Stockdale 9 JMotM -- at least one worldy, probably three, kept us in it. I'm not going to blame him for their goal. Although I haven't seen a replay, there were all sorts of things going on with that.
Bruno 7 -- poor first half, better second half
Duffy 8.5 -- rock ...
Dunk 8.5 -- ... solid; although I did think he was winding himself up for a brain fart
Bong 5 -- see Bruno, except shocking first half
Knockaert 5 -- one good run, and one good pass, but too weak beyond that
Sidwell 6.5 -- see Bruno
Stephens 6.5 -- see Bruno
Murphy 7 -- I love the way he picks up the ball, and just runs with it directly. A few weak challenges
Baldock 9 JMotM -- thought he was well up for it in the first half, with lots of running, movement, lay-offs, and was a revelation in the second: one cracking goal, one cracking assist, and pulled their defence apart
Murray 7 -- cracking finish, but dreadful first half

Skalak 6.5 -- did OK
Norwood n/a

Fulham were fantastic, and should have been away from us, but Stockdale kept us in it. Could do with signing Cairney in January, to go with our top striker signing :thumbsup:

Stockdale. 9.5
Baldock 9

All the rest about a 7, awful first half, very much improved second

Fulham were very impressive first half and bossed the game. Second half the game got a bit more physical and Fulham tried to mix it with us, which was their undoing.

This is the most streetwise Brighton team I've seen since the Cullip & Oatway Micky Adams day, the only difference being we've got a lot more quality all over the pitch.

We bullied Fulham out of their rhythm and they seemed to lose their composure and fatigued as the match progressed.

I thought Dunk & Duffy as always were absolute class.

Stephens had his worst game for some time and I hope it's just a blip rather than lack of motivation after the summer's events.

Ok I take it you will be dropping Stephens also then!
If going by poor games - Stephens has had a few now.
Bong is the whipping boy, yet Stephens and others seem to escape when playing poorly. Strange everybody complaining about Bong, and not a mention re Stephens and others were poor.
Today, first half all were poor bar Dunk/Duffy.

stockdale - 7 - mixed bag. some great saves but distribution poor at times and lord only knows what was happening with the goal
Bong - 6 - poor first half, much better second. Supported Murphy well
Bruno - 5 - got sucked inside far too often. Aluko gave him a torrid time
Duffy - 9 - immense MOTM
Dunk - 8 - excellent

Sidwell - 6 - won the ball a lot but did little with it
Stephens - 5 - a repeat of villa. Silly booking
Knockert - 5 - see Stephens
Murphy - 6 - better than AK but unconvincing

Baldock - 9 - an assist, a goal and hit the post. Some great runs
Murray - 7 - overshadowed by baldock but a delightful finish. Was he offside? The linesman seemed to be making it up as he went all by so who knows?

Norwood - 6
Skalak - 5 - brought on to sure up the right hand side. Failed to do so

I thought we were fortunate today

March - 5 - terrible decision making when he could have rolled the ball to Murray to kill off the game

Stephens has played poorly for 2 games, but also single handedly won us the game against Wigan. Bong has had about 3 good games all season. He is not a 'whipping boy' or 'scapegoat' just playing poorly for an extended period
