63 travelling fans salute McNulty :thumbsup:

He got a standing ovation from 64 Albion fans when he came on (he was wearing a kidney protector under his shirt. :thumbsup:

i counted 67 not that it really matters, still a good turnout for such a long distance friendly

I counted 63 about two minutes to three , then the bloke who always wears a grey jacket came in at five past.

Really good performance. I know it's only a friendly but it's the best I've seen us play for a long while. We looked good on the ball, tracked down when we didn't have it and often won it back. Elphick and Virgo/Tunnicliffe won almost everything in the air.

Only downside was Cox's finishing, we could and probably should won 4-0 or even 5-0.

Spot on! Really enthused by today's display.

That's good news, it shouldn't never have been in question. He shouldn't take the risk, he means too much to us.

I'm genuinely stunned at how well it seems we've played today, bring on Mansfield!!! Oh, I meant Walsall.... :lol:

The applause for Jimmy Mac was the loudest I heard all game apart from the goals ...... Scunny fans around me were surprised there were that many Brighton there

:drink:a good display on the whole-I personally was impressed with Kuipers
communication with his defence-if he gets a bad injury this season it could well be to his tonsills!!

Could the three of us who were singing be heard from the West Stand?

It was amazing that only 3 of us were singing , everyone else was content with the odd round of applause. A couple of the stewards remembered us from the previous game when we lost 1-0 as we were conspicuous as the only ones standing until told to sit down.

From info provided by Insider, and our website match report. Scunthorpe website report didn't know McNulty and Murray had swapped shirts between team sheets going to commentary box, and kick-off.

Numbers only of interest to those who were at the match, but hope positions of more general interest as indication of Slade's thinking.

Team looked very organised, in both the first half and the second half mix of players - wouldn't have known from the game that half the faces were new.
