I wonder how many teams have NEVER taken the lead?

Same, but not because of a football result
Main blessing today is I’m home within an hour of final whistle for a change. As for the football probably the worst game I’ve seen this season in terms of overall quality from both sides. West Ham are dreadful and we huffed and puffed. Could be a long winter.

So hard watching us at the moment. West Ham were awful tho, wasting time constantly, much worse for Hammers fans watching that shit.
I think we have a good squad tho and should be doing slightly better than we are

Yeah. I mean, maybe I'm reading too much into a 10 minute cameo appearance, and obviously rusty, I thought he looked like he wanted it more than he has in recent appearances. Which, although he should have scored, was at least a little bit encouraging.
Georginio looks lost without Welbz.
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.
Yeah, this is pretty much my feeling as well. We’ve had good moments but our style of play, whatever it actually is, is not great to watch. Apart from the odd half of football here and there, I just haven’t felt like we are actually playing all that well, or like we are playing to particular tactics or style.

Fab just confirmed that Danny WON'T be in contention for playing against Brentford.

We had our best spell when Ayari was on!

I see the whingers are out in force again. Quelle surprise. I thought we played pretty well after a slow start. Had enough chances to win, and we should have, but that's football. Of course I wish we'd won but an away point is acceptable. The commentators on the feed I watched were complimentary about "Brighton's beautiful football." We're not on a great run but things will pick up again.

Yeah, it's a weird comment from him. Ayari played very nicely and we were very much on the front foot after his introduction. He has a nice incisive pass on him.

The problem is who else do we have as cover in that position? Do we promote Duffus? Unfortunately I don't think we can recall Sima. Of course we might get someone on loan ourselves!

When you have ex pros saying our pressing is so good West Ham can’t get on the ball,, they are exposing the gaps in West Ham’s midfield superbly and posters saying we are crap doesn’t add up somehow

Still think Europe is out of sight. There are much better sides than us around and above us.
mid table mediocrity seems attainable
not sure how that ties in with bloom and barber’s intentions of pushing on by spending £200m.
I hope Gomez is the player out of those purchases that is the one as IMHO the rest have not exactly set the world alight.

We need Yalcouyé back in Jan to control the tempo he picks up the ball superbly from the defenders and sprays it about.
He will be the next £100m player.

The league is so tight a few wins gets you back up there it’s like the championship this season. Teams will come from nowhere maybe that will be us.
I’m sure B and B didn’t expect Fab to hit the ground running and for the good results to last all season. We are a young side with a young management team. Let’s be patient.
(Ps why couldn’t Henderson have been this crap against us last week?)
