Disappointing - but we defended badly and didn't create anything. Brighton were fresher and had a lot of movement.

Poor performance from most players. Brighton were all over our defense and we conceded a poor third goal (Henderson's mistake). Left before injury time.

Typical bad day at the office performance today, Brighton controlled the match throughout, got the goals at the right times & got the luck their way. No town player played well and Edwards & Henderson were poor. The first goal was a free header with N'Daw losing his man, no complaints with the second goal which was very well taken. The third was well worked but looked like a bad error from Henderson. The ref was truly awful today not giving us a single decision for 27 minutes and allowing high feet to go unpunished inadvertently led to first goal. The decision not to give a penalty when Kusczak fouled Chopra wa
s ridiculous, no wonder El-Abd was laughing, thankfully it didnt cost us any points as game was over by then. More performances like this will get me worried but more like Wolves/Charlton will see us fine

Same problem as the Bristol City game, our midfield didnt turn up as a unit with the result that Brighton had control for the majority of the match.

The referee was abysmal but he wasnt the reason we lost this one, we did that for ourselves. We seem to struggle against teams who pack their midfield against us and MM needs to find an answer to this asap!
