How many is that for Joao Pedro in all competitions now?

15 I think.

 

[Zeberdi]

Dunk limping at the end. That’ll please some on here.

What? Why would Dunky being injured please anyone?!

 

[The Clamp]

Lovely.

 

[Marxo]

I'm glad Peupion got a quick cameo, he was brilliant with the U21's.

 

[trueblue]

back to the ball and headed onto his arm from half a yard whilst jumping
Thought those were not given now?

At least we didn’t have to wait 3 minutes while VAR watched it 20 times before backing the ref’s terrible decision.

 

[The Fits]

What a goal the fourth was.

 

[Pavilionaire]

JP MOTM for me.

Buonanotte frustrating - anither silly yellow card - but he is becoming moee influential and getting better.

A nice away day for those that travelled, all boxes ticked.

 

[zefarelly]

Did you happen to see any of our lads there while you were digging up your swedes? They too seemed to have missed most of the first half

Here we go ..

I was just strimming paths etc ( rookie stuff for the boss). Got to keep them below ankle level of some players keel over feigning injury if they 'feel contact'

 

[trueblue]

looking at it again, I think VAR overturns that

It wouldn’t though. That’s why it’s pointless.

Listening to the fantastic Albion away support as always

I wish we would not sing those songs that nobody can hear what the words are. Yet "Brighton from the south" was very clear regarding which set of supporters were singing at the time. I will agree they were in fine voice.

 

[Mike Small]

Dunk was grimmacing a bit before he came off. Despite me being fed up with that penalty give away, I hope it's nothing.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Not the greatest performance but job done. Pedro's great and getting better. He's going to finish the season with 20+ goals unless something goes wrong.

 

[Beach Hut]

were loose

Wrong Dear Friend, were won

 

[nwgull]

Plenty of entertainment for the travelling fans.

Another 4 goals for the Albion.

3 points.

Job done.

You've been on NSC long enough for this amendment to not need explanation.

 

[The Fits]

Please can we have a nice plum home tie now and not a northern away day.

 

[portlock seagull]

That was a fine afternoon's work, happy days!

Sounded like we had to work for it, but you’d expect that away to Stoke under a new manager too. Well played lads!

Ridiculous that our star striker didn’t get on the sheet of a 4 goal win

Joao Pedro is our star striker. He is so f***ing good, and our top scorer.

Ferguson is out of form, but he's only 19 years old - his best years are ahead of him. It'll come soon enough...

 

[Sheebo]

Really poor first half by our high standards - better second. Could have.. sorry could have been 6 or 7. Job well done. Absolutely huge credit to the huge away support - 3.5k ish I believe - could hear you all game and you deserved those 3 goals in front of you for your travel and effort.

Onto round 4 and can watch the other games nice and chilled - and now a 2 week and 2 day break to get some players back and a well earned rest.

He's struggling isn't he? Looks off the pace, poor decision making, low in confidence. Welbeck has come back at the perfect time. We all know he'll come good but he needs to be handled carefully right now.
