The First 20 minutes v Blackburn

[bluenitsuj]

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

The guy 2 behind me kept spunking himself. Took ages to wash it out.

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

Well it's all a matter of opinion isn't it.




My opinion is those people criticising don't have a clue what they're talking about, but hey, that's just my opinion

Fingers crossed there was more than one of us doing that, so it's not Necessarily addressed to me.
But if it is...








...Sorry, what else can I say?

I did have a new chap next to me, yesterday, who I did have to remind where he was and what he could and couldn't scream and the top of his voice.

Agree with comments, I am in my 50th year of support and that was as good as I have seen, although the idiot who sits behind me in the 1901 club, came out with the immortal comments of 'Bridcutt you are effing useless when are you going to start playing this season' and then with the same logic when being substitued ' Buckey F off you are a effing C###' nice, lucky I have not been sitting in front of him for 50 years.

Best I have ever seen us play - hopefully we'll play more like that for the rest of the season. Usually we are really negative, which I do not find entertaining, but since Gus knows we need to win games he has decided to be more positive for the rest of the season and I am very much looking forward to the remaining games.

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

Sadly, that's the truth.

I can't believe that , I said to my dad before the game yesterday that the starting 11 tonight was the best to have started a game at the Amex yet

From 13th min to past the 18thmin Blackburn didn't have the ball under control once. they touched the ball a couple of times but not under control.

over 5 minutes of true class in 20mins of brilliance.

I loved it.

 

[Hungry Joe]

That first 20 mins or so was the best I've seen from a Brighton side in 32 and a half years of watching them, wonderful football. The rest wasn't bad either.

Words fail me and so does my brain sometimes. I dont understand how can someone say things like that with a straight face? This is why there should be snipers on the roof taking idiots like that out with silenced rounds, followed by a rather polite steward

'i am sorry sir would you mind awfully if we removed this body, he seems to have proved he was a footballing dinosaur so Tony had him killed. Sorry about the mess, please enjoy the game'.

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

And then Hoskins got stretchered off

 

[TheMajor]

Still think we need to get it into the goalmouth quicker - some fantastic inter passing played out in front of the West Stand by touchline - but opportunities to hurt Blackburn were scorned because we want to play the perfect pass.

You just had to laugh at the Blackburn goal when it came as it was the first time they had touched the ball in about 15 minutes - bloody typical.

 

[wunt be druv]

You are not wrong,it was sublime,but,once again no goals.

It really was amazing to watch.

Believe it:

This could be the nail that has had its head bashed,.... I believe the 'tinkerman' tag is appropriate here, I think he has had a good enough squad this season, and he should be applauded for attracting them into the Albion,... but... his consistent chopping and changing is not helping one bit,... I was for example, staggered to see Spanish Dave and Orlandi benched last night, it didnt seem to have any logic behind it. Make way for the dagger by all means, but why bench both of them after what I saw as a very decent performance against Hull.

Football fans (as a breed) seem to think they know more than the manager of their team. Despite the fact that the manager is an expert that has worked in football every day for decades, who on a stonking fat wage, and who works with the players in training every week, who studies the opposition, and knows whether any of his players are carrying a niggle or not 100% fit, football fans think they know more.

Of course no manager will ever be perfect. And of course we know that it was a mistake not to keep Murray, but that's with hindsight - at the time I was disappointed Murray wasn't staying, but when I found out we were getting CMS I thought it was a good swap, and one year later I was still happy with the swap, as Murray's form last season was poor. But now all these bloody experts come out saying how stupid it was to lose Murray and how poor all these other decisions were. Remind me which manager we should have instead?

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

Ha ha ha absolutely. Was amazing the first twenty and again at points in the second half. Brilliant football.
