Brighton and Hove Albion vs Birmingham City ***Official Match Thread***

[Pevenseagull]

Not just play off places just 12 points off automatic promotion

11 points (mind you, Burnley have just signed a very good forward)

 

[nwgull]

Three good points. Well deserved from the sound of it over 96 minutes.

Stats certainly make it look that way: 17 shots; 7 on target; 57% possession. Brum only had 6 shots, of which 1 was on target.

and the scum lost and are bottom even better.

Home games in the league are becoming increasingly frustrating to listen to (and watch I assume)

Way more frustrating to listen to than watch.

The negativity on Seagulls player is beyond a joke now.

 

[nwgull]

11 points (mind you, Burnley have just signed a very good forward)

Palace were about 11 points ahead of us when we sold them Jobbie at this time last year, and we ended up 3 ahead of them.

It is 11 points but the goal difference suggests that we may need the extra point

 

[TSB]

First double of the season

 

[TonyW]

Sounds like we're dropping really deep. Hopefully Obika can snatch one on the break if Birmingham over commit.

I wasn't best pleased when we dropped deep for the last 15.

We were controlling the game and probably should have pushed on at the that time instead.

Barnes can still do a job(bie) for us.

A superbly taken David volley sent #BHAFC into the play-off places for the first time this season. Full report at http://www.seagulls.co.uk/fixtures-...hid=3632020&tcmuri=921060#Ci6MQXMWBhEabrLJ.99 …

We were really very good today. Easily could have had 5 or 6 - luckily poor finishing/good goalkeeping didn't cost us

Birmingham were awful to watch. Launch long to Zigic, cross to Zigic, fail.

 

[Footsoldier]

and the scum lost and are bottom even better.

Hopefully we won't see the vermin on here for a while as well which would be nice

 

[jjtbha]

Anyone got a video of the goal?

 

[Springal]

Good performance, we are getting stronger. Hopefully Crofts isn't out too long.

That 3 on 1 at the end embarrassing for a professional footballer though. Ideal scenario to improve our GD

 

[whitelion]

WDWW....who's next?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

First game I've been too for a while.

Is the atmosphere always that dead?

 

[porterr]

Just found this on a fans forum, and gives a very complimentary overview of the game yesterday from a Birmingham perspective, and shows again how lucky we are in who owns and runs our club.

Obika would have smashed it in the net if the ball had been passed to him.
