Proud Poyet praises his matchwinners
6:18pm Saturday 11th February 2012 in Sport By Brian Owen
Alan Navarro watches his shot hit the back of the net
Gus Poyet praised his side's character – and their supersubs - after seeing them grab a late 2-1 win at Leeds today.
The Seagulls saw Craig Mackail-Smith's first goal since November quickly cancelled out by Luciano Becchio.
But Alan Navarro secured the points with a shot from the edge of the box in added time.
Mackail-Smith ended his goal drought shortly after coming off the bench.
Fellow second-half sub Vicente set it up with a super corner and was also involved in the build-up to Navarro's winner.
Boss Poyet said: “I needed to change the dynamics with Macca. I needed to find a solution and I had to make a hard decision not to play him.
“I'm so pleased he was the one who went on and scored.
“They have got quality players. They have got Snodgrass, Becchio, players who, at any time even if you are defending at your best, can score.
“But I think we were terrific after they scored. Any other team here at Leeds, especially defending that goal (at the Kop end), maybe would go down and lose the game.
“But we kept passing and kept believing and I thought today, as well as Macca, the difference was made by Vicente.
“The delivery, the passing, the ability to find spaces, to make us play calm and to make us win the game. We need him 90-minute fit.”
Poyet said Will Buckley was taken off at half-time as “nothing important but a precaution” and admitted his side, showing four changes, took time to settle.
He was thrilled for Navarro, who scored his first goal for the club.
The boss said: “I thought he had never scored before. He tells me he scored for MK Dons against Oldham.
“That's a long time ago. It's his first goal for me as a manager and he deserved it because he had a great game.”

Then we can go and enjoy ourselves at Anfield - a great day out for an amazing 6000 fans. I never thought we would sell that many for a Sunday teatime kick off a long way from home but I didn't count on such brilliant supporters.

Thought we were always threatening ...just last touch missing in first half. Two well-matched teams, but our subs bench, and Gus's use of it, was the difference. Quality touches from Vicente and Reyes a joy to behold! Great team effort.
With Liverpool in the doghouse tonight, we should feel very positive about the big Anfield day out!

No repetition of the September distractions. Concentrate on 3 points versus Millwall. LFC game is a bonus & a great occasion for the ascending Albion.

Automatic promotion is going to be more difficult than ever, and the lottery of the play-offs might again seem the most likely route.
Much of the hard work this season has been done, generally in difficult circumstances, so not going for it would seem to be unthinkable.
In 2010, a leading accountancy group calculated that reaching the top flight is worth around £90 million to Championship teams, even if they go straight back down.
A revenue increase of £40 million can be expected from the first season in the Prem', comprising of television broadcast revenue, and also higher gate receipts and commercial revenue.
If we go up and make an immediate return, we will be one of the clubs benefitting from the new parachute payments.
Personally, I favour the promotion scenario this season, even at the risk of becoming a yo-yo club.
Consolidation is for the Premiership, not the Championship.

The only downside today was reading a typically honest Gus interview in the Yorkshire Post saying how he would love to manage Leeds but the time just isn't right. It reads like a come and get me, and although I have become used to Gus not always being quite as clear as he thinks he is being, I hope that Ken Bates doesn't read too much into it.

If we remain in the the Championship for another season, which isn't out of the question, we will be competing with three relegated clubs who will receive parachute payments of £48 million pounds over four seasons.

Gus will give us a season or two before moving on to one of the big ones, Chelsea Tottenham or Arsenal. It would be unrealistic to suppose otherwise no matter how successful we are, we shall remain outside that elite. We shall never have an international fan base like them.

Lots of positives from the game - LUFC only got behind the new full backs once - and they both went forward well. Vokes OK, but needs someone sharper than AB to feed off him. The Dagger's touches. Wingers' work. Spirit (weathered Leeds comeback and goal to only finish the much stronger - Greer marshalled well). Nav's first and timely goal.
LUFC's only real threats (and goal) came from 3 crosses that we didn't beat them to, one giving the goal.
Good solid workmanlike display against a Leeds team made to look pretty uninspiring. A great grey day in Yorkshire, despite awful beer at the ground.

It really annoys me when people think they are better than poyet, particularly in our losing streaks. So pleased for the team who are all giving their best and really forming the best brighton team ive seen. Great times for the club.

Everyone seems to want an English manager this time.
The leading candidates:-
Harry Redknapp.
Roy Hodgson - The nightmare scenario. Imagine how busy The Samaritans would be if he replicated his time at Liverpool F.C.
Fortunately he hasn't thrown his hat into the ring.
Neither has realistic candidate Alan Pardew.
Martin Oneil, (o.k. Northern Irish), my personal favourite, has also ruled himself out.
Stuart Pierce - o.k. as caretaker.
Sam Allardyce - Last September insisted he 'would walk over burning coals', to take over from Fabio Capello when the Italian steps down after Euro 2012.
If he succeeds in getting the Hammers promoted, he could be interested, and would have that on his C.V. He has a reputation for grinding out points with no-nonsense football.
Points is something we will need in Euro 2012.
I'm not suggesting for a moment that B&HA resort to Big Sam's methods.
Club football has become more inportant than the national game, as evidenced by the absence of a queue for the job.
If you give me a choice of promotion for Brighton, or England to win Euro 2012, It's Brighton, without hesitation.
I wouldn't mind betting that those managers who have been linked with the England job would also choose success for their club.

So if you don't have another card B&HA don't want to no you even after supporting them for over 40 years.
Must loose money somehow with Maestro and unfortunate that seems to rule football at all levels nowdays.
You should send them an email of complaint / frustration. Send them a cheque of somehting?

The best thing to do namgo47, is sign up for the seagulls player, works out 10p a day.

I think a main point to take into consideration today is the game changing influence of vicente. 3 assists off the bench in 2 games is a phenomenal contribution. It really shows all those idiots who comment on the argus slagging off vicente and poyets decisions that you should never doubt a player just because they are injured or question such a phenomenal managers decision. It really annoys me when people think they are better than poyet, particularly in our losing streaks. So pleased for the team who are all giving their best and really forming the best brighton team ive seen. Great times for the club.
It is clear that the wonderful Vicente needed a bit if a prod from this page a couple of weeks ago to get himself going. It worked! unlike anything else has for 5 months, let's hope it continues

Big Sam for England.
An English manager playing English football.
Nationally our footballing traditions are being eroded, and before you know it we'll be playing like Spain.
He could start this week and although he has stated otherwise, he would surely consider it if offered the job.

If we suddenly start to resemble Spain, I could live with that.
Also it isn't Big Sam's fault if he is the best available English candidate. (Some arm twisting might be required).
Everyone seems to be taller these days, Keefy, and you are right, it is exciting times!

anything is possible wrote:Tony Bloom won't be fazed by the megabucks available if we go up.
I'm convinced one of the major reasons for our resurgence is Tony Bloom as well as Gus. How many clubs have a true genuine life long supporter who is passionate about his club, AND most importantly doesn't start sticking his nose into playing matters and thinking he knows more than the manager and speaking to the media every five minutes. In addition a very stute businessman. I don't believe we will never have a worldwide fan base. All it needs is to get someone to go to the Far East and start opening some Seagull Shop franchises. Get the name out there, do some serious PR with schools, underpriveldged kids, give away playing kits, it's all about putting the energy of BHA out into the greater world. From little acorns great oak tress grow. With everyone believing - ANYTHING is possible. Man Utd was once a little railway club remember. You need a passionate Board, a passionate manager who is committed to the club with out wandering eyes for 'bigger clubs' and EVERYONE pulling together. Board, Staff, players, media, council etc etc. Everything is just energy and therefore anything is possible. I remember the Argus photo of Alan Mullery's office with the picture of the flying seagull on the wall. The inscription read 'WE CAN BECAUSE WE THINK WE CAN' and WE DID!!Stop all this nonsense about too soon to go up. Trust me it's NEVER to soon. Opportunties have to be seized in the moment. Don't let FEAR consume you. This is my 58th year of supporting the club and I sense something really big is developing. Well done to everyone!
Your enthusiasm is infectious!

Must be so hard for a striker to have to play in a role that positively hampers his natural inclinations to score goals yet he hasn't complained and has done a great job in that role. I only hope that he sees the positive comments on here to know that many people appreciate what he does do.
Barnes is a trooper, he lives and breaths Brighton. Such a hard worker all over the pitch and on even the goaline!

It is inevitable that if you are bothering to post something then you will tend to have a more extreme viewpoint either way. I am personally very very happy with the season - I was happy enough before the recent run of form, but I think we'll all agree, this has made a real difference and given all Albion fans an extra spring in our step. Anyone who saw us meekly turned over at Coventry on New Year's Eve would have never predicted the run of form we've gone on in January and now in to February - quite incredible, and Gus and the players take so much credit from that. Obviously the return to fitness of some players helped, but others have stepped up and players like Brezovan have come in and done a fantastic job. I do, however, get a bit fed up of this stock response that comes out on these boards that you cannot say anything even remotely negative without being reminded of the Withdean years. It is incredible how far the club has come, that is not in doubt. Do I see what some of you see in Barnes? No. Does that mean I no better than Poyet or want to go back to Withdean? No.
