He will not be sacked.

For me there is a case for Cucurella to be given a red for his rection to a slight hair pull. To go down like he's been shot by the Jackall was a disgrace and does the game no favours. Time it was stamped out. It was a complete over reaction and he should have been punished for it.

Because it happens so often.

In patches we played some good football. However, the charity that is presided over by Russell gifted them two goals and then his hero Captain Jack kicked him in the nuts by getting sent off for something as stupid and ridiculous as hair pulling like a fucking girl. Madness at any level.

Well done Captain Jack you complete and utter idiot. Should never be captain again.

Russ FUCKING ball!!!! Why!!!!!!

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

Tonight is Russell's chance to demonstrate what a brilliant coach he is by masterminding a victory with a much weakened team 🙂

Been regularly assured on here that Russell doesn't pick his mates.

You must have an on/off switch surely?

Not sure how Wood gets in ahead of Edwards other than he's another of Russell's mates from a previous club.

Probably not for 90 minutes especially when we go 2 nil up 🙂

Wood to be sent off for continually grappling with Jackson.

Tell this to Brighton and Bournemouth - or does it only apply to us?

Out of those available (and don't include ABK) who would you select?

So there were multiple correct outcomes then?

Man Utd 3-0 up and even Rashford has scored two goals - amazing what a new manager can do 🙂

Maybe time to try the one that most successful teams use then - or is that too obvious or not left field enough for clever Russell who is determined to prove he can reinvent football for clubs outside the top ten - not working is it?

Would have liked to see him in a double pivot with Downes as I think we'd have seen the best of him. Unfortunately RM is not one to try different formations and I don't think he's ever experimented with 4-2-3-1 which the vast majority of the best teams play. Russell knows better I guess.

Not sure it matters - VAR would have checked and should have made the same decision as we suffered on Friday. Webb really needs to be looking at these inconsistencies and doing something about them.

Seems likely we'll be all but relegated by late Jan so if big offers come in from clubs desperate to steal these two away SR might decide to sell.

Many like me are angry that Arsenal score against us with an offside player clearly impacting on Ramsdale's decision making and it is given yet ours is ruled out for something similar. Different rules for different teams seems to be at play.

Also, they kicked Tyler from pillar to post but he always tried to stay on his feet unlike their players. Same old Brighton for me.

Maybe but I think Brighton have plenty of players who throw themselves down holding their face at the first opportunity - the foreigners mainly and they were doing it at every opportunity last night. Downes was robust but did nothing major to warrant a second yellow card.
