Lee On Solent Saint

Jackett down the road has just been sacked for a lot less than Ralph

Out thought by Graham Potter. Take a bow Ralph

Llanana has obviously been saving up this performance for this match. Hardly plays normally, but looks like he will last the 90 in this one.

We aren't going to break them down now

Another fuckin needless free kick given away

We give away far too many stupid fouls.

Not sure if Tella is giving us much threat

Is it me or are Brighton pinching an obscene amount of extra yards when taking throw ins??

I don't think any of those three will get anywhere near that total. Like a lot have said, we will be fine this season, it's next season we need to be concerned about.

George Lawrence was one of my favourite players in my early Dell days. Loved the fact that he didn't know what he was going to do next, let alone opposition players.

PEH has probably been telling him how amazing it is at Spuds

Kerry Dixon and David Speedie

That's the stark reality for at least half the teams in the league. Just being slightly better than the bottom three.

For the money spent on Gunn at the time, we certainly could have dome a lot better if we did our homework better.

We have now conceded 49 goals, only West Brom have shipped more. That's a worrying statistic

Yes,but how many of those teams faced City after they were beaten by Man Utd? There was always going to be a reaction after that game.

Not sure there is much between either of them. It seemed to me that the back four were a little more confident with Forster though

Our heaviest defeats have all involved McCarthy. Is that a theme or just a coincidence?

Salisu - What the fuck

City will tear anyone apart, but we certainly haven't helped our cause with such shit defending

Surely Stephens is playing right back?

I remember that game. Wasn't it under Hoddle?

I agree most of it has been down to luck rather than judgement. Would we still employ it as a tactic if there was no VAR?

We absolutely have to bin that high line when defending free kicks. Sheffield are quite a big side. Need to go man for man and drop a bit deeper. We can't keep riding our luck on this and hoping VAR will bale us out with marginal offsides.

Grealish makes them tick, without him very average. Think teams are so focus on stopping him, it creates opportunities for others
