Purely due to it being his 400th appearance, as he wasn't great tonight.

[Albion] Stoke City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***
- Thread starter Dick Head
- Start date
He’s a long way from being an EPL player for us, still a weak kid, bossed by opponents with ease.

Agreed. Annoying thing was when the passes did work, like they seem to way more in PL games, we sliced through them. Hard watch, but in the quarters.

I thought his professional foul on their keeper to stop a quick kick was the highlight of his performance

And relax the sphincter!
Wasn't the best watch but we have been spoiled recently - Stoke didn't really look like scoring at any point apart from that free kick which was the main positive. They seemed up for it too in fairness and were triggering quite an aggressive press at times, RDZ will be pissed off I imagine as we had numbers on the counter a few times and the game would have been put to bed at 2-0.

Hard to get any momentum when you're playing on a farmers field that's been recently ploughed. That and Stoke resorting to Sunday league tackling.
It was scrappy, but we held on. UTA.

Time for ITV to roll out the old cliche that we need a centre forward … one of the highest scoring teams in 2023…
Stoke made it tough for a reshuffled side with quite a lot of youngsters. The type of game we’d have lost many times through the years. I’m happy enough!

Makes you wonder if we are due to pay them £10m in some kind of appearance add on

And incredibly slow and rather weak. Honestly don't know what he offers now and in the future other than morale for the others. Needs some work from RDZ but not sure he has the attributes to help us. Apart from Lamptey, our only fast player created the goal.

Imagine the NSC meltdown if that had been the other way. Referee threads, the lot.Get the frig in there!!! One win from Wembley!!
Best thing Undav did was foul the keeper to stop the break.
He’s only 19. Plenty of time to grow a bit and develop. They aren’t all going to be Ferguson’s.
Fulham at home please. We owe them one!
No doubt we're starting to slide back into the bad old days of Potterball - just on Red Bull instead of Horlicks.
He definitely needs his birth certificate checked. 18 going on 28. Remarkable lad.

Tough crowd. It was Stoke on a Tuesday night - and a nasty Stoke team with it.
