I thought we were unlucky last night in some respects but once again we missed a few tricks in both midfield and our support of Ulloa. See what you think.

A good and fair account that. The consensus amongst our fans seems to be that the game could just as easily have ended level or as a narrow victory for Brighton. There's also agreement that our task wouldn't have been any different - we still need to win on Sunday to be sure and I know McClaren will be drumming that into the players. As last night demonstrated, we're not watertight and sitting back inviting pressure doesn't really suit us, apart from giving us the opportunity to break quickly. At home, I suspect the approaches of the two teams will be a mirror image and we'll need to be wary of getting caught on the break.

It promises to be another nerve-shredding finale.

Thanks. It certainly does!

Good summary. One question – and I might be being a bit of a :dunce: GDC?

As it's the end of the season I shan't continue last time's wind up.
