I think Murray puts one hell of a shift in and, this is even more the case now, given we've adopted the gegen-press this season, which was illustrated so brilliantly against United.
When the red line appears under his name with you have removed the space, right click and select add to dictionary.
This.....he has struggled towards the end of many games, but not Sunday. He was giving the two CBs a proper schooling in old-fashioned CF play and having the time of his life.
Danny Murphy said something along the lines of ‘that was as good a collective performance as you’ll see from Brighton’ on MOTD2.

Murray was just supurb against ManUre. He showed skill, effort, commitment and balls right through the game, his goal if scored by a Brazilian playing for a top club instead of some old nothern guy playing for 'Little old Brighton' would have been splashed all over the press. I listen to Talk Sport and for several days there has been this great who ha about how poor ManUre were and how they let us win. We won because we were the better team on the day and wanted it more, as usual they came thinking they just had to turn up to win.
Well Jose, 'Your boys took a hell of a beating'.................................... again. They were lucky last season against us at Old Trafford with a deflected goal and some poor finishing from us and of course that brilliant win at the Amex. its not luck, we beat them fair and square.

Tempted to defend him even further and suggest the pass should've been played a touch earlier meaning he would've been onside!

I thought the point SB was making was that we were at risk. We got away with it because we did well injury-wise. Not needing to use the cover and not having the cover are two very different positions.

In the 2nd half of last season we had 5 fit strikers.

And yet there have been numerous articles in the press linking free agents with PL teams before Aug 31st.
1 rogue article in the mirror disagrees ( including with other mirror articles ), and yet it seems to get almost mythical belief.
Regardless of the articles, we currently have Ben Barclay on our books who is eligible to be named in the 25 man squad and is home grown, therefore unless we loan him out we are unable to sign a free agent and add them to the 25 man squad. Rules prevent you leaving a gap in the squad and filling it at a later date if you have eligible players on your books already who are not named in the squad.

Don't these rules kick in on August 31st when the squad is finalised ?

Florin And one - correct and RH click - Florin Andone (with a red line under the Andone to warn me is not a correct spelling) - RH click again - Florin Andone - hey, it works! Thanks for the tip. I'll now be able to type the likes of 'Hughton' and 'Izquierdo' without that irritating red line appearing under them too! Cheers TG.

Not taking anything away from Murray and his performance but he was helped by the fact that United played their 2 CBs wider than most teams do to cover their full backs which left the middle of the defence wide open. which suited GM.

I think his hold up play is a lot, lot better, personally.
He's just not as clinical.
According to Sky News , you can sign a 'free agent' until the 31st for your current 1st team squad BUT they have to be HGP , you cant sign an overseas free agent for your current squad until January
so the new rules made that as clear as mud really .... hopefully all transfer windows will close on same day soon (sure FIFA or UEFA are said to bring this in next year)

This andone injury seems to be dragging on for ages, Naylor saying he is still yet to resume full training. Hope he doesn't turn out to be a permacrock!
I never said never. He was chasing the final few points for safety and the last two he could afford to - We are talking about max 10/40 games you know well as I do it's not the norm for him to have 2 strikers on the bech
He usually has
1. Goalkeeper
2. A Full Back
3. A Centre Half
4. A Defensive Midfielder
5. An attacking Midfielder
6. A Winger
7. A Striker

Being rather cynical could his injury be the reason we bought Andone at a much reduced price apart from his agreed release fee.

They've massively clouded the who thing by having the transfer window close early but the 25 man squad not requiring to be finalised until end of August. It used to be straight forward, transfer window closes and squad is named the next day. We still had to name a squad and can make changes but this is to allow players to be sold.
So as an educated guess I'd say any changes to the squad can only be made with players already on the books, at the close of the window. It's only when there is no-one eligible on the books that a free agent can be added. That would be the closest working to the old system when the squad was named straight after the window closing.
