Hope we hang on

Our subs haven't worked at all
I'm also supposed to be somewhere at 5.30 so straight out for me too.

Might need someone else to start the MOTM, ratings, etc threads

Last second corner for us

1-1 Final score.... I guess we take that away from home but Brighton were well below their strongest line up

Draw better than nothing I suppose, but poor subs and sitting back cost us the win.

Good point away - need to remember we got battered here last season. I put the result into the context of our progress as a team.

On another day we could have taken the 3 points.

Well, we've got a hard earned point on the road. So why am I so disappointed. :duno:

Got to say that was a disappointing point, we deserved so much more if only we can put those chances away. Our defence was immense until our midfield disappeared and then it became all hands to the pump. Still, undeafeated after 3 tricky opening games.

Should have had it won, but missed our chances.

Lucky to get a point in the end.

Can’t knock the point but it was a poor second half. Needed a bit of pace on to stretch tired legs

Need a clinical striker but they cost a few quid.

Nmecha had one of the best chances in the closing period of the game.

We defended well.

Just thought Bahoya’s speed could be an asset against a tiring side…give them more to think about. I’m not too upset about it, though. Nice point on the road against a very good team.

A draw, as I expected in the poll thread. Decent enough in a place that's not a happy hunting ground for us and we did have plenty enough chances to put the game away before they got back into it. And if Nmecha had only finished that opportunity at the end, it could have been a very good day for us.

Think we still have a lot of work to do, especially considering Brighton were missing some of their top players, but we look like we are going to be solidly mid table without the sweaty palms this season.

That was my rationale for Bahoya. But I can understand given his newness and lack familiarity with the squad.

I’ll take the point on the road against such a quality side.

Possibly - but Farke is big on players positional duties within phases of play.

There was no chance of him coming on. Considering how many chances we created it is a perhaps a bittersweet point.

But I prefer to put into into the context of the difference from last season.
