Ratings & Reactions: Brighton v Villa

[Nigel]

Im pretty sure we won that game despite the attacking changes as we looked clunky up front but a win is a win and games are won in many different ways.

I thought Mcginn was great today, real meatball performance where hes just a menace.

Really good to see Konsa back to; Id actually started to take him for granted this season but he is a level above the other options we have at the back. He has a real nous to his play too, and knows how to deal with threats.

Finally hope that ref feels good booking Cash after his goal for the act of showing sympathy to someone who obviously needs it!

Solid win that’s all we needed nice to see Tim gets some mins , why was Chuckwemeka not on the bench?

Bissouma didn’t exactly increase his value today. Not that single games should make much difference in what is hopefully a thorough scouting process, but still.

McGinn was outstanding and the defensive unit looked solid.

Great strike from Cash but why he took his shirt off, I have no idea.

Great goal from Watkins; he's obviously had some coaching off Louie Barry.

The referee was poor, while Cucurella and Veltman competed for the honour of being biggest arsehole of the match.

Excellent team effort. McGinn oustanding today. Nice to see Watkins score as well. All good!

Played to our strengths, good game management also - good job Stevie G!

[Hanky]

Thought we controlled most of the second half. Good to see Watkins get on the scoresheet as well.

Was vital we pulled away from any relegation worry, this result helps massively with that. Hopefully we can start looking up the table after a poor set of results.

Should have counted the tweets saying ”madness is doing the same things and expecting different results” when the starting XI was announced.

I wish he concentrate on what happens next instead of celebrating so much.

Not like there's a war going on to get people's emotions worked up and want to show some support is there...

[CVByrne]

It wasn't the end of the world having dominated against Watford and lost the game on the counter.

It's good we won today and a clean sheet. Glad that under pressure players scored. Hopefully we can build on it at Villa Park against Southampton and Bielsa doesn't get sacked before we play Leeds

First line has to go to the ref. Hardly an angry game yet lost control to the point of booking half the players on the pitch. 

good performances from mcginn, cash Watkins mings konsa. Very poor in my opinion from luis I would have hooked him at half time. 
 

Brighton put us under very little pressure and never felt nervous at all 

[Talldarkandransome]

They Putin a good performance

A very few indeed, by the looks of the empty seats.

[avfc1982am]

I thought it no coincidence we looked better balanced and better prepared defensively today with the formation tweak. Hopefully Gerrard starts to see he needs to switch it up against teams who predominantly use width to attack. Very good performance at a tricky time. 

[turvontour]

Fantastic result. Needed that one so much.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Solid and improved. Terrible ref.
