Match Thread Brighton HA v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll.

[Tipp blue]

I think to sign for Everton in the medical you must have to prove you are made of glass!!

Only signing players who fail their medical.

I agree, and the most frustrating thing is that these are menna be our leaders. Our top performers.

I cannot see a single positive from this match.

Missing the players that were out it was always going to be a struggle.
We had a centre back playing centre field and a right back playing right wing.
Glyfi playing left wing a position which he is singularly unsuited for.

In spite of that mess we managed to remain compact but not creative.

We are not wonderfully creative at our very best so tonight was always a struggle.

We all know that we need some quality players in the summer and hopefully that will happen.

What I take from tonight is that we have a manager that can scrape points out of dire situations.

What different did people who saw the team and bench this evening expect?

One thing I noticed with Broadhead, he ran into space which opened up Iwobi at the end. That's what's missing right now

His Father played up front for Bangor City for many years

Have to wonder what goes on in training, i have visions that Holgate just goes around smashing into everyone.

Did we have a single shot on target?

Apparently we did..I don't remember it. I reckon siggys volley was on target but it didn't get into the penalty area before it was blocked so doubt it counts

glad i was not the only one that couldnt remember a shot on target when i seen that 1

James was pretty much the only player we had who sprinted at several points in the second half.

Iwobi - man, I've never seen a more useless cameo. Jesus Christ. He runs like he's crapped himself.

It was James' flick from that impossible angle, which Sanchez saved. It was going in.

Must have been a block shot somewhere. Or maybe something happened on a corner. I think we had one

That must have been when dazn shut down. Missed pretty much the whole first half and some of second fortunately

 

[Gaffa]

Palace game hurt us. Win that and a point tonight would have been and felt much more. Must win Friday now simple as it’s a cup final

 

[Groucho]

Yeah it was crap but we’ve got no players fit.

We’ve a full team out injured.

Ah fair enough.

Yeah it was the one half-decent move we managed until the Iwobi chance.

Coleman nice cross into James who made a great run, took it down on the run brilliantly, got past the defender but could only flick it right-footed from pretty much the byline. Was going in but keeper stuck out a glove.
