We was really really really bad
We were that good. And after a nightmare start to the day forgetting to tap in at West Ealing for me I consumed many pints on your sea front at prices which make West London look reasonable and got a free ride home due to barriers being open at Victoria. I love Brighton away, I hope we're back next season.

Absolutely this. Brentford exploited the space in behind Bruno pretty much on every counter attack. It was so obvious I would question why Hughton didn't spot it and resolve the problem. Really Norwood should cover this space when Bruno goes forward but it didn't work which is why Duffy got exposed and had a 'difficult'' game.
We were tactically shitehouse.

Chris Hughton's tactics and inability on the day to change them did for us. The Brentford manager had our game plan sussed and exploited Bruno's runs upfield and outnumbered us in midfield where they completely bossed us. Brentford were much better than us, hard to say if they are a very good side as they played a side that could hardly string a pass together on the day.
Very surprised that CH didn't think he needed to change anything much earlier than he did, just taking Hemed, who was completely ineffective, off and stiffening up the midfield with Stephens and leaving Norwood on would at least have stemmed the midfield being overrun. Hemed and Murray are too similar, everyone else can see it, why can't Hughton?

Nice to know we can still put in an absolute turd of a performance. Was getting a bit worried over the last year or so, but no, we've still got that capability.

Goldson in, Lua Lua in, Skalak in and March in. Maybe with 15 we'll beat the Terriers.

All true. Think we have gambled wrongly . Adding Essentially Murray to last years team won't get us in the playoffs.
Last year teams expected to beat us. This year they do not.

I sincerely believe we cannot be so poor all round again on Tuesday night. A few players must be starting to be concerned over their ability and form. Onwards we go.....

The Glory Game
Sides like Brentford who play short passing football seem to cause us problems. Huddersfield will be similar. The Albion will need to up their game.

We were very poor and didnt get to grip with Woods , No 15, both Bruno and Duffy were too slow and exposed by pace. Murray and Hemed received no service whatsoever and for all AK trickery he produced nothing as regards of cutting them open. It looks good but is ineffective if there is no end product. Murphy started brightly but faded and I do not believe even a fit Lua Lua is an improvement, perhaps March is the answer when fit.

Wise words.
Wilfully misinterpreted but I take the point. Yes, of course he should be back there defending, But it's a fact of the way we played last season that Bruno getting forward to support Knockaert makes the team very dangerous. And he can't be in both places at once.

Isnt that what we wanted to sign a 4th striker to do?
Talking to a Bees fan on the way home apparently he is very good when fit which isnt often as he apparently missed nearly a complete season after signing from Rochdale. He then came back played a couple of games and was then out for another 3 months so they expect him to be injured again before October is out.

they played as good as they can we had an off day...the only concern for me is we had off days last season but still managed to either win or draw the sign of promotion challengers..yesterday we could of lost by 3 or 4 but hopefully we'll put that right on Tuesday

Looking again at the sky highlights (note - they don't show one Albion chance, it's all Brentford) - the first goal was just a blind hopeful punt forwards that found just Bruno nowhere and then v poor positioning from Stockdale made it too easy. Then a couple of good saves from Stockdale but players moaning at each other afterwards (laughable that Bong has a go at Dunk). 2nd goal, Dunk was well beaten sadly (his only mistake in the game imo) and a good finish, nothing Stockdale could to as it's hard and high into the roof of the net.
