Proof of the difference Matthew Upson has made to the Albion- and a great omen for tonight

[Brighton Breezy]

Please excuse the blog linkery but thought this might interest people.

My piece on the difference Upson has made to the Albion is HERE

And unless I have missed out a game by mistake - I don't believe we have lost a match when he and Gordon Greer have started together.

Some great stats proving how amazing Upson has been for us since January.

I'm with Inigo Calderon when it comes to omens.

He has been bloomin great. And apart from not being in the Premier League - it must be a massive change to be playing in a footballing side.

why don't you paste it up here if you want to make a thread for discussion on it?

That opening paragraph is pretty much a definitive, perfect kiss of death.

(Good blog post though)

It is fair enough to want the site visits.

Agreed, he has made a huge & unheralded difference. Him and Bridge have really shown their class this season.

The Upson Effect

Thought I'd just plug my own thread on this

My mate ( a knowledgeable Brighton fan) posed me this question on Friday. If you could keep one player out of Bridge and Upson, who would it be? Instantly I felt compelled to suggest Bridge, but I couldn't bring myself to it, I was bamboozled. Both have been immense and rather than be happy at keeping one, I'd be disappointed that we'd let one go.

I'd keep Bridge. Mainly as LBs are harder to replace IMO.

But having a true left footed centre back is a rare thing too....
