Oh, the same crap player who scored wonder goals against Southampton and Liverpool? Regardless of where they come from or how much they cost they are still Brighton players and deserve our support. Still, don’t be too hard on yourself if you cock things up eh?
Perhaps we, as fans, can give Mats the same support as we did with Solly after his penalty miss in the Cup semifinal. We are a very forgiving lot when push comes to shove.
Second season syndrome too. There were rumours flying around during the latter part of the season. Firstly, senior members of the squad approached Hughton requesting that they change tactics and style of play - that was rejected. Secondly, players out on the lash until all hours before games...
Replying to your first sentence - Chris Hughton did a wonderful job to get us promoted to the Premier League and then enabled us to survive in our first season. Our second season, 2018/19, was a case of us not being relegated because there were three teams worse than us, just. Our survival was...

Apart from “succour ” you then have the common English terminology for describing the game that’s massacred, so for example :
1-0, one nil, becomes one to nothing.
2-2, two all, becomes two goals each.
