I hope todays lesson learnt will be to hold onto a lead. Because of all these recent lessons we've had, this one seems an obvious one to give.

Another lead slips away! 16 pts lost from winning positions! We are not mentally strong enough and that comes down to The Boy Wonder! Still very far from convinced by him!

I enjoyed that second half, we need to be more clinical with our finishing but we created some good chances.

If we keep playing like that we will be okay.

Another unenjoyable performance, IMO. The players don’t seem to have much of a spark at the moment. You just get the impression they’re not playing with a smile on their face.

Fail to beat Brentford at home and the tide will really start to turn against Hurzeler

I think Bozza's inevitable thread doesn't actually have an answer this time. 1-1 a fair result, neither a point gained nor two lost really.

But - draw away, win at home is European qualifying form. We just need to win at home.....

Better in the second half, but dropping points against crap teams again. Long ball merchants...fancy playing five at the back at home...no wonder they were booing at full time

He hit it first time under pressure. Not sure what else he could have done?

Listen to the last 15 minutes of Radio Sussex and post match. "All he had do was put his put through it, chances don't get easier than that". "No composure".

I cannot fault the effort we put in today. Shit is happening again and again recently

Ferguson looking like a donkey again

- Ferguson's lack of confidence is becoming a liability, other players would have won it for us. Needs to be loaned out January to rebuild confidence.

Other players didn't even get towards the balls crossed in before he was on. At least he gave it a good go today.

Unlucky not to win, but I thought we looked decent in the second half.

The less said about the first, from both teams, the better.

We are not a lucky side.

There’s absolutely no way Tony will be pulling the trigger before the summer.

Terrible first half. Better in the second and should have won with the chances we had. Frustrating result in the end.

Its a game where we started like a team that had just lost 3-1 at home to Palace, and finished it like a team playing with the joie de vivre and attacking intent that we've come to love.

So pretty pleased all in all. Yeah, we could have won, but I'm starting to look on every game as preparation for next season, and there was a lot of good stuff.

It was also Ferguson who had the composure to lay off to Ayari, who then shit the bed

I have my doubts about FH but no way am I blaming him for today’s result. Great subs and early enough too
