The Great Pole In Goal

Man of the Match... Surely ?

String of magnificent saves, thought Barnes showed a lot of guts stepping up for the pen with the crowd on his back though.

With out a doubt.

Match sponsors gave it to Barnesy but we all know Koosh was man of the match.

And it'll be noted in the team of the week in the papers as well that the big pole won it

Isn't it weird that an Albion supporter gets visibly weird on a forum when a Brighton player they don't rate scores a couple of goals for us and does well?

I didn't rate Richard Tiltman but I sure as hell cheered the goal(s) he scored.

 

[Baron Pepperpot]

Sometimes sponsors see the position of Keeper as a bit generic. I've never understood that. For me the keeper is the most pivotal position on the field (although perhaps I am a bit subjective because that was the position I played !)

This and.......

This.

He pulled off some good saves, but I wouldn't describe any of them as 'magnificent'. I'd have been pissed of if he'd let any of them in, put it that way.

Nothing against Barnes at all, but PiG should have been Man of the Match today in my opinion.

 

[Seagull1989]

Think someone posted on here once that sponsors aren't allowed to award the MOTM award to a keeper at a home game for some reason! But he was definitely the best player on the pitch today.

 

[SuperJP20]

Agree with most of the above...still- hard to deny a player that scored two and made the other chance out of nothing though

 

[Skaville]

Him or Josh King for me. He looked very useful

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

The MotM shout for Kush echoes Mr Celebration the Elder's feelings. He was excellent today but I just wonder if the sponsors would give a keeper MotM when we win 3-0!

 

[7:18]

100%

 

[Notters]

Definitely.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

PIG had a good game, some routine saves from distance, good positional sense and a couple for the cameras. If you give MoM to the home keeper you encourage an otherwise unimaginative team like Blackburn into thinking they did good.

 

[ozseagull]

Pig for us, King for them. Overall Pig.

"A COMBINATION of terrible defending and superb goalkeeping sent Rovers crashing to their heaviest defeat of the season.
It was an undeserved but never-the-less dispiriting defeat.
Gary Bowyer’s side dominated the second half after doing much to disrupt Brighton’s rhythm before the break.
But they were unable to find a way past the inspired Tomasz Kuszczak."

Man of the Match... Surely ?

Without a shadow of doubt
