Some of you are just like this guy, gets visibly annoyed when we go 3-0 up. These type of people will never never be happy.

Not sure about whether this fact has been tabled or not, so here goes.

We have improved significantly this season and there are a few reasons, new players, winning mentality as an implication from winning our first trophy in 40 odd years, and Declan Rice moving on.

Declan, when not charging up field from a defensive position, tended to pass sideways or backwards. This happened time and time again. It took away the quick attacking transition from defence to attack, something we are not hampered with this season.

We seem to be moving effortlessly from defence into deep attacking positions and with excellent results. Yeah, I know it’s early but I like the trend.

Yeah, let's not get too aggro over this or one of us will end up offering to have a tear up at the ground.

Pack it in you two and glow in the delight of a great win on a bank holiday weekend.

I feel there's not much to smile about in this world at this time but you've got to be happy with a smash and grab 1-3 away at Brighton so chill out and bask in it.

Remember how many points we had at this point last season and we've got even more game-changing players coming in, hopefully.

I’d look to you for guidance, but as usual, you’ve got fuck-all to say.

I know you're lost They son, what with this being a football thread, but literally my first post on this thread was literally about football.

How much of a miserable cunt do you have to be to be whining when we are literally top of the league.

I’d rather build more possession and better performances from the top of the league than the bottom.

Cloughies forest sides played in exactly the same fashion. They must have been distraught winning 2 European cups a league title and a league cup . Between 78_80 .

A fantastic win. Absolutely buzzing.

Trying to be positive about the performance, it's fucking hard. It's very, very rare you will win 3-1, and your keeper is MOTM. To do it twice in a row is pretty outrageous. We don't play football, it's hard to remember any team in top level history that has the possession stats we have, but it is what it is. We have to remain as clinical as we have been, as we won't be getting many chances in games.

Positives on players, keeper is producing absolute miracles, we look MILES better defensively with Oggy instead of the hapless Aguerd, Emerson has been outstanding and you've got to give Coufal credit, he faced the leagues form player today and did well. JWP, although slower than Noble, has huge impact on games and leads by example, Alvares looks a fantastic buy, and Bowen & Antonio look like the players of 2 years ago.

I'll get on board while we're winning. I fucking detest the style of play, and always will, we must have had the ball for about half an hour over 3 games. but I can just about stomach it if we're getting results.

It's OK when you're winning but 20% possession and losing is fuckin miserable.
