Cannot disagree more, declaration would have been hailed as a masterstroke if we'd get a wicket or two before close. Really brave and to be applauded - without the declaration chances are game would have fizzled out to a draw.
Tell me how we shoehorn Foakes into side, drop Bairstow, Crawley...
Confident RDZ thought the team would win.
Tactically playing two at the back and Estupinan and to a lesser extent Gross ahead of our midfield looks poor now.
Whatever we say with the benefit of hindsight we've seen the best football ever from a Brighton team.
FFS sometimes we'll lose, Everton...
Everton superb, two really really good finishes tonight, deserved the win.
Maybe time for Sanchez to come back though.
No complaints they deserved their win.
Tough now, need to pick ourselves up for Arsenal.
How good would we be if we had DCL and Pickford in our team?
He's got more right than wrong, look at March, maybe he should not have played, is that his fault too.
Sometimes you come up against a a team that outplay you, we did today.
We have not been great but Everton have. Calvert-Lewin having a great game.
Welbeck doesn't look fit to me, perhaps Ferguson on.
Main issue is we have over committed and been caught out, Estupinan and Gross too far upfield and not getting back, tired passing on edge on Everton's area.
Got to...
Tired more than sloppy I thought.
Whatever happens we've had a great sesaaon, when Potter left I never thought we'd be where we are now.
It's almost FM level of acheivement, lets just enjoy where we are!
Serious?
Thin squad, at this level 2% makes a difference.
Forest executed an excellent press and deserved their win, sometimes with the football RDZ wants us to play it will go wrong, tonight was that night.
Well played Forest.
I thought we looked tired, Caceido especially, but lets not make excuses, Forest executed their game plan brilliantly.
Sometimes, with the way we play we'll be picked off, so be it, so much better to watch than whats gone before.
COYS.
And score goals, and set up goals!
And still find himself one of the first names on the team sheet under every manager he's played for.
And this demonstrates why I'm not a Premier league manager, a year or so ago, whilst lauding his achievements, I thought it was time to move on as I felt his...
Tough week, people at work trying to make their life easier by making mine diffiicult, a cancer scare that I'm still waiting on, and to top it all looks like I may lose my dog as his quality of life massively deteriorating, that was a tough visit to vet tonight.
But , I want to look on bright...
Put simply, 3 minutes scrutiny to disallow Mitoma's (perfectly good goal), 3 seconds to wave away a blatant penalty on Mitoma.
Ref was absolutely abysmal all game, VAR was something I really couldn't understand today.
Enciso, Ayari, Gilmour, Bonnnanotte to step up if injuries in midfield. Maybe not as seasoned as Mac and Caceido, but not a bad back up.
Remember Biss being injured and stress about who could replace him!
Rest easy, this club has it covered!
And Ayari, sleeping well tonight!
Overall one of our poorer performances in terms of flowing football.
But stuck in, saw it out.
Caceido and Steele absolutely top drawer, you saw what Enciso will bring!
The futures white, its blue and white!
