Positively you’d prefer Burgess over Greaves ?? I’d prefer a wheely bin over Wallyden. In the second half he kicked an attempted clearance 40ft straight up in the air and then he missed it as it came down and bounced up to hit him in the ging gangs. Absolutely useless. If we play like that for the rest of the season we’re 100% going down unfortunately. A very very poor night.

A sliced clearance and another silly foul by Morsey waa all it took.
Hutchison seemed a able to pass the ball so all of his runs came to nothing
Our next two games could be fatal

Just wonder if Morsy would have been in that big gap the defence left open for the first goal? Before they scored it was a pretty low quality stalemate. The first goal was initially a mistake by Greaves but then when they crossed the ball in, our defenders were so transfixed that they forgot to get tight on the players in the box. It was a strange lapse in concentration. But I wasn’t too worried as I assumed there was going to be a heroic fight back, and my 426 mile motorcycle round trip on a Thursday night in January was going to be worth it. But the fight-back just never got off the ground. I have to give Brighton some credit for that. They broke up our play time and time again with monotonous effectiveness. They also pressed well when we tried to reverted to ‘play it out from the back - give the fans a heart attack’. Has anyone else noticed that we are not pressing anymore? Delap is no longer charging at a terrified keeper. He just jogs about now. I can understand that tactically we may want the opposition to advance and then we pinch the ball and break, but there didn’t seem to be a coordinated effort to do this. It just looked a bit half hearted. When Morsy came on, things briefly improved as he lead by example but then the second goal happened. I couldn’t see who is was but he had a chance to poke it clear and instead just stared at it. Time stood still an Rutter took that time to try his luck with a back heel. Luck was on his side. Game over.

I prefer a knackered 33 year old Morsy to Phillips who contributes absolutely nothing apart from scoring against Bristol Rovers about his limit now. I never knock players that give one hundred percent . Hutchinson has been lambasted for his performance but he done ten times more than Leslie Phillips last night who has no excuse being an England international.
