Brighton vs Soon-to-be top of the league as of 31st january

[TractorBoys]

We're going top tonight, discuss.

1-2


Probably not.

 

[markwwfc1992]

I think the pressure/expectation will get to you, going for a 2-1 Brighton win.

 

[Rammy]

I hope you slip up, but I don't see it.

 

[Veggie Legs]

You've jinxed it with the thread title. Like I said in the promotion chasing thread, I think it'll be a draw. 1-1.

 

[SUTSS]

I've always been a huge fan of Chris Hughton. Hopefully he repays the love he has in Norwich tonight.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

Anyone know if they have more trains back to Lewes on match days?

 

[Luke_1884]

C'mon Leon, debut goal please.

 

[ITFC-Mil]

Reckon it will be 1-1, Mick will be happy with a point

 

[Rammy]

1-0 to Brighton

Won't last.

 

[TractorBoys]

MURPHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY 1-1

 

[Rammy]

See

 

[Rammy]

2-1 Brighton

Won't last...again.

 

[TractorBoys]

2 cracking goals, possible deflection for the second... 2-1 down. Not much in the game.

I'd expect us to put them to the sword in the second half though based on what I've heard. Haven't really managed to get out of 1st gear yet.

 

[Rammy]

3-1 Brighton

 

[TractorBoys]

Crazy. We haven't even played badly by the sounds of things, just Brighton on fire.

Odd feeling at HT. We're 3-1 down and Brighton look full of goals but still feel we can punish them.

Sears for hunt at HT please Mick, throw bishop in aswell. 5th goal in this game is crucial.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Knew we wouldn't win tonight.

 

[TractorBoys]

Sears on for Anderson on 49 minutes, 4-3-3.

 

[TractorBoys]

And here comes Teddy Bishop..

Cheers Mick, what will be will be, but giving it a go.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Hate to say it but this game has all the ingredients for a classic Mick bottle job.

 

[TractorBoys]

Game's going absolutely nowhere now.

 

[TractorBoys]

OH NO IT ISN'T, FREDDIE SEARSSSSSSSSSSSS! 3-2 GAME ON.

 

[TractorBoys]

No complaints, fair play Brighton. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Bobbin']

Well, 3 crap results for us this midweek.

 

[Dazza]

Well, 3 crap results for us this midweek.

Yeah crap for us as well.We are slowly getting dragged into a relegation battle.Big game against Millwall at the New Den next Tuesday.Lose that and we will be right in it.

 

[Rammy]

Ipswich and Bournemouth both lose this week then. Need to take advantage of this next week, and get back in those automatic places!!!

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Well didn't expect that. Everyone dropping some points at the moment then.

 

[mpmbee]

Fair play Brighton for that. After watching them Saturday I didn't expect them to win this one.

 

[Rammy]

It's Tractor Boys' fault. The thread title cursed them!

 

[TractorBoys]

I'm fumin' lads.

 

[Costello]

Yeah, I dunno what happened here. Bit out of no-where, not seen us play with that sort of attacking purpose at home for quite some time. It's almost like we've been saving up all our cutting edge for that first 45 minutes of football. Teixeira inspired, O'Grady leading the line superbly (still no idea if he's staying or not), and Ince continuing to boss things in the middle.

Ipswich did seem a little off their game, compared with what I was expecting, but even then I think were just too much for them to handle at times. Score-line probably flattered them somewhat.

We needed a big win at home, against a good side such as that, and you can see the confidence returning now. If Hughton can make us tough to beat at the Amex again we should be alright for a mid-table finish. Could still do with another striker, though.
