Glass half empty

Fully agree , if i had a choice to be concerned about creating a lot of chances and not taking them or creating a few chances and taking them thus winning 3 out of 4 played i know which way i would go !

Just imagine if we could create a lot of chances once learning to take them.

I admire your confidence, but even as a card carrying member of #TeamDuffman I'm not seeing it myself.

As others have said, since his renaissance, I'm also of the opinion the team has missed Duffy's presence in games like Burnley and Brentford away.
They weren't getting those points, last season, without a player eager to get down and dirty with the opposition.

It's hard to think Lukaku, or Vardy for that matter, will be losing much sleep prior to playing against the big man.

I replied to [MENTION=19]Icy Gull[/MENTION] after the Ireland game that we'd need Duffy today to deal with Toney. Brentford are big and organised, very much this season's Sheffield Utd Season One. Keep a clean sheet and you've always got a point and a good chance of three.

In CH season one we got more points than our squad quality deserved using pragmatism and targeting games. Last season we dropped more points than our football deserved through playing poorly against bad teams. If this season is going to take the best elements of both I'm very happy with that - and that means that at times we will need Dunk, Dufffy and Sanchez to do a good, old fashioned cleaning out job.

It used to be Seagulls Player back in the Championship.

I was very aware of Seagulls Player and I knew it was a paid for service, I’m goosed if I knew you could listen for free now.

Dramatic reduction on Twitter today in posts calling club out for racism and predicting relegation

For some reason.....

 

[Weststander]

It's amazing, considering our chance creation has been so low. We've been taking our chances.

Polar opposite of last season. We can speculate why we are taking our chances this season- practice, tactics, good fortune, or a combination of these?

But at the same time, our chance creation is now very low and it is a concern. Again, we can speculate why that is. In part, I don't think we have played very well for much of this season so far - in addition I believe Potter's gone more direct and the side is adapting to that, but also losing White and replacing him with Duffy is a factor.

or, turning that on its head …. how good we might be, when we’re playing great football again.

Any news on Webster’s injury? Hamstring, 2 months out if we’re lucky?

 

[dstanman]

Just back from the game and still buzzing about the 3 points. Maybe not the best performance but chances are that’s 2 away games we might not of picked up points from last season. Great to see Tony in the stand and seeing him take the time to go down to the disabled supporter and have a photo with him.

Any photos of Bloom when we scored

Full credit to our fans, sounded amazing on the stream and on Seagulls Player when stream went down once! [emoji122]

You get to watch all the 3pm games in the US!

All the Prem games are split between NBC and Peacock (NBC's separate streaming service). It's a pain getting both.

A lot of Brighton matches were on Peacock which is about $10 a month or less, I forget.

So I'd watch some on Peacock and some on the dodgy sites.

 

[phoenix]

Never in any doubt, well done lads!!!

Nice backtracking.

This.

I'm pleased with the results we've got, but I think we all know we are capable of playing a lot better. I'm not sure that in 4 games so far we've come close to the heights of last season, playing wise

Yup. I have a box thingie that gives me Sky Sports, BT Sports and a gazillion international sports channels. To save any faff in looking for a game, there’s even a section for the Premier League, where it gives you a choice of three live channels for every single game. There are also similar dedicated sections so you can watch every MTL and Championship game too.

A stream went down? I'm surprised no one came on here asking for an alternative.

It had 0-0 all over it with both teams cancelling each other out. As frustrating as Trossard can be, he does have that extra bit of quality to push us over the 3 points finishing line. We’ve been on the receiving end of PL defeats against unspectacular yet clinical opponents so nice to turn the table. Enjoyable away day.
