Someone linked this thread in the Greer one but thought some of the quotes were deserved of their own thread:
Brighton were better all round than I'd expected.
A well drilled, well organised side with no weak links.
Not much spectacular going on but that's a winning formula for the Championship level.
And what turned Zamora from the 'Can't run, can't jump, can't be arsed' lump he was at QPR into what he was today? Same manager as well, strange
What struck me about Brighton was that they didn't just play lots of neat passes in defence/midfield like loads of teams seem to do ( but actually never really show any penetration). Brighton were far more concerned with end product than most teams (rather like ourselves) which was refreshing to see. Zamora was really good and I was glad he tired and went off. However, without ever hitting the "heights" we still made 2/3 great chances to win it in the second half and we may come to rue that, despite SD putting a positive spin on it all.
Maybe puts some of the silly negative comments from fans on here into perspective?
