So frustrating to watch. No goal threat. Dunk gives away free kick and then gets caught out of position. Stockdale got his footwork on the free kick wrong. What Brighton striker would have done what Wilson did?? Anyways, If Stephens had put his chance away we could have snatched something. Cannot wait for this season to end!

Thank god I come back from holiday today with a stinking head cold and didn't feel up to going tonight, otherwise I'd really be spitting my dummy out about the sub standard loanees we have.
Can't wait for next season and automatic promotion

I'm not convinced we can go straight up from League 1

If we end up spending 2 million on another short striker then that's it from me

I think we will just stay up, but the changes needed are huge and we need to sign quickly not just before the season starts (not easy) to get a good pre season.
We don't need big names Brentford have proved that (and Bournemouth to a point)
Prepared to give Chris one season but something is nagging me about him.
Hopefully the suits and Hughton have already got new signings on their minds and are acting on it and just sitting tight hoping we don't go down.

Obvious I know..........but I have never seen a team need a striker as badly as we do........it really is dire....

I seriously can't remember the last time we had a set of strikers so unlikely to score, even under Adams II we had Murray and Forster.

To be fair, Bmuff have won 5 and drawn 3 of last 8. They are on 80 points with 4 to play, an excellent side. They have so many goals orders

We competed for 65 minutes but with no cutting edge. This simply has put be resolved in the summer.

Makes Hyppia look not a lot worse than Hughton.

Hughton is in s different league to the flying Finn. That said we were rally poor second half. This squad needs some work

Did anyone expect anything else? The reason it's so disappointing is because we held them for 70 mins. The positive is that we weren't stuffed and our good GD is more or less intact.
against those world beaters Bournmouth? Yeah, fair enough.

Geez, there's some crap on here tonight! Hughton is Hyypia Mk.2? Oh, for heavens sake!

Yes, I'm disappointed tonight - didn't expect to get much against high-flying B'muff - but we weren't far from getting a draw. I'm disappointed with the season too, but at least we've got a manager in who knows his way around. He has (all but mathematically) kept us up - and that wasn't going to happen back in December! OK, he hasn't got everything right, but he doesn't have much to work with.

Not sure what game you were watching? we were miles from getting a draw!! they were always going to score, we were always NOT going to score! when we went forward we got near there goal and had not a clue what to do, Bestt is as much a striker as I am!...........whilst we are all upset, plese see reality....................they only had 2 shots on target....we had one..............they won 2...0.........

ALOT of rebuilding work next season. Not talking about the hotel either. Bloom needs to pull his finger out his butt and Invest into the squad as this gamble has left us broke so to speak in poker terms.

There's no doubt Bournemouth are having a storming season, I'd say polar opposites were on display tonight. On team full of footballing bravado, winning when playing poorly, always a threat from in and outside the box and capable of defending and waiting for the chance to bury any team at this level. Another team running up blind alleys, and beaten if the other team score first... It's a long way until the end of the season... we could yet join Blackpool in the retirement home of terminally shite seaside resorts of yesteryear. Bournemouth however, seem to have found an endless supply of footballing viagra... I wish them well.

The best team won... The 14/15 season epitaph.

I don't care that it's just little Bournemouth. They have stuffed enough good teams in this league to earn their position 4 points clear!

Jesus, Palace and BMuff promoted ahead of us, the squad we have now compared to 2 years ago, depressing times

Hopefully these dire performances convince the board to throw a bit of cash at the team in the summer and not mess about signing turds. I don't want any more "judge us come May" statements with more chumps bought in.

When you are flying high and full of confidence you get results like B'nuff tonight, the result somewhat flattered them. Incidentally the Sky commentary tonight was a complete B'nuff love in, turned it on mute in the end

To win a game of football, you need to score goals, to score goals you need to shoot at the oppositions goal, one shot at goal in 90 minutes is far from good enough......sorry to be so negative but that was dire to watch as a Brighton supporter.
