[Nick]

Grimes and onyeka bossed it
Simms did very well
Emc had that 20 minute spell where they couldn't touch him
Everybody just steady really, could have conceded 3 but we didn't.

[Shannerz]

First half EMC was superb.

Grimes MoM. Onyeka, Simms, Dasilva very good.

Rushworth had been shaky in the first half, but what a save that was at the end.

England’s Number 6!

 

[clint van damme]

Several players struggled first 15-20, but after that we bossed it and it was,a pretty routine win.

Just can't see anyway we blow this now. Our rivals aren't consistent enough and we just dont look like dropping too many points.

Could also have scored 6 but didn’t ….

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I thought Grimes was brilliant today.
No one played badly really and we managed the game well.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Grimes 9, Onyeka 9 but together they're 20.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

EMC was immense, Simms also. Tough to choose between them for MOTM.

Yeah would agree with that. Shame Simms didn’t get a goal-his chance was easier than he made it look-a confident player hits the onion bag.

Maybe that was harsh. Just noticed him give the ball away twice, leading to a break away. The one led to the Vipotnik golden chance.

 

[bawtryneal]

Bidwell had a poor 15 minutes
His legs have gone
Will get a two year contract for a league one team next year
Shame as a good guy but all good things come to an end.

I thought he looked very leggy also

 

[stupot07]

He's never been good when coming on as sub for 10-15 mins, even in his early prime with us. He did make one brilliant block. He gave the ball away a couple of times but then he was playing with Markelo ahead of him who he's probably never played with as a LB/LW combination, they didnt look on the same wavelength.

Bidwell also an easy pass to Markelo who would have been one-on-one with the fullback and into the penalty area but he passed it straight to their fullback.

 

[skyblue_55]

A nice touch from Frank , to give yet another Swansea old boy 15 minutes.
It seemed like he was rusty , but just great for him to get on , as his Skyblue career is coming to an end .
Thanks Bidders

 

[Seymour_East]

Simms 6.5, needs to sort out positioning and getting in front of his man for a change. I thought Markelo looked bright, especially with that first time cross. Grimes and The Tank just immense in midfield, EMC lively, Tats even when quiet continues to work hard. Woodwork a 10, outstanding defending.

This is mental. I thought Simms was fantastic. Gave their CBs hell, chased everything. Performance that deserved a goal.

Well that saves me saying pretty much exactly the same.
Rushworth a little more cocky/scary? than usual but made the big save when he had to.

Completely agree… that first time touch he did in the 2nd half was class.

Hes got another year on his contract here.
Its not set in stone that hes on his way at the end of the season.
If no one else takes him, he can sit on his arse for 12 months (like he has for the last 12 months tbf)

Ideally him and Brau will go and we will bring in another LWB.

Why mental? I was pointing out his continuous poor positioning in front of goal, I never mentioned he did not work hard or did not deserve a goal. FFS Tats should get a 10 every week if that’s your only criteria. Look back at games when some excellent crosses come in and where he is, does not come across his defender. Poor basic forward playing!

Yes such terrible forward play never in the right place…

 

[Offhegoes]

sy pass to Markelo who would have been one-on-o

Completely agree… that first time touch he did in the 2nd half was class.

Simms was excellent against Preston too. He's really impressed me this season, with his work rate. Starting to look like that big No 9 striker we have all wanted. He's been great coming into games off the bench too. His 2 big chances today, got them both on target, should of scored, but on anther day Keeper doesn't save one of those. + Against Southampton, that Haji header at 0-1. Simms would have scored that.
