I think it shows why Forest are down the bottom of the table. Despite enjoying possession there final attacking moves lacked precision, guile or creativity and made it easy for Brez. Before Vicente arrived, I think the same could be said about the Albion. And about Liverpool.

Don't blame Spaz , blame the ref and assistant ref (lino) ignoring Barnesy being shoved off the ball 25 yards out and 5 yards from the touchline which allowed Forest to clear their lines instead of awarding us a free kick. Spaz had to take one for the team as they pushed into our half.

I would have taken the 1-1 scoreline before the game kicked off, and on reflection, it's difficult to argue. They didn't deserve to lose, and probably deserved to win, but we scored against their brittle defence and they weren't going to score twice against us today. Draw is a fair result, but probably fairer to a Brighton fan than a Forest fan. And no, I wasn't there.
A fair summary. Letting an unlikely lead and 2 valuable points slip away in injury time felt hard at the time. Disappointing that a Bridders/Sparrow/Razak/Navs/Barnes midfield couldn't take control for the last few minutes. Having got the lead no one seemed able to put their foot on the ball, instead there were too many hoof balls that gave Forest possession.
Then the initial reaction was that Sparrow's red card cost us the match but TBF the Ref was so trigger happy and every 50/50 challenge seemed to go against us.
But having calmed down now and reflected on the game a draw was probably a decent outcome for us, especially with the absentees and playing a decent part of the match without a wide player. After an ok opening half hour we started to look good we lost concentration and suddenly let Andy Reid take control of midfield. You could see that the Forest forwards fancied their chances after the result at Leeds and for a spell it looked as if we might get a proper battering. Our midfield worked hard but again we were too easily brushed off the ball. Considering we looked a bit lightweight going forward we took our only decent chance. It might have been even better if only we had pushed a bit higher up the field rather than sit deep. It all looked a very similar pattern to recent away games at Donny and Hull, but at least we didn't let them do a Blackpool.
All in all today was definitely a glass half full result.

Just back home from the game - gutted we didin't hang on for all 3 points but would have taken a point at half time so no complaints really. Whole team looked out of sorts (virus?). Navarro wasour best player in first half with Brez comanading his box for most of the game apart form a couple of poor clearances in the first half.
First trip to the City ground - fairly impressive stands BUT the concourse in the away end was like a set from "Prisoner cell block H!!" - We are so blessed with our beautiful home.
We are still fourth everybody, all to play for - come on you super seagulls!!!!!!

No never been to a game, I'm always here on match days as you rightly point out, you must shadow me. Where do Brighton play again? I've forgotten.
Edit: Such a classic post from this pillock I had to make it my signature.

How was Vicente yesterday?
I was listening on the radio, so not entirely sure, it sounded like we were pressed too high to play our game so his contribution was limited, but he did set up our goal. The player ratings thread will have some brief comments from people who were at the game.

Good as usual although not as impressive as Navarro
We weren't at the races yesterday and Cotterill done his prep work on us well
Vicente was shackled and not allowed to free roam as he normally does
I don't think we had a corner all game which was a shame as Vicente's corners/set pieces are different gravy
Our only effort on goal all game was his free-kick to Vokes
My main observation from yesterday is that Nottingham girls are very pretty
Might have to move up there with the amount of good-looking girls

It was a good weekend away for me. We got a point we didn't really deserve and that's fine with me.
What's not fine with me is the dirty Forest fans spitting on us from above. Filthy shits. Also the stewards seemed only to be able to say "Turn left, then left again" when asked for directions.

How did Lynch celebrate scoring against his old club?
He was an arse at Brighton, glad we got rid. I only hope he won't have 'his part in pur downfall' when we total the points at the end of the season

"his part in our downfall" doesn't single his one goal out, does it?
It's another incidental, but if we missed out by a point it could be one of the incidentals.

Yes, there are ways the luck evens itself out, and incidentals that contribute.
Maybe we are forced to establish our claim to be among the big boys by winning the points by force - crushing finer points into dust and just brushing aside the contenders who might now threaten our place in the playoffs. That would be 'fitting' whether we like it or not. Gus and the team have to make the play - never mind all the b/s about managing other clubs, or players who could make the grade at the top. Let's have them prove those indications for themselves.
The season always starts here, from our very next training, next tactic, team talk, and next match.
well being such a twat London Blue Im sure if you read your copy of the daily star it will let you know who Brighton are playing next Saturday and by the way we will be the team in blue and white and not red
