Will we get Pulis the bad loser who blames the ref ("Duffy should have been sent off", or "after international duty, our players took 75 minutes to wake up, which was very disappointng"?

Actual Pulis quote in his BBC interview and yes, he mentioned international duty:

West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "You have to give Brighton credit. I'm not pleased with the way we played during certain stages of the game.

"If you're not at all in stages of the game, you will get beaten. It's disappointing."

"We conceded three poor goals. We had a lot of possession to have created more too.

"Everybody has to deal with the international break but some of our players turned up on Thursday afternoon and they looked like it."

Be interesting to know how many they had playing internationally compared to us.

Thought perhaps we could have used another sub as we looked a little tired. A shame Kayal is not fit as he would have been good in the final 20 I think.

Delivery for Mr. Hughton.

Yes, mate. Buzzing like a teenager again. Kudos for all your Official Duties, it's a thankless task. So happy we can forget about the weak of bladder for a week or so. Getting behind your team shouldn't seem so tricky.

As for Hughton's cache of salt - by now he could basically create he's own Dead Sea on Brighton beach and walk on water.

Their no 26 was atrocious to say the least and a really good, confidence boosting win.

Need not to slack off at the end, other teams will punish us for this
Yes that was disappointing if a little understanding. Maybe the players were a bit tired but around me we genuinely thought we could win 4 or 5 nil we were that dominant. Obviously have taken 3-1 before the off though

I don't understand why we didn't bring on Jose with 10 mins to go. We were looking tired and under constant pressure. March defended well, but when we tried to break he didn't have the legs, Jose could have done both. Obviously all's well that ends well, but I don't get the decision.

Because March was defending superbly at the time. No point in replacing him. He could have come in for Knockaert but we just didn't need to change it.

..........or for Gross.

In hindsight, yes we held out, but would still have liked his speed as a counter-attacking threat for the last 10-15 minutes.

We needed to defend first. I doubt Jizzy knows Hughton's defence drills as well as the others.

Nine of them knowing the drill and flooding the penalty area should be enough! Anyway, Jose would be helping the defence, insomuch as he'd be keeping two of their blokes back to keep an eye on him - that's two less attackers laying siege to our goal.

Keep on questioning CH's tactics but that's the way I read it and it was sensible.
