Norwich currently bottom of the Championship, can't see Smith lasting long there.

Both of them would be great impact subs too, could you imagine a non-fatigued Miggy coming in with 20 minutes left today in that heat.

Don't actually think there is much to gleem from today other then "we weren't at the races", we still had some decent intricate attacking play at times but our passing was just a yard or two short, and still pressed well at times but when we did it seemed to exert us so we started to sit back, although generally I think we defended well, so there is nothing wrong structurally with the way we play, I just think it was just a bad day at the office, with several of our key players having stinkers, Bruno and Trippier in particular who tend to be our best players in possession couldn't thread a pass today. So don't think its worth worrying too much at this point, though we need attacking options as Murphy is just pap, today would have actually been the sort of game Miggy would have made a great impact from the bench.

On a serious note, I legitimately think the kits played a massive part in that, there where multiple occasion where both sides played it to the other team, at the start of the second half a Brighton player player a through ball to Trippier for instance.

Playing poorly and getting a decent result, the sign of Champions to be honest.

Nick Pope.

Valuable point give we weren't at the races, not sure if it was the heat or what but our intensity was not there, but a point at Brighton is a good one, we should be in and around it with them come the end of the season.

That was a perfect through ball to Trippier that.

Think thats a fairly even half, although half-time came at a good time for us as they where starting to get on top, as well as getting between the lines a fair bit more. Heat is defiantly playing its part, we are noticeably more sluggish then normal, and don't have that intensity we normally have. Think the kits are also a factor, think some of the misplaced passes are as players think its there man. Trippier, ASM and Bruno have been poor by there own high standards, and Miggy has been our best player by a mile.

Really good contest this, both teams looks assured and confident.

"Or Darlow" like he forgot Dubs was easily number one over the last 4 seasons and we only replaced him as he's become a bit of a crock.
