I’m really enjoying the speed that we’re countering today.

Huge 45 coming up now.

Keep this up please.

Good game. Amazing goal.

 

[Icy Gull]

Amazing what a surge in confidence can do...

I cannot ever remember seeing a better goal from Brighton, absolute 10/10 quality.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Exactly what was needed so far. We often don't hold onto these but if we can, those couple of points could be the difference at the end of the summer.

Come on!

 

[Bold Seagull]

Very negative so far, shame CH is so stuck in his ways.

 

[seagulls4ever]

A really impressive away performance so far. Hopefully we can keep it up.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Just seen the goal online, a thing of beauty

The MOTD panel would be purring over that goal - if we were Man City!

 

[oldboyroy]

go as defensive as u like Chris I will settle for this all day long

That passage of play for the goal was peak Brightalona

Well what a player Izzy is proving. I thought I was seeing things when he almost carbon copied last weeks goal, the he slices through them like a hot knife through butter, keep him on the left please though Chris and sub March for Knocky. Whats up with March he seems to have lost a yard of pace and cant keep the ball down, he seems panicked

Great half

Can't wait to see it on MOTD - was fortunate enough to have a good view of hiss effort last week "live".

Oour 2 bezt goals in nearly as many years IMO have been Izzy in the space of a week, joy to behold

 

[ManOfSussex]

I just watched the goal again - 1,2,1,2, dribble, BANG!

If that sounds a bit like sex, it's not - it's much better - It's Jose Izquierdo.

There may be different ways to play footy, but when you're a bit weaker than most teams in the division, and you're going to be forced to defend deep, fast counter-attacking is the only decent solution I can think of. Ignoring the last couple of goals, that's why we need Jose, and also why I'm praying Jurgen can do similar. Particularly when defending a lead away from home, knowing that the home team will come at us.

That's good to hear we are using that part of our game as i have always thought it was a main strength and we have not done it often enough.

What's wrong with reddit?

Thanks for getting me to persevere.
A really good performance that was. Fingers crossed for the next 45 and, if we can hold out, you might have to revise one of your relegation candidates
