Brighton and Hove Albion v Newcastle United FA Cup round three***Official Match Thread***

[pasty]

Is Strachan pissed? He's just tipped Coventry to win at Spurs

We made them look poor.

I'm not so sure. They do not look a Premier side and if they carry on like that they will go down.

We played well, but I am not getting carried away.

Great game. All played well and made them look poor.

After the sham performance against Watford the players are putting in an effort at last.

And it's about confidence and the win at Ipswich and today must have given the whole team and fans a massive lift for 2013

Love this from the BBC website

Sharper to the ball, and swifter to make use of it, the Seagulls toyed with their more celebrated opponents for much of the opening 45 minutes, producing some stylish attacking moves while tackling, battling and dominating territory in their uncomplicated and effective way.

A game if confidence ..spot on

 

[Bigbelly]

We played well, but I am not getting carried away.

Nor am I but it's a massive confidence booster for our 2nd half of the season. Hopefully this can push us on and gain an automatic spot.

I can't believe Poyet sometimes. If there was one player who would have been chomping at the bit to play today, it would have been Lualua. No real width on pitch, it's all on the bench and Ankergren in goal. Feel sorry for all those who paid top dollar to go to the Amex today. Terrible decisions, we will lose. R.I.P THE FA CUP.

I don't know if uve referred to this yet..but you were so WRONG!!!!!

 

[Bigbelly]

Double post.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Double post.

Too right..but it's called enjoying the moment

To right Lamie, Just bought an 8 pack from the local so will watch the other Cup results come in followed by a lovely curry then hit replay on sky plus and watch the game again. You have to enjoy these moments

i just wonder how many of the 'too expensive not going on principle' brigade regret missing out on the best performance of the season so far, and a cracking atmosphere despite the (relatively) poor attendance.

Big game again and Poyet goes for a defencive line up, will he never learn. That side has as much cutting edge as my knob. Expect Buckley and Lualua to come on with 25mins to go, we may snatch a goal and Gus will be hailed a tactical genius for scrapping a draw. That's if the game isn't beyond us by then.

You nailed that prediction.

Yeah , I've just ordered my tickets for Birmingham City and Sheffield Wednesday . Come on you super seagulls

 

[brakespear]

Come on be honest, everyone feared the worse before the game. We played well against Newcastle reserves, lets not kid ourselves.

Oh, enjoy yourself for once

 

[LamieRobertson]

I'm not sure it's in his DNA

So have I

Honestly, no I didn't.

Come on be honest, everyone feared the worse before the game. We played well against Newcastle reserves, lets not kid ourselves.

I'll be honest, When I saw Ankerman in goal I did fear the worst and thought maybe a draw or nick a 1-0 win. The only thing I can agree with is that thank god Newcastle didn't have many shots on target. If we get Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool in the next round then lets hope he is not in goal.
