KaKa Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Really important that we are becoming a team that can still pick up a point when we haven't played well. Really glad for Botman getting a clean sheet first time out. Big props to Nick Pope as well for getting us the point today. No goals conceded first two games and 4 points on the board. Decent.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thought we had the right ideas at times but were very sloppy in our execution. No doubting the heat played its part. Rode our luck at times and given we usually get spanked there, I’m happy with the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to be too harsh on the players because I didn't think Brighton were any good either and it looked like all of the players were suffering with the heat and agitated. Pope - 8.5 Trippier - 5.5 Schar - 7 Botman - 7 Burn - 8 Bruno - 5.5 Joelinton - 5.5 Willock - 5.5 ASM - 5 Wilson - 4 Almiron - 6.5 Really surprised to see Wilson with a 4, don't think he was the worst of our players by any means at all.

pubteam Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We didn't seem too bad in the first half, second we just seemed to run out of energy and ideas. We desperately needs some more quality, noticed Maddison scored again today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 It no surprise that Bruno and Joelinton had their worst games in ages. Brighton are brilliant out of possession. A very good side who just lack forward players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're still bringing Murphy and Wood off the bench to try and change games by the end of January, we won't be finishing top 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve made it well known on here I absolutely can’t stand him, but a piece of me is dying every time I see him feature now. Really hoped we’d get rid this summer.

Heron Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Pope man of the match, shortly followed by Joelinton for me, then Miggy. Fairly poor game on our behalf, but shows the importance of discipline, rigidity, understanding the system, intensity, everything we didn't have with Bruce. Would have lost 3 or 4 nil today under Bruce. Both teams lacking quality in the final third, think the heat played its part too. All in all, a great result, another clean sheet, one of our top 10 difficult fixtures done for the season and unbeaten. Free punch at City now.

54 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 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.

It’s a measure of the season up to now and the work done up to now. Four points from two games and third. How else are you going to measure it? We’ll be at least 6th after the rest of the games are played. Struggling to recall last time we were 6th.

80 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Didn't see the game but sounds like we got a hiding despite the result. Disappointing. Can't really comment, but our (lack of) use of subs didn't sound inspiring? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We've all seen our points can cover bad performances, see Pardew 5th. We're not at a stage of our development where by points are good enough if the occasional performance is sub par. A few games last season we stole a result, that's a fact. So far this season, we've had a jog about against Forest and have been run ragged by a toothless but brilliantly coached Brighton. I certainly have lots of faith, I really do. I want to see some evidence that we've pushed on from last season though. And......there's 10,000s of pro players in the world. It can't be hard to find an upgrade for the money available. Nearly all other teams manage it. We must have set ourselves some ridiculously stringent criteria to not find an upgrade on someone who can't pass or shoot.

Pata Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 First half was alright tbf, just the final ball was lacking. Brighton created nothing in the first half either unless we giftem them possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Pretty shat that. But in perspective they'll be feeling blue that a rival for the top half has taken a point off them and is in the box seat Think that's where were at - Brighton's level of bang midtableness. Few recruits could alter that. *will never expect anything but a naff game there from now. Just got to accept it at this point.
