Hopefully he gets his first cap today.

We would be sitting on 0 points without this guy imo.

Brighton don't look as good as recent years imo. Didn't look great against a poor Man Utd team last week and the 3-0 against a 10 man Everton really flattered them.

@Shadow Puppets appreciate your updates around here, and by all accounts you think Craig Hope is a lying tool. But with the recent Hope article is there even a sembling of truth amongst any of that? With the knowledge that you might have? It certainly has seemed to be a chaotic period of time for us, especially with the backroom movements, and our minority owners selling up very shortly after the Minteh and Anderson trade. So just curious to know if you have heard anything on the contrary?

It was expected that we would sell a big name player... and the club found a way to avoid that. That should be considered an achievement somewhat guys We kept Isak, Bruno, Gordon, Big Joe, etc. Must count for something.

Positives We kept our important players. No looming point deductions. Got rid of some deadwood. Got a couple of project players. Negatives Didn't improve key positions. Got involved in a transfer saga that made us look like amateurs. Potentially sold the answer to our RW problems. 5/10

Not even close to anything factual there Just wanted a truly miserable and pessimistic take and even manage to tag on a conspiracy theory.

January is a terrible window mind. Wouldn't expect much happening there, unless things were either going really badly tbh.

Cool. Everton spent a lot that barely improved the team. Eventually the house capitulated since it was all built on sand. Rather we are smarter and actually sign players which we are sure about. Agree, we should have more options and be more proactive with targets. Hoping lessons are learnt mind.

If we learn our lessons from the window, could be a blessing. The message is out now that we aren't going to just sign anyone. We are not going to pay above and beyond what a player is worth. Can view this window as consolidation. And be more astute in next couple of windows.

Disappointed with the window but still optimistic of the trajectory. Hoping that lessons will be learnt from this fiasco. Don't buy into this Howes being stubborness with only wanting players with Premier League experience... considering his first transfer window we were all over Hugo Etikeke, signed Bruno G and desperate for Diego Carlos and Sven Botman. Not to mention Tonali and Isak. Just lazy, and can only think people bring it up because they want to scapegoat someone.

Imagine being unable to cope with a poor transfer window.. Considering our history with them in the recent past. It's beyond embarrassing. So entitled.

You have literally no idea how it works at the moment. It's a joint effort from everyone in the recruitment team. Eddie Howe being stubborn, ffs.

This is a terrible take.

Brentford doing ok here.

I would be fuming if one of our goals was disallowed like that. There was nought wrong with it.

Wolves actually beat Chelsea on xG. Wolves GK must have had a shocker.

Some left foot attempt that. Don't know where that came from.

We picked up barely any points October though to end of January. Yet somehow 8 points away from champions league football. The league is very, very competitive. It's not a cake walk. Especially away games.

We were too direct first half. Looking for killer balls all the time and then having to spend the next 5 minutes in a low block, with no pressure on the ball. Once Joelinton was able to turn and run through their midfield with the ball, we created decent chances. They dropped off massively, maybe their fitness wasn't as good as ours, but felt we dominated second half barring one or two spells from them.

Joe has had a shocker

That's bullshit tbh. But we had had terrible calls around hand balls in the past. So, happy with this

The crying is back I see. Everyone knew this would be a difficult game.

Wtf Joe

That would be predominantly post match reaction, would have thought. Also with extra time, who knows how much time is available.
