Socceroos goalkeeper Mat Ryan on a high as he heads to Honduras
London: Mat Ryan hailed Brighton's journey into the top half of the Premier League as he prepared to embark on his own marathon round-the-world trip.
The Australia goalkeeper kept a fourth clean sheet of the season as Glenn Murray's winner at Swansea gave Brighton successive top-flight away wins for the first time since 1983 and plunged the Welsh club into the relegation zone.
It was the perfect boost for Ryan ahead of a World Cup play-off with Honduras which will determine whether the Socceroos will be at next summer's finals in Russia.
"I've got two massive games now and we'll be doing everything as a nation to get there," Ryan said.
"I leave for Honduras now and after the game continue that way to Sydney for the second leg.
"I'm coming back to London through Dubai so I'm literally going around the world, but I'm not complaining by any means.
"It's part of being an Australian footballer and I wouldn't change anything to go and represent my country.
"The pinnacle of being a footballer is playing in the Premier League and getting the chance to go to a World Cup, so I'll focus on recovery now and getting to Honduras in the best shape I can."
Ryan, in truth, was not overly-exerted at the Liberty Stadium as Swansea spluttered in front of goal once again.
Premier League new boys Brighton had a late scare when Swansea substitute Luciano Narsingh struck the crossbar in stoppage time.
But it was another solid defensive performance from Chris Hughton's Seagulls, who have now lost only once in six games.
"The confidence is high and I've always felt in my experience that when things are going well you just let your instincts take over," said Ryan, a summer signing from Valencia.
"I'm in a bit of rhythm with the guys and everyone is similar. We've had that adaptation phase with players coming in and getting used to the league.
"The improvements are there to be seen and we're just growing and growing."

I wasn’t convinced when we first signed him, I thought we had let a better goalkeeper go on a free and spent £5m unnecessarily.
I’ve changed my mind. He’s great and has been a positive factor in our decent start to life in the PL.

Pretty much this. He had a ropey start where he more or less looked like an outfielder in goal but since West Brom he's grown into the team and division. He's making key saves but more importantly he's controlling his box. I'm now very happy to have him in the team. I almost want Australia to qualify for the world cup now...

What, two balls struck straight at Ryan's body? I'll pass thanks.

True, a taller keeper would have held the first goalbound effort.

To be fair to Ryan all the new signings look shit

Stockdale was a unit. If Duffy trains into Ryan I'd fear for him. Best keep it to hair ruffles.

He started dodgy but most have the ability to reserve judgement. I love it when outspoken bold posters get outed - one of the biggest mistake in our history ffs! 
I will maintain Stockdale would have done well in the prem though. His distribution was the best I’ve seen from a keeper and his shot stopping was class.

I'm surprised Ryan even played.
Although putting Solly in goal would be brave.
Does anyone still think he's not good enough? I mean when that Barnes isn't good enough for league one thread started, every time he had a good game someone bumped that thread, there were still people around arguing he got lucky, or that old 'one swallow...' chestnut (after each of his 20 goals). Bumping that Barnes thread showed there were people who still didn't rate him. Does that happen with this thread? Surely bumping this thread is just pissing in the wind? Or has the continued criticisms of Ryan completely passed me by?
TBH I only
d it just for the humour, after what ended up being a disappointing weekend.What does seem to be missing are the posters owning their wrongness, I assume they are waiting for a clanger to be dropped so they can saddle up once more.
One particular highlight is a rarely wrong poster pinning Ryan not actually being as shite as he said, solely on Roberts' coaching.
Still it's better than being wrong.

Stocko was good, but his decision making was suspect......
Distribution was still the best I've seen in the top two divisions in recent years.

definitely not good enough
I just love these double saves he comes up with, must be 3 or 4 this season, blinder
