Does that mean you’re blaming the manager for today’s result?

[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Ipswich Town *** Official Match Thread ***

The stats are very similar. We played pretty well TBF but it did put me in mind of that Performance Art quote.

That double save in the first half was quality.
Though the second shot should have been placed higher.
I find Hurzeler's comments that he made after the game a bit strange: This is Fabian speaking to BBC Match of the Day "Today we did everything to win the game. We had enough chances to win and defended well enough to win the game, so in the end, I'm happy with the performance."
"We could have created more, we know this, but Ipswich are not a bad team."
"I didn't understand the fourth official. Last game, at the Emirates, we watched the clock and saw how much additional time there was and he said: "He will add it".
"In the end, he will add three minutes and for me, that is two substitutions. We had more subs, plus corners, injuries. I think nobody can understand it.
"Even when I asked the referee, he couldn't give me an answer."
"We could have created more, we know this, but Ipswich are not a bad team."

If Ipswich are not a bad team then who are the sides that should be three points guaranteed? We'll see where Ipswich are in the return game, in mid January.

There are no guaranteed points in this league.

is it me or do have new speakers that look like they are hung and about to collapse around the ground. Look awful and sounded awful.
What was equally awful were the traitors parked in front of the goal that occasionally ran down the hill and nearly netted into our goal but overall how sad must you be to watch that tripe from east anglia - thank f*ck we can create some great passages pf play to entertain our fans just a shame for all the shot we had so few on target and even half of them your granny could've saved. MOM Van Hecke absolutely outstanding - hope he told the others in the dressing room "I did more than my bit what did you strikers and assisting midfielders do" Shame Pedro was absent as it really fantast league team and he would've easily scored a hatrick today.

You’re sounding pretty entitled.
Ipswich aren’t a “bad team”. They’re in the top 20 best teams in England. With an excellent coach that we tried pretty hard to poach.
I tried reading that twice and now need some painkillers. Cheers.

A quality performance from Brighton. 8 times out of ten we would have won that game.
Some of the passing play was superb.
A 1-0 win would have had us dreaming of Europe again. We are looking like an accomplished top half side with masses of potential.
I came away from the game frustrated and disappointed, but hugely encouraged by some of the passages of play we produced.
We're certainly going in the right direction.

Look it's been a good if fortuitous start to the season but that was poor. None of our attacking players performed and Ipswich will almost certainly go down. They got a point today whilst being nowhere near on song.
This is going to take time. Players injured and/or new to the club. Quite a strange style of play to implement. I worry about this whole lack of midfield focus thing, nobody wins most of their matches without a midfield. Still, at least we have Baleba who played like two men today.
Be very interesting to see where we are at Christmas.

You say that, but loads of people get them wrong even with the words on screen...
When Abu Dhabi play almost anyone.
English snob, requiring attributes such as the full stop.

It's amazing how two people can see the same thing, but so differently!
Although not in the 'Ginger Ninja, How Big Are Your Muscles? I drive a Range Rover' Dwayne of old (for all you younger viewers!) camp that can't stand Hinshelwood, I was pleased when he was taken off and replaced for Ferdi as I didn't think he has a particularly good game. And his set pieces were generally poor
There are no guaranteed three points. You know that right? Liverpool were beaten at home by Nottingham forest today.
We played reasonably well but couldn't finish. It happens.
Indeed. We all see different things and different moments and biases stick in the mind. I felt he was growing into the game and exerting influence. And that his corners were pretty decent!

i thought Ipswich would come and try to play the football we have all heard that they like to play. disappointed they came for a draw and 11 men behind the ball stuff.
inevitably normal service has resumed where we cant beat anyone who comes and plays the low block. Attack too slow and trying to walk into the goal. plus our wingers were shockingly awful.
