Another wonderful winner from Wilson, what a season he's having? Get that contract signed!
Replies
Wilson confidence on cloud 9 but luck was on our side today! Brighton will be wondering how they didn’t win this game.

How often have we been the better side and lost, so it makes a nice change to get an undeserved late winner. We have no pressure on us for the rest of the season, so win, lose or draw, we can sit back and enjoy whats put in front of us. Our big concern now, is holding on to Marco, as a lot of radio and newspapers are almost saying that he is off, as our club is now, not big enough for him, and he will probably be going to Spurs, Manchester United, or maybe even Liverpool. Who knows who we might get to take his place, but with this squad a decent and experienced manager, might even push us on. No doubt Marco will take Wilson with him, but who knows, this might be the season of his life, and he might on the way down, once this seasons magic wears off.

Agree with you JohnC.
We had luck on our side.......and Harry.
(Open up the cheque book and fight to keep him at Fulham)

They played well in the first half we played better than them by a mile in the second half and fully deserved to win, When you have a player like Wilson you was have a chance in any situation. Mitro had the same effect won games for us when the other side seems better. The team that wins is always the better team as you have scored mote goals than the opposing.

Lol, if i was Marco and thinking of leaving i would want to take more than Harry out of this team. How about Chukweze also? Honestly, i don't think we are in any danger of Marco jumping ship anytime soon because we have more than half a decent team. Yes, they might sack Thomas Frank at Spurs but can you see Marco salivating for that job? Smith Rowe is class when he puts his game together and we have a young Muniz who is the next best thing to slice bread apparently.(ask Leeds). We have our 3 African players back now and there is more competition for places which means Kevin will have to step up. Any player coming in this January will have to be decent and we might have to bolster our attack which will mean we will have Jimenez, Muniz, Jonah, and whoever which will be plenty, can we afford to keep all? Maybe another special person in midfield offense but apart form that we are good to go. Top 6! And Marco would be stupid to go to whoever.

Both Harry and Marco must know they are valued so if it takes extra noughts on their prices do it.

Both below par first half think we improved with subs silva persevering with Kevin hope to think he will settle robbo of the pace the maestro would be impressed with Wilson’s left leg like a wand at the moment is he out of contract if so he will be gone in summer we won’ be able to afford him

Would like to say, that point blanker of a save form Leno from that Welbeck header was a Gordan Banksey and a world-class save that kept us in it. Leno is truly a number one keeper. Outstanding save and i am still amazed at how he got that one up over the bar.

I am getting sick and tired of the Leno knockers, as ever since he has been with us,he has been Mr consistent, of course he has made mistakes, but you tell me, a Premier League keeper, that doesn't. Yesterday for example he made a couple of stunning saves, which kept us in the game, and probably he makes one or two great stops in every match. I'm so pleased he is our keeper, and long may it continue.

In the first half despite all the Brighton attacks their only shot on target was the goal our defence and keeper played brilliantly. People forget how good our defence is.

Brighton were not the better team. Had patches where we looked a little unsettled but overall we had the better quality. However we do need a stronger no9. No disrespect to Jime but his flicks and challenges with centre defenders not quite strong enough. Deserved the victory.

Brighton had more possession, shots , shots on target , say no more .

Do not be so obsessed with stats, know matter how many shots they had our brilliant defence only conceded one goal and we scored two in reply. We won 2-1 is the only stat that matters.

What about the shot saved by Leno with his leg and another one headed out off the line by Castagne. Don't they count?

Not obsessed just stating facts.
