I have to be positive, no point in moaning about the way we are playing, I'll let others do that for me, that's what they seem good at.
Chris Hughton , if he reads all this negativity, will probably grimace, laugh then grimace again
He'll get us out of this predicament the players are leading us into, I know it's about unleashing, but best be cautious and not lose than gungho and get mullered IMO.

Gungho isn't the only alternative to over-cautious defensive play!

Ok, I am going to fly in the face of most here... I have just checked the league table and there are 5 teams below us - and I'm guessing their fans, with the possible exception of Swansea will all be saying the same as us!

What you have to look at is the ridiculous situation that there are only 4 points between our "we're doomed Captain Mainwaring" fans and Bournemouth in 10th place, 10th place a position I am sure everyone would bite the hand of our master Sky off for.

Anyone who thought this season would be easy clearly isn't a Brighton fan, and those that criticise Hughton's try not to lose tactics obviously don't appreciate the pressure that is on the whole club to survive this first season in the Premier League. If people really expected us to "go for it" then they were seriously deluded.

Horseshite. We were 5/1 with the bookies tonight for a reason. Away wins at established PL clubs do not come easy.

We are still building the quality of our squad buying off the 3rd or 4th shelf.

That is a good point tonight.

They certainly don't come easy when you park the bus for 70 minutes.....

Wonder how Bloom's betting consultancy feels atm, because right now the smart money is on us going down. Time to go large.

Yeah but we beat them 3-1 at home, meaning over the two matches they haven't gained anything over us head-to-head, if you see what I mean.

Away goals?

Except the tactics were completely different against Chelsea. No-one can accuse us of being defensive in that game! Oh, and we lost 4-0 btw.

Sorry your right! We tried something different ONCE.

We don't look like winning and barely look like scoring from open play....Got 2-0 hammers written all over it.

Away from home maybe - at home we've looked like scoring every game.

I know chap, a draw is a great result.
We can get 9 points from the next three games and we'll be laughing.
It's all about trusting in CH, and letting him do his fecking job.

TSB · Jan 31, 2018

Good result lads. Not great, but good.
Can see why Saints are down there: nothing at all up front. They're well in the relegation scrap.

Take the point and on to Saturday.

An away point and up one position in the league not that terrible, shurely? We have had worse days (and will have a few more) this season. Beat West Ham and we will be gurgling with delight.

Seagulls1984 · Jan 31, 2018

Ch saying we played well .really ! Saying we were in the game .

Oh well, with each game there comes fresh hope.

No idea what game he was watching, we hardly left our half all night.

You wonder whether he really knows what he is doing.

Saints will be as depressed as us but not the others

Mancgull · Jan 31, 2018

1 point between 6 teams. Wow that's close. Better point for us than it is for Southampton. We get a point away and Stoke, Newcastle and Southampton get one at home. We pull a point further away from WBA. Not a great night, but not bad.

Indeed.

Huddersfield have spent 60% of the season 'going for it'. Plenty on NSC creaming their pants about them until around Christmas time.
It's got them 24 points and a -25 goal difference. Both worse than us.

Remember: NSC knows nothing.

Newcastle draw at home after being in the lead.

It could be just that little bit worse I guess

dangull · Jan 31, 2018

Reading the comments tonight, you would think we lost 5-0 tonight
