Firstly, well done. You were better than us and deserved it.
Here is what Mick had to say (love the comment about Norwich hidden in there
“I could bemoan that we didn’t play as well as we could have done in the first half but that might take a bit away from Chris’s team because I thought they were good”
"We were trying to get to the top and they were ready for us. I seem to remember us when we were in the bottom six when I first came to the club we set about Nottingham Forest and ran all over them, we did the same to Crystal Palace, we did the same to Leicester"
“We’re having to live up to a reputation so I think teams are steeling themselves for that and they’re getting something better out of their teams, but our first half performance wasn’t what I would have expected from us.”
"I know Chris and I know what he’s about and I know how good he is as a coach and a manager,”
“I think wherever he’s been he’s done a great job. I know there’ll be Norwich fans screaming at me but I seem to remember they were still in the Premier League when he was sacked.
“He’s been everywhere, he’s experienced. He was at Tottenham for a long time. I’m a bit annoyed with him tonight, but he’s a great guy, he’s a mate of mine.”
“The lads were really focused and I think we have to give them a bit of credit rather than me taking [it away from them and giving my team criticism].
“When was it easy coming to Brighton? I know they’ve not had the best record lately, but we always put their team up on a sheet of paper and I can’t think for one minute that any of us looked at it and thought it was going to be easy with the team that was playing.
“I thought they played well in the first half. I’m not happy with the goals we conceded, we didn’t do as well as we should have done, it wasn’t like us.”
“The lads were really focused and I think we have to give them a bit of credit rather than me taking [it away from them and giving my team criticism].
"There is no need for any apology from my players. I didn't play well every week. Most weeks, but not every week"
“They’re all off until Monday. Have a break, chill out with their families, go away if they can, have a beer with their mates, I’m not bothered.
“They work exceptionally hard. Just recover and we’ll prepare for Wigan next week, starting on Monday.”
