There were 2 offside in the build up.The actual goal was not offside but one of the players who was offside seconds earlier crossed the ball.Do they show the build up to the goal on Seagulls world ?

I agree with that. This was a case of lack of quick-thinking in recovering from a disputed offside call rather than defenders being done for pace. Liddell took time to get his cross in but we were too disorientated by the lack of an offside flag to defend properly.
Mayo may not be quick but often defending in these situations is about quickness of mind rather than feet. Butters/Cullip are no speed merchants but they might have had the presence of mind to cover Shaw's run. Harding is one of the quickest defenders we have but he moved back too sluggishly and Shaw got in ahead.
Similarly with the QPR goal, it was not lack of pace that caught us out with that Cureton-Furlong 1-2, but lack of anticipation and not having the nous/experience to spot what Furlong was up to with his run. Butters may well have done better than Mayo but the issue isn't about pace I feel.
