I've only seen the highlights, but what a cracking set of highlights they are!

A great performance all round and showing positive intent. So, so different from the previous seasons.

Loving the new lease of life in Miggy. He really seems to have stepped up a gear over the break.

Needs to find his shooting boots. Like Murphy, Miggy seems to go shy when he's got an opportunity on goal.

On his right foot for sure.

On a certain forum his right foot comes up all the time, they seem to have a fetish for his right foot

Its the Mag.

Always liked him, even if his end pruduct is not all there.
The effort he puts in is commendable, he is a trier.

Interesting comment, I think it goes well beyond Almiron. Watching various teams, mainly but not restricted to Premiership, there seems to be a mentality of getting the ball in as close to goal as possible, often resulting in 3 defenders closing the advance down and losing possession. Goalmouths are crowded places but often a random shot (if on target) will find a way through, often with a deflection beating the keeper. It's a team game and some players are programmed to supply/assist rather than strike but I'm sometimes shouting a "have a go"...

Fabian Schar shares your opinion!

Schar delivers.

I think a lot of times they do not want to take the responsability to shoot because in their mind if they miss they will look idiotic.
Seems like they are passing the buck sometimes.

Sounds like we were lucky to get a draw today.

We were. Two goaline clearances to keep us in it. Can’t complain at that result.

Yes no doubt they were the better team and had a few good chances, we did not really create enough so more than happy with a point.

[Chicken Chaser]

Didnt think we were at the races or on par with Brighton . A few of the players looked like they had just woken up and hadnt had their first coffee of the day.

Based purely on the MOTD highlights, I'd agree. Enjoyed the Brentford game and result though

[ajap1979]

What a first half that was!

[Mannginger]

Can we stop the clock now?! Great looking first half and wonderful to see that we didn't just give up after an early goal. Going to be a tense second half!

[SydneyBridge]

What a game....
