Love it

Deffo a Pen for us 1st half, Frank is fuming!

deffo red for Jay. Stupid but he has credit in the bank. Hope he enjoys his Xmas break and comes back with fire in his belly

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I do feel that this result makes up for PNE away. Generally a 10 man team will lose.

Reminded me of us playing basically the entire game at Luton with 10 men after Dasilva was also sent off.

Lampard experiencing massive headloss and giving fist pumps to the Southampton home end to the tune of Last Christmas before running over to the away end was simply incredible, I’m absolutely euphoric right now.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Is JDS suspended for 1 game or 3?

3 games

 

[covcity4life]

JDS deserves a massive amount of credit for how he’s played since Frank took over.

He also deserves a lot of criticism for his stupidity today.

That is exactly how it should be.

JDS should (and I suspect will) apologise, it will be forgotten and we’ll all move on.

What needs to be said other than bad challenge?

It snot like it was pre meditated. Not like he does it every week. Not like it was petulant or poor positioning

He just mistimed it. Bad challenge and deserved red

Now we move on

Tremendous Christmas ruckus

Thankfully we didn't have a Binks/Collins moment at the end.

Cracking result considering we were down to 10 men, thought Latin and the Woolf was good, especially Lati who hasn't played a game this season, Brau looked tidy when he came on, loved Frank and Joe at the end , their passion is brilliant, feels like a poignant point came end of the season

 

[sc1940]

Well, we have more strength in depth than some of us realised

 

[shmmeee]

All tactical. Load of Southampton players wrestling with our biological warfare.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

This weekend last year we got tonked at Portsmouth with one of the most abject performances in recent years.

The difference one year on is incredible. What fight shown from the team and manager.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Jake Bidwell.

The terminator lol

 

[TomRad85]

Jake Bidwell.

I love Frank so much.

 

[skyblueiom]

That’s a fucking great interview, I love this club

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Thankfully we didn't have a Binks/Collins moment at the end.

Nerves were shot at the end mate. If that had happened again…

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Things like this fire up and motivate the squad more than winning 1-0 than coming with the 3 points.

It shows to the squad and the fans how together the squad is.

They will be absolutely full of adrenaline on that bus back

 

[covcity4life]

Joe Edwards should be in the NFL

 

[Para1140]

Mardy fckers trying to give it the biggun at the coaches as well

 

[skybluecb]

So proud of everyone today, we got stuck in and showed grit and determination. This is our year isn't it.

Exactly this.

Getting upset at people who are pissed off that he got sent off and caused us a lot of issues is just silly. We'll all move on from it obviously, and he has done really well for us generally.

Like I said earlier, the backs to the wall job in the second half will be really good for team spirit. I loved seeing them all so fired up at the end.

 

[Sick Boy]

Lampard will always be a sky blue legend.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Doesn't EMC score some lovely goals?

 

[quinn1971]

didn’t think you could like lampard anymore, just says everything you want to hear, and good job it’s him that picks the team and. not some on here, he’s improved everyone so not surprised lati put in a performance like that, next 2 at home, show that fight and it’s 6 points

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Is it bad that we've just gone away to a parachute team, with our 3rd and 4th choice CB, and 10 men for a half and I'm a tiny bit disappointed we haven't got all 3 points

Insane

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Lampard will always be a sky blue legend.

It amazes me everyweek how passionate and into the role he is.

It's hard not to be impressed byhim.

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

Not sure what triggered Lampard’s reaction at the end, any idea? Disagreed with some of the praise on here - winding up the Saints players and running off and relying on his coaching staff and players to step in makes Frank look like a bottle job.

Lati had an excellent game considering the little amount of game time he’s had.

Did I hear a new song from the away end - this song is about you? Our fans sounded brilliant away from home again, let’s hope the home atmosphere on Boxing Day carries it on!

Was just chatting to a fellow Cov fan who is such a big Lampard sceptic ( I was too at the start). He's saying if we lose to Ipswich it's play offs only . I thought I was a pessimist lol.

 

[nicksar]

Thoroughly deserved point,and great performances from the players that came in to the side plus the subs who all played really well.
Loved Frank's passion after the game...top bloke.

 

[Gint11]

Just watched his post match and I agreed 100%

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Exactly this.

Like I said earlier, the backs to the wall job in the second half will be really good for team spirit. I loved seeing them all so fired up at the end.

He had succeeded in doing something similar a few times in the first half and backed himself to do it again. He was wrong.

Made a mistake, he has credit in the bank this season.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Same people laying into jds with insults prob sent messages to England players who missed penalties in shootout

Grown adults using emotion as an excuse

In fact I thought JDS looked really angry just before the tackle! I think he has been wound up

 

[Cally Fedora]

Be good to see Brau get a few games now.

Agreed, I'dhave been more impressed if he had swung a right hook at the player and not been on the touchline for the next 3
