WEBMASTERS REPORT: BRIGHTON 1-0 ROTHERHAM

 

We have this report from the game:

 

It is about time we got another win, and today everyone's confidence was high to take three points, despite Rotherham's earlier unexpected win against Leeds on Monday night.

 

It took until the 82nd minute of the game to get a goal, however the team were definitely on top throughout. Leon Knight also played well, after being taken off last week, and almost got a goal. Claridge was also spot on, and worked hard to keep his place in the game. McGhee could have a difficult decision next week when Virgo returns, however he needs to make a decision that will help us move away from the lucky one-nil wins, and be able to confidently score against other teams in the division.

 

McGhee was delighted however that we got the win, and now says that we only need another nine wins to stay in this division. We are now five points clear of the relegation zone.

 

Rotherham did have a chance to even the scoreline in the closing stages of the game, however came away with nothing. They stay bottom of the league with only 11 points from 22 games!

 

 

 

 

Managers Reactions (Brighton):

"It was an important three points. We were desperate for any win for the fans who braved the conditions at this monster of a stadium.

"Rotherham complimented us by matching us up. They made it difficult for us by working hard. But we kept probing and eventually got the breakthrough.

"At this stage I'm not interested in the third-to-bottom club, but it's important to get the win to maintain the gap between."

Managers Reactions (Rotherham):

"What did for us was switching off from set-plays. The free-kick from which Brighton scored should not have been awarded, but we still had time to defend it.

"Unfortunately we didn't make the right decisions in the right areas and that's why we are bottom of the table. We were guilty of schoolboy defending.

"Both sides seemed to cancel each other out and, for me, it was a certain 0-0.

"I couldn't see Brighton scoring, and as it turned out dozing off from a set-play proved our undoing."
