Strange game, we've been pretty poor but are 2-0 up and should have had a pen. Eccles bar his shot has been shite, number 22 has Mason-Clark in his pocket, and Bobby Thomas keeps giving away silly possession. Two great goals by Torp, but Sakamoto by far our best player.

Very clunky start from us and Stoke looked really sharp, first 15 mins or so.

The goal settled us down

I think Grimes, Saka and Torp have all been outstanding.

 

[wingy]

We're coasting and it's worrying the hell out of me.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Having seen the replay several times it’s not as clear cut

How?

 

[mark82]

Not a red if it’s a pen. 20 yards from me the most obvious pen you’ll see.

Just said on Sky that Mike Dean had said clear penalty and red card on Soccer Saturday. I personally don't think it's a red, but that's from a referee.

Having seen the replay several times it’s absolutely stonewall, what are you smoking?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Inexplicable refereeing. Grimes coming deep for the ball I like but it does concede a lot of midfield space if the ball’s given away.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Had the penalty been given I would have wanted Torp to take it and he might have had a first half penalty.

Dearie me

He’s just being a mischievous contrarian

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

That was actually lampardesque from torp!

It's no coincidence our midfielders are getting into the penalty area and scoring goals.

 

[Tommo1993]

Stonewall. Laughable for people to deny it.

By far? I think Grimes has been brilliant.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Bit mad how Lampard and Robins can replay it on there ipads in seconds but we don't have VAR in this division

We don't want it

 

[OldBedrocker]

Would love to hearing his reasoning for it not being a penalty.

Because he’s a blind prick?

 

[Perennial Lurker]

MvE and Kitching have both been excellent too . Nobody has been "shite" at all

 

[shmmeee]

Want a third now. Not another nervy 2-1 please.

 

[David O'Day]

Stonewall. Laughable for people to deny it.

There's no world it isn't a pen

Slow start, they did a good job nullifying us & looked threatening. Getting the first goal was massive & in control from then on really.

Absolutely apoplectic at that non penalty decision, one of the most blatant you will ever see.

Eccles has, not his fault he's been asked to play in the 10, at times it looks like he's never played football before. mason-clark has also been poor.

 

[robbiekeane]

this is the problem. They need to make this part of the game where the ref gives an explanation for key decisions after the game

 

[mark82]

Yeah, nailed on penalty. Not sure it's a red though.

 

[Grendel]

No it probably was but they both go at the ball and the contact is with EMCs outstretched leg - 9 times out of 10 it’s given but it’s not a millwall or shumaker challenge

 

[jordan210]

sky have said red straight away and confirmed by who ever is their ref at soccer sat

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It’s not a red card but it’s 100% a foul

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Eccles has, not his fault he's been asked to play in the 10, at times it looks like he's never played football before.

He really hasn't , he's doing a lot of pressing and showing for the ball well . His passing hasn't always come off but him and Torp are working well together and could both be on the scoresheet

 

[RoysterE17]

More of the same, will take results over performances all day long from now till end of season!!!

 

[Sick Boy]

Already made amends with another comment saying Torp has redeemed himself.

That’s not the way on here. You should have doubled down as much as possible.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’ll be honest EMC engaged the contact so therefore doesn’t matter that the keeper came and wiped him out. Probably a foul on the keeper if anything

 

[fernandopartridge]

Gallagher on for them, he always looks better against us than he is otherwise

 

[Paul Anthony]

Hope we can kill this off early this half.

 

[mark82]

Robins making 2 half time subs. Wtf.

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

if you really believe that - please keep off any football related forum from today.

 

[mmttww]

Take Torp off, he's way off it

LOL. You gotta love a Match Thread.
