It was interesting to see Tammy Abrahams reaction at the end of the game on BBC TV, looking down shaking is head .... I guess he might have been thinking why did I pick this sh*te....

then he'll remember that he picked them because he was greedy enough to demand 1m quid payment to his family (on top of all the other payments to himself and chelsea) which swansea were the only ones stupid enough to pay.

Great result. My only concern was the defend what we hold attitude in the 2nd half, which almost came unstuck with that shot that hit the bar.

Swansea were poor, and a 2nd goal would have made the last 20 mins more comfortable if we had gone for it a bit more.

the subs were positive though, so is it the team that is shutting down by itself rather than instruction from CH.

We got lucky there, Swansea were terrible and we were also shite in the 2nd half. Hey ho, good to win when the performance is not good.

Do we really need to see it that way.
Swansea may be poor at the moment but they still have good players and they were at home, a rocket and a change of tactics at half time and you have to expect them and any other side to do better, and we are not Man City.
Their finishing and free kicks were bad but to hold on and win says a lot about us as a team that can go ahead in the game and hold on, we have a very good defence, and we had some luck which is always useful.
2 back to back away wins not bad that.

Bloody hell what a great win. We defo needed 3 points today. Great first half, awful second. Hughton needed to take Gross off much earlier- he was knackered and really slow, worst game for us. Thought we were gonna pay for that. Also knocky gave it away in some bad areas. When Tammy was through and hit the bar I thought the worst! But who gives a feck- we,re eighth!!!!!!

And yet again it looks like I've picked me the wrong week to give up Saturday night profligate binge drinking.
 


Is it just a coincidence, or are these teams conveniently having a bad game when they play us, or is it because we are doing something to stop them playing well?

It didn't sound like the most enthralling game, but I'll take a 1-0 win every week, regardless of how we play.

And I see Norwich lost to relegation threatened Bolton today. Abraham and Pritchard that's karma, BHA style. :)

I’m listening to that.

Murray’s more the era of Rooney, Kane, Vardy, Sturridge, Welbeck. Let’s face it, they’re a level above, especially as far as pace is concerned or overall skills.

But Murray is proving to the doubters that he’s a PL quality finisher.

Phil Neville,who talks in a strange accent but doesn't talk shite, said that he thought Brighton were the team of the season so far. We have a very effective way of playing. I noticed during the commentary how often the commentator and Birtles, the summariser, mentioned Duffy and Dunk and our defence in general. Only 11 goals conceded in 11 games. Muzza is doing well with what he has but a faster, more skillful striker in January would move us up a level.
