duo Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 You can tell he loves playing here - genius signing tbf. Who would have said his name at the start of the transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I had the impression that he was considered a bit of a liability in a CB pair, being utilised mostly on the left side of a 3 man defence or at LB. Did Brighton/Potter even know how good he is? He's the definition of consistent solid performer so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potter definitely knew and said as much, we're lucky to get this bloke, shudder to think of how today would have gone with Lascelles back there.

mighty__mag Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 He's been mint, left Lascelles behind this guy. Hopefully it helps revive Lascelles though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Definitely wasn’t a sexy signing at the time, but successful Premier League teams are filled with no nonsense, solid performers like Big Dan. And he’s been even better than I would’ve expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Been great, should have scored with his header in the first half. Seem to recall a Brighton fan on here saying he is surprisingly shit at getting headers on target, appeared to substantiate that today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Was our back four at one stage this season Ritchie, Clark, Lascelles & Murphy or am I imagining that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Darlow would have been in goal at the time as well. Must be our worst defensive unit as a top flight team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember Spurs away in 2007 being the worst I've known us to have. IIRC it was Matty Patterson, Paul Huntington, Peter Ramage, Craig Moore or something like that. It's close though and that back 4 then was because we had loads of injuries so it least it had an excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Having watched the match I'm surprised there hasn't been more made of his performance on here. Fully expected everyone to be in awe of him. I thought he was incredible tbh, dealt with everything and aside from one imperfect clearance and a missed header he did everything flawlessly.

Optimistic Nut Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Late charge for a World Cup spot? Being left-footed would give him an edge on the likes of Keane, Tarkowski, Coady, etc if he keeps this level up the rest of the season and start of the next.

Lazarus Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Hes an expert reader of the game, which in addition to his composure means he never has to panic or make last ditch tackles. It makes him a complete contrast to Lascelles and Clark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Love his shitehousery. Great moment with Duffy late in the game and then a shot of him basically fessing up to it chumming up with Duffy after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Nice moment at the end of the game where he jumped over the boards and hugged his friends/family in the East Stand. He looked delighted at full time. Another great game from him. I thought Schar and Fraser were outstanding again. But Burn was probably MOTM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 First time I've seen him in the flesh... fuck me he is a giant. His thighs are the size of Fraser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 We look far more organised with him in. One word of caution; we were all over the shop with in swinging corners from their left. They could have scored from at least 4 of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
