Match Thread Brighton 0-1 Everton. Sat January 25th. 3pm

[JobForTheMoyes]

So we are beating teams we should be beating? It's been a long time coming.

I agree with you to some extent regarding Dyche. He did well for us when we were on our knees. And I think he would have got us over the line this season (just). But the football was F'in awful. Moyes is a step up. Not a huge step up, but enough that I can enjoy our football a bit more now.

I’d say he is a massive step up.

Didn't watch any of today's game so consider myself a jinx.

Think I'm going to knock going to Leicester on the head and not watch that either.

Massive result. Beat Leicester and I think that's us all but safe.

Agreed. Which would be some bloody effort after just 4 games of Moyes' tenure.

Game at a time anyway. I don't suddenly think we're the bees knees but if nothing else we must have so much more confidence going into that.

I’d say he is a massive step up.

We shall see. Easy to get a bit excited after a couple of wins. I hope he is too.

Any idea what the handbags at the end was about btw?

Think Pickford was on the wind up from what I saw

Hilarious stuff

looks a lot better nowView attachment 292130

One win in 10 don't look so bad with another couple of wins added

 

[davek]

Something to do with O'Brien. Tarkowski drags two Brighton players away.

 

[GT77]

Not sure what happened to make them so angry at the end of the game, did O'Brien tell them that Bristol has a better selection of board-game cafe's and independent cinemas and they just saw red?

 

[JammyP]

Controversially went for Pickford but Gueye was the boss out there.

Decent pen from big N

Patto sound too.

Doesn't half help the quality of the weekend ahead

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Is right mate thanks.

The O'Brien situation is making Dyche look daft right now.

Supposedly he wasn’t ready according to Dyche.

After a couple of wins ?? , how many times have we had back to backs recently?? We are back baby !!!

Wild appointment in a relegation battle that. Hasn’t done a full season in a top league in over a decade (possibly ever, depending on your view of the Portuguese league)

Exactly. Which is why he would've been a wild appointment for us in a relegation battle a few years ago. And the literal only big 4 league club he ever managed on that most, he got relegated! Then followed it up by winning in China, then never lasting for very long in charge of absolute power clubs in their leagues, and going to the middle east. Honestly a very shocking appointment in context, and their only actual hope of staying with them is Leicester and Ipswich being even worse.

I'm voting Pickford as he really, really wound up the Brighton fans all game long

 

[fandjango]

We shall see. Easy to get a bit excited after a couple of wins. I hope he is too.

It’s a great two wins and a draw after the defensive dross of the Dych ball
Not sure what you want

He does boil piss.

I love him for it.

Moyes got us 4th with these stuck in one goal wins. Glad he's getting it out of them so far.

Can any of my more prem rules educated fans let me know why we weren't able to make a sub for Mangala being injured when it's a 5 sub rule now? I know we couldn't just want to know why?

Also, why were Brighton kicking off at the end? They had nothing to argue about.

you only get 3 chances to make up to 5 subs.
we used our 3 to make 4
