#NUFC 2-1 #BHAFC

It had been coming. The momentum had undoubtedly shifted since half-time, with Brighton stepping it up.

Absolutely brilliant passing in the build-up before Hinshelwood controls well & fires beyond Pope.

Very nervous times for #NUFC, now...

That first half is another good example of how the 451 defensive shape is the root of most of our problems. When Willock presses alongside a striker in a defensive 442 we are always better, regardless of who we play against.

My guess is Eddie will revert to 451 too early and it'll be a nervous end to the game. I hope I'm wrong!

Half-time: #NUFC 2-0 #BHAFC

Deserved half-time lead for #NUFC, even if they have profited from a keeping howler (& another almost cost them...).

Front 3, of which many (including I) were dubious about, have been excellent. Quick & direct, the antithesis of Brighton.
