The First 20 minutes v Blackburn

[T soprano]

Last night for 20 minutes Brighton played the best football I have ever seen a Brighton side play in 39 years of watching them , I know we didn't score in those 20 mins after having around 10 shots on target but for those 20 minutes last night I was living the dream , BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL SEXY FOOTBALL AT IT'S BEST

Here Here i thought that was the best 20 minutes i had ever seen too with Vicente on fire

 

[Daffy Duck]

It was just fantastic football to watch.

We just need to start converting chances otherwise it counts for nothing, though.

 

[Albumen]

The best I've seen. If Buckley hadnt fluffed the chance who knows how long it would have lasted.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

You could sense that there was a lot of people who felt the same. Honestly, a bit like watching Barcelona (no I'm not joking).

f*** whether we scored or not. On another day we'd have got 4. Goals will come. The encouraging thing for me is that we're capable of playing like that. Totally and utterly dominating an ex-prem team and making them look silly.

I don't think I've ever seen a Brighton team look that good.

It was brilliant football fit to grace the premier league but that doesn't count for much if we don't score.

54 years for me and I have never seen an Albion side play better football. I was shaking my head in disbelief and laughing with sheer pleasure.

You are 16 years more qualified than me but I certainly can't remember a Brighton team EVER being quite so attackingly dangerous and being quite so dominant. Neither have I ever witnessed anyone nearly as good as Vicente play for us.
I could have sat through hours and hours of that performance..........

 

[half time scores]

Wonderful stuff.

Took a Wimbledon fan for her first 'All the fun of the flair' Brighton experience last night, she lent over to me and said "why dont Blackburn tackle? I replied proudly "They can't".

 

[Randsta]

The guy behind me was literally spunking himself every touch Vicente had.... a bit much in the family stand!

 

[marshy68]

It was amazing. Just sooo frustrating we didnt score.

 

[fcportaloo]

They truly were a joy to watch. Fluid pass/move and at a great tempo. Shame that all-important goal didn't come but bodes well for the future. I hope we can continue in the same style for the rest of the season

 

[slartibartfast]

.... and yet how typical of us that we were a goal down by 23 minutes Sums up the season really. I just laughed out loud when the goal went in, it was just so ridiculous! A similar laugh to when we played Dag & Red in 2011, at home, they were in the relegation zone, we were flying and a win would get us promoted, lots of hope and expectation... and we were a goal down in seconds.. sometimes you realise that there really is a God and that he hates us!!

It was very similar to the football we played for 95 minutes against Bolton.

For those 20 minutes I sat on the edge of my seat like a 5 year old child watching his first magic show then on the 23rd minute when Blackburn scored It felt like I had grown up again and was watching Paul Daniels

 

[brightonrock]

There was a spell for literally about five or six minutes where Blackburn just didn't touch the ball, not once. It wasn't just triangles between keeper and centre backs, it was probing left and right, big 50 yard switches from flank to flank, interchange with forwards and midfield, I just sat there with my mouth open in absolute awe of it. The moaners will inevitably spin it that for all the possession and beautiful build up play there was no end product, but it was incredible to watch and proof, if ever we needed it, that we're going in the right direction. Vicente was an absolute joy to watch, and on another day Ulloa at the far post (blocked) or Hammond either time in the space of a minute (hit the keeper without him knowing much about it, then straight at him) would have buried those chances and we're 2-0 or 3-0 up before half time. Glorious scenes.

The best I've seen.

And yet, there are posts on NSC today criticising Gus's choice of starting 11

I turned to my son and said " this is unbelievable". It was breathtaking.

Been watching the Albion for more than 30 years & I concur with the previous posters.

Only niggle is that we are too elaborate at times, let the opposition come back in defence & hence we don't create those scoring moments.

As a spectacle it was poetic until they scored!

Wish we could interchange the sexy football with some grit at times. That would really do the opposition heads in!
