Who was the co-commentator tonight? He’s an ex player I think?

Mark Albrighton on my stream.

My feed had Albrighton on it.

It could have been, I was watching TNT. Whoever it was talked a load of nonsense most the match. It’s just drivel most games from commentary teams.

Maybe it wasn’t TNT then.  Who knows nowadays with all these naughty ways of watching the footy!

Pleased with the result

Onana and Dougie surrendered the midfield. Onana is only tolerable when we are playing a defensive game against a team who has a lot of posession and set pieces.

Wish we wouldn’t play it around the back with this midfield and defence. Reminds me of th e Stevenage cup game.

Thought all the subs did well and lifted the level.

He needs to pick on merit on Saturday.

Such a shame the three players we lost since the last cup game!

The absence of Cash is just a reminder of how valuable he's been this season.

This is true, but Bogarde was very good tonight.

I thought Bogarde was good tonight too. He was terrible at RB v Salzburg so I was worried.

To use a well worn H&Vism, that Mitoma is all fart and no shit.

He did a good job defensively, but offers nothing going forward. That’s not a criticism as such, as he’s filling in. But Cash brings so much more to the team.

TBH I really thought we lacked Cash's emergy and ability to travel with the ball.  Bogarde did fine - but with him and Mings in the defense - whilst we look perfectly solid we lack lose something going forward.

Utterly dreadful performance, but hopefully gives us a mental boost.

Brighton love losing to us. Doubled them 3 times in 4 seasons I think.

I haven’t seen one minute of the game ( been at a family funeral in Scotland), I believe we were atrocious but we’re walking away with a win and 3 pts. Onwards….

Cash does give us more but we don’t know what Bogarde can do as he’s likely to be under instruction to keep possession and defensive shape. It wasn’t too long ago that Cash was getting criticised for doing the same by passing back and sideways.

A win is a win is a win.

My 3 Brighton-supporting nephews won't be happy, but I'll have none of their lip!

That feels like a massive win. About time we had a lucky win, a game nearer to McGinn & Tielemans coming back too! 5 wins should do it,sounds doable!
