Shit! 1-1
I saw it on the TV before Seagulls Player
Disappointing. We has restricted them to long shots and we lose a goal. I would have taken 1-1 after going ahead 0-1 before the start.

Chalkboard is interesting. No errors from either side. Only one dispossession. Albion have the edge but need to watch our habit of conceding free kicks (2) in dangerous positions. Reading win balls in the air much more often.

Prediction
Two surprise packages so far this season go head to head and both will be desperate to get back to winning ways.

Brighton are still top of the table despite drawing four of...
