McCleary has been non existant for the second game running.

Indeed. Resting him wouldn't be a bad thing.

[Ian Royal]

Trust me he's a oxf*rd. Given us nothing. Should have just sent off Sidwrll

We've deserved nothing. I don't need to trust you, I've got my own eyes.

[Ian Royal]

fak sake. That pass out wide had to go far sooner and far crisper. Way too easy and obvious to cut out the way it eventually went.

[Sutekh]

The worrying thing is that if we finish in the play off positions we'll have to play another team that finished in the top six.

FFS

Fukc

[Ian Royal]

Please see my earlier post about the problem with our shape when we lose it. Only without Evans deep.

[tidus_mi2]

All of their goals have come from our own attacks, how can they not have tightened it up?

[sloughroyal123]

Al Habsi's distribution is shocking

[CountryRoyal]

You know sometimes I watch us, and I'm not just surprised we're in the playoffs, I'm surprised we are in the championship.

Atrocious performance.

[Ascotexgunner]

Gunter has the turning circle of a f+cking oil tanker.....Useless.

[Kitsondinho]

Oh well.....at least we don't have to worry about anyone above 7th now......

[RoyalBlue]

Two goals gifted away by lazy, sloppy passes! Look up before you play the ball FFS!

[Emeraldroyal]

Utterly utterly outclassed.

Credit to Brighton they have performed with purpose and a maturity.
They look every bit the auto promotion chasing side they are.

I'm a bit lost for words in respect of our performance. With a few exceptions we simply haven't turned up.
No plan B and every goal came from us losing the ball in attack.
Poxy painful. I'm going to numb the pain with a bottle of Bordeaux

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Stam got this very, very wrong today

[RoyalBlue]

WTF that's got to be a red for Sidwell

Meh, last warning. Grabban still had 1 to 2 to beat.

Still a cynical challenge that probably should have got him his second yellow.

[Ian Royal]

That last goal.

Kelly was just about to make his way back into the position he'd vacated and Williams should have been covering after a run forward. Instead he turns back around to pick up the pass, Williams stays where he is and one poor pass with 8 outfield players ahead of the ball and we're clinically despatched once more.

It's basic basic stuff we're getting wrong and we deserve to have been smashed as a result.


Saying that, we're clearly still too good for most of the division. It's just the way we play our system means anyone good with a smart manager is going to punish us.

[BarrowBoyBouch]

easy routine home win for the Seagulls....They've shit all over us tonight.......

I think I'd want a Reading or neutral player to have done worse to be sent off. He could have gone certainly, but from an objective view I think the ref made the right call. It's hardly a poor decision, maybe 60/40 at worst.

[CountryRoyal]

lol if we play like this every game we won't finish in the playoffs. Brighton haven't had an easier game all season.
