Just lacking a little bit of sharpness at the moment presumably given the quick turnaround of games; not forgetting also that we’re playing on the South Coast so travel factors in on the tiredness too.

I would like to see us switch to a back four though and overload the midfield. Brighton only have one up top so a CB pairing should be sufficient in dealing with that, whilst we’d then have a 3v3 in the middle with the usual wide players drifting in to overload.
 
Brighton are utter poo, so obviously they'll score a few second half and take the points.

We need to click and put some chances away. After an awful December this and the Leicester games are absolute must-win games.
 
It has been tough but we have had the better chances. Agree once again with the 3 CB's against teams like Burnley and Brighton. We couldn't string aany passes together initially with some ferocious pressing from Brighton. Once that pressing subsided we came into it. It is still a battle but we have more space to play. Richarlison really needs to stay on his feet and man up. We need to work a little harder to prevent crosses coming in and to stop giving needless fouls away in our half. Not so bad so far and feel we will continue to create more chances. Just need to convert.
 
Gomes looking tired too me - 12 consecutive game after injury catching up. Just a tweek will see us take all three points here. Noticeable that their mid three have moved back about 10yrds as the half wore on.
