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
I wonder how many teams have NEVER taken the lead?

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

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

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.
 




Should have won but at least didn’t lose! Weiffer MOTM. When he went off we conceded and looked weaker with Ayari on. Waste of time bringing Fergie on. Needs to go out on loan in Jan. Pedro frustrating but kept going to his credit. Dunk much better but JP terrible. We were lucky Wet Spam didn’t have a decent striker to expose us further. Mitoma good 1st half then bad second. At least a better team performance than of late
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.

I'm a Ferguson fan, but we have passed the point now where we can say "maybe it'll be better next time".

He needs a decent run of games which we cannot afford to give him. He needs to regain his confidence.

Fortunately, the January transfer is just around the corner...
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.

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?)

That 200m was spent
