Phew. Bennett did his best to make a mess of it - shinning the ball while in the clear - but redeemed himself with the finish.

Maybe we can play with a bit of confidence and verve in the second half.

Another defender, do we actually have any forwards who know how to shoot ?

Clive Walker · Oct 25, 2014

A defender scores for Brighton.

Of 21000 in the ground how many were in their seats to see that?

We have gone so so so so far backwards in such a short space of time. Buck stops at Hyypia. Even if we do win today, I've lost a lot of faith in him.

Hyypia Out.

1-0 Hyypia in!!!!!

HT 1-0. Albion much the better side overall imo. Passing more direct than recently just mostly not able to find a finish for the moves either through lack of options/vision or just poor delivery. Colunga has made a couple of decent balls but seems mostly another who shouldn't be let near a corner.

MUCH better?

Rotherham have had the best chances IMO

Up to the heady heights of 19th!

Oxygen anyone?

The frustrating thing is that despite Sami playing such a positive formation we look so ponderous going forward, no one quite seems to know where the next pass is supposed to go and this hesitancy makes us look so predictable and easy to defend against. It needs some confidence and flair to give us that 'x' factor.

Meanwhile it is alarming just how easy it is for the opposition to create chances. They know we are vulnerable to counter attacks.

These observations would be fairly understandable at an away game - but at home?

Certainly they had two chances when they should have scored but they didn't take them. Apart from that they haven't offered much imo.

Painting over the cracks won't do, need some proper filler.

Tex and the Derry Pele might do the job.....but will ha chance them

Funny really watching the stream and seeing Bennett put it in while the crowd were still reacting/groaning at his bad control of pass in to him.

neilbard · Oct 25, 2014

Poor manager! Poor system! Players all over the gaff! But Wtf were 1up!! Is there light at the end of the tunnel? :goal:

Mackenzie · Oct 25, 2014

My stream froze just as the ball was heading towards goal.....agonizing 5 seconds of will it or won't it.

:lolol:

Kick on now lads.

Is this real life?

Grombleton · Oct 25, 2014

Brilliant in the first 20 minutes (again) but after that we seem to revert back to the same old pace and it's frustrating.

We're winning though, that's the important thing. Change Colunga for Tex/Paddy; he doesn't seem to be on the same wavelength as everyone else.
