[Albion] What a win!

[portlock seagull]

Just waiting for VAR to award Southampton a penalty once our team coach has left the car park...

You sir are a seasoned veteran and no mistake!

Credit to Potter. There is no doubt that he has shown enough this season to indicate he has incredible potential as a manager.
I'd say in 2021 he has got a lot more right than wrong.

Really hope we have a positive summer in terms of culling the guff and getting in some quality and can really push on next season.

He's very good with facial and other language that says what a bloody stupid question without actually saying so.

I agree, those media types are pretty poor in general questioning and they deserve a bit of a snigger. Hope he calls one out one day like he did the ref.

Potter is way too professional here and could learn a thing or two from Dunky!

 

[Farehamseagull]

Just magnificent! I can’t put into words what a win against that lot means to be!

So proud of Potter and the players, a totally deserved win. And a bit of justification for those of us who have continued to support him [emoji106]

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Well yes but . . . why the poll? how could it be anything less than three points gained? or am l being a ?

Relativity of simultaneity

 

[osgood]

Wasn't it?

Hmmm !

Geoff Hurst , Jimmy Greaves ...

Jumpers for goalposts ??

Living in that part of the world, I thought you’d be especially ecstatic.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Utterly wonderful, stood for the last 15 minutes, well done chaps

 

[Boroseagull]

Dear PL.....please can we play all our remaining games away from home?

B&HA

 

[Official Old Man]

As a free hit according to Giraffe, it is 3 pts gained. But we are as good as them and so this should be targeted as a draw. So two pts gained.

Don’t know why everyone’s celebrating? We lost the xG today.

Southampton (1.03) 1-2 (0.97) Brighton

3 massive xG points dropped.

This is the secret to our success, Potter take note.

Also, should ask if we can change the Newcastle match to an away game, statistically we’ll have a better chance of coming away with all three points then

 

[warmleyseagull]

It's a funny old game full of funny old fans on funny old forums, just a few hours ago we were staring at relegation now I for one is looking how far up the table we could manage before the season ends

Yup. Lose to Newcastle, Fulham beat Leeds, and 3 games against Man U, Everton, and Chelsea, and we shall all be committing hari-kari.

Newcastle will in theory be harder. We will probably have a lot more possession than today and Newcastle will be happy with sitting back and hoping for a point or doing a Palace. We have done far better this season when we have less possession.
Yes! I'm already worrying about next week and not enjoying this one enough!!

I agree with your analysis. Newcastle will probably score every big chance they get but I think we’ll limit them to one or maybe two.

However, we’ll create a number of big chances as we always do. I had this down as a 1-1 but with Tross and Lallana finding some confidence in front of goal now, it might be the match where we take all our chances. Don’t underestimate the affect the Fulham v Leeds match will have on this fixture the night before.

We get one xG point for a 1.03-0.97 “draw”.

First time this season we’ve got more real points than xG points from a game. Very, very long overdue - obviously.

Results wise I agree with you, but we probably converted 2 more difficult chances today than we had vs Villa, West Brom, Fulham, Palace. So while there is this theory we do better with less of the ball, that is somewhat skewed by us simply taking chances today rather than missing them all.

Congratulation on the win today, totally deserved as well!

I said on another thread after our WBA defeat that ‘ lesser’ teams just pack their penalty area, and we don’t have the nous to score.
But, we now have Lallana and Welbeck fit, and firing, and that gives us a little bit of clever in the box.
Hopefully, this will be enough on Saturday night.

P.S. Can you imagine what the atmosphere for this game would be if we were all back?
