wow... who is this new striker we have signed!!??!

They look quite open if we can catch them on the break. Looks like that’s how we will have to play it.

I was just to post exactly the same. They look vulnerable to a quick counter.

Saw Brighton on Sky about a week ago, and thought they looked really good. Hard to believe that we were just about better than them not all that long ago!

They are a side on a good run watched them batter Everton

Giles ball in to Chuba for the goal was sumptuous

Yeah, I thought Brighton looked decent in their home PL match against Arsenal, but they got picked off.

Wow - we created and took that goal really well. So we can still do the business if they'll only let us have the ball!

We are going to have to ride our luck a bit and take our chances, which we will get.

This is going to tell Carrick and the management team a lot about how and where we need to improve if we have ambitions of promotion and how we will cope against better teams.

b***ks 1-2

They are clinical

They are clinical

Poor defending

 

[Yearbyred]

Far too easy - take 2.

Mitoma, a real handful.

 

[Laughing]

We have to do better than that. Nothing clever about that goal at all.

 

[gravy173]

Tommy smith asleep at the back post

 

[morrissey]

McNair marking precisely nothing there...

 

[Glover_elbow]

Surely the guy who tapped it in from a yard was offside

 

[ThePrisoner]

To have one opposition striker unmarked on the goal line may be unfortunate, but to have two opposition strikers unmarked on the goal line sounds like carelessness.

 

[Laughing]

He was probably behind the ball when it was headed by miktomah

 

[NormanbyRed77]

Play the right ball over the top at the right time we will get in 1 of these times they are wide open
