

 

[rebel51]

Pedro seemed to be limping heavily at full time.

A precautionary limp

 

[Nicks]

Seems we can keep clean sheets in Europe but not in the Premier League.

 

[Simster]

The progression in Europe also makes a perusal of the #cpfc tag on twitter worth browsing on an Albion European match day, as dozens of Nigels froth at the mouth wondering why it can't be them.
