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

Unless our form becomes potentially catastrophic, this is likely to be true.

At the moment the form is concerning, but a win would change all of that.

At least today's performance was good, and the result acceptable. It's a step out of our run of poor results.

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

No it won't.

Disappointing again. Should have won but ultimately it's yet another shit team we've failed to beat.

There were positives but I'm getting to the point where I just don't like how we play. It feels stupid, lacking in cohesiveness and bordering on chaotic far too often. It's like watching a kids team. I hope sooner rather than later that whatever it is that FH is trying to do clicks and becomes apparent because this, surely, can't be the master plan.

I hate feeling like this when there is so much I should be excited and happy about.

Good second half performance.

Lots of positives today.

- Another point on the board
- Great goal and performance from Wieffer
- Subs looked great and dangerous - Lamptey, Enciso, Minteh
- Better team today away at WHU
- Dunk looked solid again, and involved in attacks, with an assist

A few negatives

- 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.
- Another soft goal to give away IMO
- Should have won this today, had plenty of chances, and a bit of bad luck.

All in all, I'm satisfied. A highly entertaining second half that we could have/should have won. It's progress out of this poor run of form. We do need a win PDQ/ASAP though.

Pretty much agree with all of this but not satisfied. Another opportunity for 3 points slips away as Mitoma and Ayari missed golden chances , which should have been scored with ease

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.

Another two points dropped from a winning position. Lose to Brentford next week and Uncle Tony will be looking at his appointments shortlist.

Missed chances again. We can't keep doing this. One point today but . . . I'll leave it there.

This, edge of the seat stuff at the end there. With better finishing/more composure we would all have been happy.

Good to see us back to our style at the end and I hope we can carry it on to Brentford.

Believe we are the worst side in the Premier League this season to lose points when we take the lead.

Quite disappointing season so far as we have spent £200m

Couldn’t understand why we bought so many forwards , apart from a striker! and only one defender

One bright spot is that Radio Sussex have technical issues so aren't able to have callers sharing their wisdom at the moment...

This isn't Fab's fault. What are you supposed to do when your players make poor decisions and miss good chances and one sitter. This game should've been won convincingly, and it's not the only one this season.

I knew there’d be one.

Yep, how many times could you say that this season! Nothing to do with Fab!!!

We looked like a Graham Potter team today.

Coach them into making better decisions and take good chances? We’ve seen how good some of these players can be, it’s his job to get the best out of them.

Nothing wrong with keeping your feet on the ground fella.

We're not Liverpool. Although we do have a very good squad and expectations should be high, the reality is our young squad will have spells of poor form. Our players will make mistakes. We will have disappointing results.

Important to see the bigger picture.

What's important is that we see improvements, rather than regression, which we saw today.

This performance is quite clearly a step out of our poor run of form, and we'll be back to winning ways soon

Not good enough

I don't get it. How do we play? What is the system?
All I see is the worst defending since we entered the Premier League and a bit of attacking flair but not enough.
