TK-421 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Great result, especially going into the international break. By next game, we'll hopefully have more new players in, who'll have had time training with the squad, and hopefully be ready to kick on. Onwards and upwards!!

High Five o Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Really good performance if you ask me, very professional. And its good to see us string more than 3 passes together, unlike most of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 As I said, lovely and bizarre to be so proficient from set plays. Delighted there is such a winning vibe and such positivity around the club. Think the performances will only get better, more goals from open play, but in the interim I'm really impressed how we've bounced back from the opening two defeats. What a turnaround! Good professionalism as everyone has said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 We've just brushed aside the team that finished joint 2nd without breaking sweat. More positives than negatives to take from today but this is bullshit. They finished 3rd with a load of flukey narrow victories and were found out in the playoffs. That is really a load of shit Ron.

SUPERTOON Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Brilliant win, great performance. A bonus is that every player who needed a confidence boost e.g. Sels and Shelvey got one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Great result, didn't think we were amazing but we did what was required well. The start in particular was very good. A soft sending off was obviously coming so pleased they got there before us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Still a bit of work to do. We were the better side, but I never felt completely relaxed. We were a bit lucky that they didn't score from any of their set pieces. Their delivery was good, and we looked very vulnerable. Sels doesn't look confident in those situations, but I think he'll improve. A great free kick from Shelvey but I don't think he helps out enough defensively. Hayden and Diame were the main plus points, I thought. Perez looks like he'd rather be somewhere else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 2-0 up against one of our main promotion rivals and this forum is still so negative It's ridiculous. Very professional performance, easily did enough to win. People were upset when we lost to Fulham and Huddersfield based on their league position last season. We've just brushed aside the team that finished joint 2nd without breaking sweat. What is with the negativity, man? The club's being slowly awakened from a coma by a world class manager and people are pissing and moaning over everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Only caught it in bits and pieces as I was busy but we looked comfortable from what I saw. That red card knocked Brighton when they looked to be getting back into the game like but we could hardly help that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Started well, poor from half an hour in to when they got the man sent off, then closed it out well. We'll go up easily if we play like we did in the first half an hour more consistently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Comfortable win without our main strikers against one of the promotion contenders. We will be loads better once the window shuts and things settle down too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thought we played really well, you can see we actually train and learn things through the week now. First full game I've seen this season and I was expecting Sels to be terrible but I was impressed with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Sels 7 - apart from one flap, solid Anita 7 - never looked troubled despite Brighton attacking a lot down his side in the first half, passed well Lascelles 8 - moved the ball well, strong against Murray. plus one for a glorious goal Mbemba 7 - broke out of defence and distributed well. weak in the air a few times, so could have docked a point to 6 Dummett 7 - a solid game, passed the ball well. worried he was going to get rinsed today, but that only happened once - helped by gouffran Shelvey 8 - passed it well, did his work in defence and got plenty of rest when rotating positions with diame Hayden 7 - wins everything that comes his way, passes like an Arsenal product. going to be a huge player for us in years to come Ritchie 7 - worked his bollocks off, nothing came his way to score. cracking delivery for the goal Gouffran 6.5 - insane effort off the bar, put in a proper shift to double up with dummett in defence. didn't offer enough going forward, but that's probably because of all the shuttles he was doing ind defence Diame 7 - did some nice stuff in the first half in attack, just the sort of player we need at amc, rotated with shelvey and did a lot of running in defence as well. fantastic signing Ayoze 6 - worked his bollocks off to his credit, did some alright play in spells, but doesn't have it in him to dominate his man and drive us forward, petty at times which resulted in the yellow. a stop gap playing at #9.

Well i was watching enough to know it's not flukey to be the top scorers in the Championship last season. Or do all those fluckey narrow wins add up to 72 goals ?

Dokko Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Don't really understand Brighton's gameplan of diving all over the place and put their own daft tackles in at the same time. It just meant when anything big came along the Ref had no choice but to book them as well and in the end led to their sending off. Felt we gave Brighton far too much of the ball and our midfield were left chasing shadows for large parts. Not sure if that was intentional after our first two games to allow Brighton to open up and come at us so we could counter, but i thought we'd be seeing much better football than we have so far.

Mr Logic Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thoroughly professional performance. Did enough every area of the pitch and never really looked in danger despite obvious quality in Brighton's attack. Sels coming good and going to get better. Shelveys best game to date maybe? Certainly a great FK. Gouffran did his bit and was an awesome strike off the bar. Perez, someone said he was shit, they don't understand football. He was tireless, pressing, harrying and making himself available all over. After today I have little worries we're going to be top 2 come the end.
