    M’Voto is an excellent defender, great in the air (he’s easily 6 foot 4 at the very least), surprisingly quick and can actually pass and dribble his way out of defence. He put in a couple of great blocks in the first half and nobody in the Brighton side looked capable of getting the better of him. At only 25 years old, I can definitely see him having a couple of years in the top flight either here or in his native France based on what I saw.

    I thought he was MOM yesterday, won everything in the air, got several good blocks and tackles in and looked surprisingly calm and assured on the deck. Where on earth as he been all season?

    He played just as well at Reading and Yeovil - no idea what happened because earlier in the season he wasn't very good

    Still think some of the criticism he received was unjust. There was one particular game, dont remember who it was against, maybe Ipswich away, where he didn't put a foot wrong all game except for a couple of misplaced passes, and rather than being credited with a good performance, he was criticised for the momentary lapse.

    He doesn't look like 'a penalty waiting to happen' like he is often described. If I remember correctly, he's only given one away all season, and as for his red card, that was debatable.

    He looks comfortable, assured and now with a decent stretch in the team, he's certainly coming into his own. Wouldn't go as far as playing in the top flight any time soon, but would like to see him become a constant part of our back 4.

    Like a new signing, well done to the lad for brushing off all the ridicule and getting his head down and working hard on his game.

    And while I'm at it, Tom Kennedy. Superb performance yesterday from him too.
