At least we will only be -1 points now

Annoyed there. That’s two points dropped.

When city and Brighton play it must be a hoot of a game

[Nobby Nobbs]

Horrible game bored the pants of me.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

No one played really well but Mykolenko didnt do much wrong, neither did Tarkowski. But Myko's goal tipped it for me.

He was beyond awful in possession.

Frustrated but happy would have taken 4 points from the two games before if you asked me. Still need add depth to this team but a positive for me even with the late goal tbis team have more of a fight and mentality.

….if he had better options, Gueye & Young might not have started.

What changes would you have made?

I wouldn't have started Young ( but we disagree on that).

Midfield we genuinely have no options.
Harrison was poor in possession but offers something defensively.

I think that I'd have been tempted to bring Beto on for McNeil , play him behind DCL , drop Doucoure deeper and be even more physical.

I'd definitely have subbed Young who at 38 can't last more than 75 minutes for Patterson.

However I acknowledge that the squad is paper thin.

In addition Dyches tactics of conceding possession adds to the physical toll on the players.

Would have taken the point before the game but gutted we didn’t take all three

We’re picking up points which is positive

 

[Armaghtoffee]

It was very boring just seeing brighton switch the play 90 times in 5 minutes

Ian Snodin made that point today as well. They had all the ball but really didn’t trouble us until a lucky goal.

 

[Somerset Blue]

Was a good point all things considered, move on to next week and another away win please.

 

[steele]

The Brighton goal was a freak one and can't blame Young for it. Maybe Pickford could have reacted a bit quicker. Good performance, solid shape through the game.

Imagine if our wingers produced some attacking output.

Doing pretty well considering Mcneil and Harrison have both been poor in attack recently.

Would be a sub i would make most games out wide bringing two winger on with fresh legs to run at the fb. Dont think he rates danjuma and dobbin is not ready so can see us looking for more. Still think we need to bring in another rm in jan

 

[varnish]

Neither team deserved to win that so fair result then I guess. One more point towards safety.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Onana was a big loss today. His powerful running and telescopic links would have meant more turnovers and opportunities to break.
