Okay, so you've given up the argument. Facts are on my side. Look at the stats. Ignoring that, outside the two goals, Kuszczak didn't make a save. Not sure, even if you count it as two shots on target, you're original argument is backed up.

Look at the stats. An own goal does not count as a shot on target.

Even their fans don't think that. How can you make a team look "seriously second best" yet only have one shot on target (from a penalty) all game? Bizarre!

All sounds great but younger proven quality players with pace cost a lot of money (if their team will let them go). We are forced to take gambles on young/older players rather than go for players in their prime generally.

If you seriously believe Poyet would have got us up then you know more than he did. Didn't he leave the club as he'd said we'd hit a ceiling (which clearly meant he didn't think we were going to go further). This was before we'd had a bad summer with the whole Poyet issues and lost the most...

Which is fair enough except for how lucky your second goal was. You can't legislate for that. And it looks like we should have had a penalty. We're due a bit of luck on Sunday. We've played you three times this season and each time you've been a bit lucky to win by one goal.

That's fine. I'd settle for a repeat of Leicester away!

I find it quite funny that there are two people on here calling for Malky Mackay (the one you quote and the other one who setup a whole thread for Mackay, Hughton and Clarke) yet neither of them can spell his name. I suppose that says a lot about them.

What a load of rubbish. I can't think of many teams who would lose by 1 goal in the first leg of a play off and then have their fans suggest the manager should be sacked.

It's hard to believe anyone could think this. I understand why people don't find it the most exciting football to watch but to say more positive football would have got us in the play offs weeks ago is a ridiculous assumption. It's quite simple. We have got in the top 6 based on our defence...

That's an impressive way to misread the situation. Let's be honest, it's pretty clear that if the pros/cons of leaving the EU were laid out and that we were going to lose a lot of money from trade, most people would be in favour of staying in the EU. As there's not been a clear set of pros/cons...

But how much publicity do the pro EU side get? All the focus is on immigration in the press and the problems of the EU. You never see any reasons for staying in. As for the trade block, I think it probably is all in or nothing. I'm not an expert about the EU but I'm reasonably informed about...

I don't like UKIP and I'm strongly opposed to their policies. However, the thing that really bothers me is that it is now seems like it is bad to be pro EU. The simple fact is that there has never been an attempt to have a fair debate about the EU. The press, on the whole, are anti so all we...

Fair enough. I don't agree with any of that but it's not worth arguing about any more

I wasn't. I was born that year. But it's not been awful. Frustrating at times, yes but there's only been a few games where I'd say it was terrible. I'm sure given the chance to bring in his own players, he will be more attacking next year

Why? I support Brighton (not football). Would you rather win scrappily 1-0 or lose a classic 4-3?

Except you're not looking at it fairly. You seem to ignore that we've lost a lot of what helped us play to Ulloa's strengths. I don't think it can be pointed out enough how much we've missed Orlandi. He was key to Poyet's system and Lopez worked well with him. Without them we've struggled with...

Does this mean you would prefer us to be bottom having entertained more? Personally, I go to Brighton matches to see us win. Yes, I want to be entertained but I'd rather win an awful 1-0 than lose a great 4-3. That's what most people who support a team say. Do you disagree?

Not really. It happened under Poyet e.g. Watford away two seasons ago. I'm sure you justified it then. Maybe just try to look at it fairly.

Probably the most pointless thread ever. Ignoring the fact that Middlesbrough had something to play for against us and not tonight, I'm sure there are plenty of examples you could use where we did better than Reading. Complete reactionary rubbish! Oh and following it up with some mind games...
