There was so much wrong with last night's performance but one thing that contributed to Brentford having the ball so much was FDM's distribution.

Is there one of you that wouldn't have told Kuipers to stop kicking the long high ball? I doubt we won possesion on 5% of those kicks and there were a f**k of a lot of them

Either Kuipers had his brain in neutral or he had no confidence that a Brighton player could get into position and hold a ball thrown to him, but his kicking had a lot to do with the pressure we found ourselves under.

Either way the manager takes responsibilty for the tactics and I have no wish to slag BB off but I no longer think he is an option as the manager. I don't even know what our tactics were last night.

If I was chairman I would get a new manager in before Saturday -Cotterill, Tigana, Hinshelwood anyone but Booker

Roberts is soooo much better than Kuipers.

I keep screaming it from the roof tops.
People will listen and see Im right someday soon hopefully.

Drop heart.

Sort out long ball - we are not a tall team. Kuipers needs to throw the ball out and we need to start from defence.

Diamon formation, have one of midfield as an attacking midfielder (like Scholes) to pass onto Knight. Maybe give Robinson a little go as he has played well every time he is on the pitch.

Get Knight to be a striker and not a winger, which is where he was last night.

Disagree, Kuipers is at the moment our one 'class' player. Both him and Knight could walk into most teams in the 2nd div

I'm a big fan of OGH but the last two games Hart has been useless, head down and mindless running and shots that are non league standard.

If there was anyone to drop him for, I'd drop him as well.
