I think that we just need to play crap football... Look at last season... nothing special.. Made the playoffs...

It's not about playing "crap football" though, it's about finding the balance between defence and attack. And like Óscar García said, he played to our strengths. As we had nowhere near as good attacking options as other, better teams, we focused on keeping it tight. It worked.

Of course, if Sami had been binned on the weekend, it would have been 4-0. Or 5-0.
Depending on whether Mullery (4-0) or Pulis (5-0) was the caretaker.
(If the Welsh weasel had also been binned, that's 5-0 and 6-0, respectively)

Don't get me wrong.. I still think we are screwed until those two go... but YAY 3 points!

Bit like getting excited about the choice of tune by those on Titanic playing their violins.
And by the sounds of it, that really is all.

Witty but irrelevant, we just won and are no closer to the bottom.
I still gave you a thumbs up as I've not heard that one before.

Thanks. [emoji6]
In the grand scheme I think it's tonight win that will prove irrelevant.

What an odd feeling. I would love to be delighted for our first win in light years but I just can't. We were poor tonight, if ever there was a need for a "papering over the cracks" thread, it's tonight.
Difference between tonight and the majority of the games we have played this season?
Our opponents didn't score.

Bizarre wasn't it. If someone had told you before tonight we would play a 4-2-3-1 who would have expected both Ince and Holla to be left out and Gardner and JFC to be holding?!! I couldn't believe it took him so long to change that pourous midfield.
I think the players got the result they deserved and it was nice to see their relief at the final whistle but the manager got a bit lucky. That selection could have cost us. I still think he's the wrong man

With respect completely disagree with the comment about last season, imo Brighton were a class side last season.

I actually didn't think we played that badly tonight . Wigan are decent side who out muscled us at time and played the ball about nicely. We were under the cosh for a lot of that game and came out with a win.
BUT I feel sorry for baldock, he has taken over the mantle of CMS in the " bang it up in the air to our forward" and that doesn't suit him as it doesn't suit CMS. We must play the forest lad up front as he is big and can win and hold the ball up...someone we desparately need!
Be interesting if he plays Walton or Al habsi on satdi! I think it will be Al habsi.

We were so so poor, thankfully for us Wigan left their shooting boots at home

Exactly, is tonight a turning point in our season that we could build on? No.
It was merely a fortunate result which could have easily have gone either way.
I'm all for backing managers that have shown glimpses of something positive, or have achieved in their past e.g Pardew, I've had many discussions with people about how I personally would stick with him throughout the bad spell he was going through with Newcastle.
But not Sami... He has shown NOTHING to suggest he is the right man to lead us to the premier league (which if I am not mistaken, is the long term goal). For Christ sake, he has shown nothing to suggest he is the right man to keep us in the championship!

It makes up for last season when we dominated against Wigan and they caught us twice on the break. I always thought Wigan would struggle once they got relegated, small club deep in Roogbee League territory
