The main positive is that we went out all guns blazing, we gave it our best shot despite missing our two best players. To have beaten every team we have faced in Europe in our first season is a big achievement.

Just got in. Really proud of all the players tonight really gave it a go and Danny’s goal was superb. Also proud of our fans tonight as well. Loud and proud for most if not all game. Well done everyone.

Superb atmosphere for the most part. Sat (stood) with a good bunch of like-minded Albion fans at the back of the NWC as well which was nice.

Stunning goal from Welbz

Agree that JP had another very good game. Has to be be between him and Pascal for PotS.

We don't have to play shithouses again this season. Roma can go home to the cesspit that is Italian football.

Unfortunately we do.

Still got to play Villa at home.

I'm going to keep it simple and say the biggest positive is that we have just watched Brighton beat Roma in the last 16 of the Europa League!

Just like against Forest, a 1-0 win and another three points ((c) Ashley Barnes)

Nothing. Only positive possible is staying in the cup

Too many positives to list.
Anyone who chips away at where we currently are either isn't a Brighton fan or has no understanding of the economics of football.
It's an amazing achievement to be where we currently are, and it looks like we might be able to hang around here for a bit longer.
Thank you TB, PB and everyone else who has helped us get to where we are. (too many to mention)

West Ham winning.
Apart from another positive European night for us of course
England co-efficient up - Germany down

So Eighth place in the Premier League could mean qualification for Europe.

The boys gave everything. The crowd appreciated that.
It is a shame we couldn’t unleash Pedro, Mitoma and peak Ferguson at them.
Then, it’s a different story.
Good luck to Roma’s C team ( ) in the rest of the competition

The lads gave everything the whole game. I never lost hope of maybe getting a second and then maybe … who knows. Decent atmosphere. Superb goal from Danny. So many good performances that I’m not going to dwell on the one or two that maybe don’t seem up to what we need.

If only we’d been drawn against Sparta Prague …

I'm surprised he went off, he looked a threat every time he got the ball.

Just managing his fitness after a long recovery. We desperately need him fit for the league run in.

Billy Gilmour was a tad frustrating too tonight, full of energy but just goes backwards too often. OK in the league, but when you need many goals.

I hope we can persuade Lallana to stay 1 more year. He is excellent at linking play, even if he does run out of puff

The whole team goes backwards too much for my liking. But I suppose that’s the way we play. I wish we’d shoot more.

Agreed...we never seem to have a tactic to put the ball back to runners coming to the top of the box to thump it!
Yes, Enciso does it, all by himself though; and Welbeck's was great, but it's not enough.
Even Igor's low power shot was spilled by their keeper.
Mind you, I actually thought Roma defended very well against us.

More shots and more crosses needed last night.

Our crosses looked dangerous, we scored from a long shot.

Some of Lallana’s play was simple but class.
