No hard feelings.....

I thought a fair result would be 1-0 to Southampton. Our games this season (for bad or worse) seem to be like Saturday this year. A long ball into the channels and our defenders struggle and most likely we will concede. Gus says have patience, keep our shape (with eleven players preferably), do not panic and work our way back into the game. For the first time this year Noone had no joy against Fox. Up until the sending off you had created two half chances and got a goal and the game was still on. We could not go gung-ho as Southampton were recognised as a good counter-attacking team.

It was disappointing because at the end of the first half we had weathered the storm and we had started to get more adventurous. Still if we played like we did in the first half a goal was almost inevitable, so a change in formation would be planned. But the ridiculous penalty and sending off spoiled the game.

And I will keep saying it until this manufactured rivalry fucks off from whence it came.

*Retreats to a safe distance*

Actually I'd say the current (as opposed to the 1970s) Brighton and Palace rivalry is far more manufactured as it had to be artificially kept alive throughout the DECADES when we never played each other. Mind you at least I can no longer sing "Stand up if you've seen Palace", and if we can both stay in the same division for a few years and become promotion rivals then maybe it'll come back.

As soon as i saw our lineup, i knew we would struggle.

Actually, everyone knew we'd struggle before the lineups were announced. You saw we were 13-2 right?

All this give it 2-3 years and we'll be up there doing what Southampton are doing is complete shite - there are no guarantees in football. Avoiding being raped in the transfer window as we always are, would be a good start though.

Sums it up perfectly.
