Went wrong before the sending off. Went wrong when again our defender dived in at the near post and sat on his ares for their first goal. Stand up man bloody stand up. What do they learn in training and why doesn't he know that anyway? Crap defending. Utterly shit.

You can't say that a draw wasn't the correct result in both our last two games, just incredibly frustrating that we could easily have won both.

A resilient team wouldn't have drawn from 2 nil up!!

I agree. I really think Hughton has a problem with getting the players to play through those final 10 minutes. Any game when you're up, home or away, with 10 minutes to go means the opposition is going to come at you all guns blazing, Brighton seem to crumble at that point so often.

This puts massive amounts of pressure on Saturdays game IMO!!!

How many times has Dunk lost his cool this year...

Mate clutching at straws with the 4-5-1 the sending off has cost us 3 points madness from Dunk I say get rid in Jan to the highest bidder!!

Not defending Dunk, have said he has cost us the game but still don't agree with the policy of sitting back with 10 mins to go. Contributed to costing us points today and on Saturday. Would rather put a fresh fast player up front to keep at least two opposition players at their end of the field

Comfortable till stupid sending off

Well, comfortable until they scored their first. Greer let Austin turn a bit too easily, but you have to say it was a quality finish. Annoying that he came back tonight.

Fair enough but his only option was Zamora

You would think that the vast defensive playing and coaching experience of Hughton and Calderwood (not to mention Poyet, Garcia and Hyypia before them) would have mentored Dunk to mature and avoid the sort of rash mistakes we've seen tonight - and on too many previous occasions.

The first yellow card was completely needless and the subsequent reckless challenge that earned the second yellow (probably a straight red in other circumstances) both suggest that Dunk is........rather thick.

Lewis will now have some time on the naughty step to reflect on whether he wants to be a top top defender who can be trusted under pressure - or more questions whether he will always be a liability.

Would have won that without the sending off

not sure about that, it was from a set piece, bruno lost his man who he'd marked all night, and it was a free header. not sure what difference Dunk wouldve made with their second. But no doubt we very nearly lost it and Dunk seeing red needlessly, let down his team mates and the fans badly.

Yes but lets face it mate its a major **** up tonight

A fully firing fit Charlie Austin will see QPR right up there come season's end, the result was a disappointment rather than a major **** up IMO. Austin is a Premier League player, we won't come up against many like him this season.

I think the biggest worry is that the team play like they no longer believe they can hold leads...
