Felt like we were slightly wasteful tonight and should have at least scored another, but I’ll take the 3 points and let’s not talk about the clean sheet…

 

---

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If we win on Saturday it will equal the club record for consecutive wins, so that is something to aim for now!

Record's 7 isn't it?

 

[Shannerz]

Not sure where 7 minutes came from in the first place.

Quite a few subs and their bloke was down injured for a while. I was expecting it.

 

[mark82]

Bitter sweet, happy we have won and remain top of the table regardless what happens tomorrow with Boro but disappointed we conceded such a late goal and haven’t kept our clean sheet run.

I should be ecstatic that we have won but conceding such a late goal is annoying. Am I asking for too much?

Yes

 

[Major Tom]

Now we’re at being frustrated conceding one goal in six

 

[Sick Boy]

With a little help from Rob Gurney

It got to the point that I was shouting at him to shut up haha

 

[LastGarrison]

Another away win and without Rudoni and Wright.

Momentum is such a powerful thing!

 

[RegTheDonk]

Sod the clean sheet, got the win and still top.

Well done all of you who travelled, you sounded magnificent.

 

[hill83]

Needed a clean sheet there if we are serious about this season

It was a lot more nervy than it needed to be, really.

We've got too used to smashing everyone

 

[jordan210]

Not sure there should have been 7
Mins, but Christ what a way to throw away a clean sheet.

feel alike lose

ok I’m over the clean sheet now

get in boys

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

BTA man of the match and the pass of the match Simms.

 

[Garlana86]

I've clearly been spoilt, but my glass half empty view is that we didn't get enough control in that game for my liking, I thought they were decent at retaining the ball, and we were a tad wasteful at times. A wins a win though, a place we struggle at, Asante on fire, Simms looking decent for 80 mins. Pusb.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We are so effective

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Lost his man too, he does it a lot

Apart from the fact he doesn't

 

[fernandopartridge]

That looked harder work than it was overall, our left side looked very vulnerable after Da Silva went off

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Drink it in fellas

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Simms should have scored a 3rd and we had so many opportunities to pad the win, but a win is a win. That's all I care about.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Great result at a historically difficult place for us , momentum is still ticking along nicely

 

[SkyBlue_Adam]

8 points ahead of Leicester, points deduction pending and 12 ahead of Ipswich!

 

[bigfatronssba]

Record's 7 isn't it?

Wikipedia says 6. Maybe 7 includes cup games?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Lost his man too, he does it a lot

That's not his man, he's tried to cut out a long ball and missed it. The first goal conceded in 6 games and yet you're still trying to impose your clueless view about his capability on everybody.

 

[Sick Boy]

5 points clear of 3rd now

 

[pusbccfc]

Heroic from our second team. Lampard loves it.

Shows how far we've come since we got battered here last season.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Goals : BTA 2
Assists : Simms 2
Quality deck

Typical from him

 

[Chris1987]

Difficult place to go and a very good win. BTA outstanding , Ellis very good.
Bether side by a long way.
We don't look half bad do we !

 

[jordan210]

Tha formation worked until pompy started the throw everything at us and we became quite deep

 

[HadjiChippo]

Goals : BTA 2
Assists : Simms 2
Quality deck

That second assist in particular was top quality play, bullied the defender, turned and didn’t even hesitate to put it on a plate for BTA, who isn’t missing that in this kind of form. Top goal, and came at the perfect time.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

3 points is all that matters.

Great shift. We March on,

 

[Cally Fedora]

Excellent win at a difficult place to go. I suspect we won’t play that formation against better sides. But we won and rested Wright and Sakamoto. Grimes and BTA superb.

 

[Major Tom]

Some bizarre match direction tonight. They keep cutting away while the ball is in play. Missed a long throw earlier showing a replay of BTA’s shot that hit the bar.

Even more gutted they cut away for the players celebrating

 

[TomRad85]

Great win but not sure about the formation. Led to a frantic game. Thomas-Asante was brilliant; Simms a great no. 9 performance; and what a cameo from Sakamoto!

It meant we largely bypassed the midfield, i didnt enjoy the formation really but it's got us an away win at Pompey midweek without Wright or Rudoni.
I reckon we're just really good and Lampard could create a formation from pebble dashing his toilet and it would still work.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Wright getting the full night off is an excellent bonus as well.
