Southampton versus Brighton and Hove Albion ***Official Match Thread***

[Seagulltonian]

Reasonable result, but the missed penalty cost me £100 on Laddies Kamar Kazei bet for tonight

 

[The Wizard]

Dunk

Just got a text saying he was outstanding

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Cant believe we're still 6 points clear of 3rd after a sticky couple of weeks. This league is so open and there for the taking

 

[Barrel of Fun]

That is an excellent result. We have had a dip in form and Southampton are one of the form teams and early favourites to win the league.

We weathered the initial storm and could have nicked a win. Bravo!

sums it up for me really

 

[Zebedee]

4 points clear of 2, 6 points clear of 3.

With our superior goal difference it's actually 5 points clear of the second placed team I think.

 

[samtheseagull]

5 games without a win now.

f*** off mate. were 6 points above 3rd place. we are always going to have poor spells in the league and cup. look at leeds last year. yer ok we could/should have another 4, 6 or 8 points but thats football.

Shame, but penalties aren't always quite as easy as they look.

Just ask Woking.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

averaging 2 points per game but need to have a few more in hand.

"Anyway as for the game not that happy with a draw as we deserved all 3 ponits tonite espiaclly from our frist half performance, but then again if it wasnt for Kelvins penalty save, we would off lost, so all in all i accept the point, but we deffo deseved more tonite imo... Brighton came for a draw and got it. They play so slow though which was very annoying, and try and do these triangle things from the back, but did not work at all in the first half but second hald was much better though. I do worry for Brighton to a degree though because i wonder if they have a plan B if this slow trinagle pass ball from the back stops working. I think when teams figure this out and get used to it i will they well suffer. Having said that though they got a draw tonite so fair play to them. I dont think though they ever came for the win from there tactics, so there game plan worked and fair play to them.... Can not see them winning the league though, sorry "

BTW what an appalling summary from the BBC:

Southampton 0 - 0 Brighton

Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davis was the hero as the Saints held League One leaders Brighton to a goalless draw.

Davis saved a second-half Gary Dicker spot-kick after Radhi Jaidi had pulled back Glenn Murray in the penalty area.

The Saints, who had won their last six home matches, had numerous chances, but Rickie Lambert, Jaidi, Dean Hammond and Adam Lallana all missed opportunities.

Brighton offered little apart from the penalty and have now only claimed two points from their last three games.

Surely the only bit they got right there was the Penalty Save? FFS.

With our superior goal difference it's actually 5 points clear or 2 and 7 points clear of 3, I think.

Bournemouth in 3rd place have a goal difference of 1 less than us, if they catch up the 6 points they'll be ahead of us!

Well, no. Not if he's in Southampton.

He'd have to come to Brighton for that...

[macky]

good result bloody brilliant result

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He is also wrong in thinking that our passing triangles are about aiming for a draw and not about retaining possession.

Sorry. I edited my earlier meassage.
