Good win...now 7 points above relegation zone.
EMC showing glimpses of his previously rarely seen quality, and gets a brave goal and an excellent assist.
Collins, fair play to the lad, made a couple of excellent saves around the post.
We easily looked the best team for 90% of the game...though Hull looked awful, and you can see why they are bottom.
We saw out the game fairly comfortably after the surprise of 7 minutes of stoppage time.
Watched on sky+, and hilarious to hear the co-commentator (ex pro, Irish, Hughes?) getting our player's names wrong eg Sacramento, Van Eik, and Victor Thorpe.

EMC on the left and Wright through the middle when he comes back

Job done. Take the 3 and move on but fragilities still there. Need to stop leading the line with Basette and get Simms back playing and into form. Tbf to Collin’s, 2 good saves at 1-1.

we are such a weird side atm

 

[TomRad85]

I think it goes to show we don’t need to play both Sheaf and Eccles to have a decent midfield

Yeh think we're moving away from that thank goodness. Always found it uninspiring.

I was worried that our heads would drop after we went one down but - fair play to the lads - they carried on with determination.

I think the fans were urging them on. If we were playing at Hull and it was 0-1 or 1-1 we might have lost. That missed penalty really seemed to take a little bit of wind out of our sails. If that went in I think we would have got a 3rd or even more. Simms was unlucky with that header off the post and has to surely start the next game. Not sure what Collins has done to keep his place. Dovin deserves a chance.

The commentator at the very start seemed to think we sold Palmer to Hull for 5 million too

Just rewatching the highlights and his cross for the 2nd is what we've been missing/always having done to us.

Put 3 Hull players on their arse then delivered the perfect cross.

@Matt smith dry your tears.

 

[Paxman II]

Still not convinced with Frank at the helm. These are good players yet we are not getting the best out of them.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I’ll take not being the shortest kid in Reception but things need to be much better. Main thing is we got over the line but this was a poor advert for Championship football.

Cracking performance by EMC. Gave their RB fits all game.

That should've been a comfortable 3-0 win. But three points is three points and I can't be arsed complaining.

You haven't done a great deal wrong there, but a rather disappointing lack of effort on the complaints front. 6/10.

What's your height in reception got to do with the rest of what you wrote?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Congratulations to Collins on making his first decent save in a year

“These”. How many are you referring to?

 

[covcity4life]

It's denial at this point.

All laughing emojis to me saying it will be okay at half time . Lol don't fuck with me, while posters are emotional or drunk I am MEDITATING!

I MEDITATE mother puckersssss!!!

Not sure why the app isn't allowing gifs atm but if it did a clown gif would be in place of this post.

We played much better on Wednesday and got nothing. C’est la vie

 

[Calista]

I’m sorry but he’s total dogshit. £5m for him is the biggest robbery since Hatton Garden

Some of us have had to defend EMC from this kind of offensive bollux all season.

I notice you've changed your tune in the last hour LOL. But maybe you should ask yourself why you couldn't see his obvious attributes before, when they were staring you in the face?

 

[shmmeee]

Standard moron on CWR. “No I didn’t get to the game today”

 

[Hutch11]

You do know they were able to watch on the TV?

It was more about opinions on this forum

 

[SkyBlueAussie]

First time I've been brave enough to look at the table for a few weeks.

Because he hadn’t shown his worth at all, and if you think he had you are utterly deluded

Made a lot more than one.

Lot of positives today, still a few issues.

Would I be right to say EMC was a big part of their goal leaving Dasilva 2 on 1?

It was pretty clear to the average football fan he’d score some goals. He was close about 6 or 7 times before he got his first goal for us!

There's a little bit of cope about the fact we actually look a bit better already. People will get over it soon I hope.

Or SBT

 

[Ricketts]

Good to see Mason-Clarke be the player that I always said he was, unfortunately he couldn’t play in his best position because of the form of Haji.

Hull really are poor. I struggle to accept that Oxford are worse.

If we miss out on the playoffs on goal difference, I will be annoyed that we didn’t put them to the sword in injury. We could’ve got four more.

Yeh it's either denial or people just don't know their football.

We are clearly showing lots of positives.

 

[ms639]

Was sick today so didn’t make it, can somebody give me the words to the new EMC tune please?

Palmer screamer to win it in the 92nd minute

 

[shmmeee]

Let’s be honest if we weren’t playing some of the worst finishers I’ve seen all season we draw or lose that. Still a long way to go.
