I don't think AA has been a poor signing. He's still adapting and deserves time. But he's clearly not up the Ings standard. But we knew that already. We've got more players to cover things than last year but overall the quality is still lower I think.

Well, might as well forfeit the rest of the season 🙂

That's true. It'll be refreshing not to have the usual hanging on waiting for the inevitable. We'll be out of sight by HT unless Ralph changes things at the back. Nobody seems to know what they should be doing.

He had something extra last season. Quality, confidence. Whatever it was, it has gone now and he's back to normal sadly.

Probably not worth the pain to be honest.

Unmarked, just allowed to head in. Everyone ball watching.

Well, that's that then. Can't see us coming back from 2. Going to get worse as their confidence is high...

I think that's what so frustrating with us recently. The goals scored against aren't even good or hard to score. Just mistakes and poor defending. We need a new defensive coach...

Long time to go yet. But you have to fear the worst if they get two.

Well, that ws pretty easy. Just run through, no marking and bang. They do actually have some high quality players when they put their mind to it.

Good solid first touches there. Very weak.

Still, if you compare our transfer budget to most of the other teams.

We all knew it was coming. Totally thrown away again.

You have to wonder what kind of message gets put out on the pitch when they went down to 10.

Totally lost our heads. 1-1.

I thought it was a poor tackle. Didn't get the ball? Need another replay.

We always lose our heads in situations like this. Just keep the ball down and keep it simple. Instead we look like the team with 10 men.

Eh? Necessary yellow I'd say. Or Brighton could have taken it early and we'd have been outnumbered. Yellow was a bit harsh I thought considering he was throwing it back to where the freekick was being taken.

We play some really nice football. But the fact we've failed to score another goal leaves you fearing the worst. Whew, that was close, nearly 1-1.

Mistake by Brighton. Composed finish from Broja! He is a bit rough around the edges but a real handful for defenders and a natural goalscorer.

Yes, VAR seems to be missing this season. Surely that was worth a review.

Some excellent play all round.

Horrible game. Just waiting for the inevitable.

Clearly not a foul. Got the ball.

Too easy. One guy beats everyone.
