Brighton and Hove Albion V Ipswich Town ****Official Match Thread****

Thought we were lightweight in the challenge and easily go to ground, which was disappointing. Miss the physical challenges of Crofts and Barnes in the final third if we are to play one up front.
Yes, we did have a few chances, particularly wayward headers, but it's papering over the cracks. If we get some more options with CMS or Hoskins coming back in we will at least be able to adapt to different styles a bit better.
Unusually dodgy keeping from PIG but overall we certainly deserved a point today.
Hey-ho, can't win 'em all.

Today was the first time I have left the stadium feeling let down. We seem to be playing for a draw in the hope of snatching something at home. It seemed that in the first 45 minutes 20 of those seemed to be watching Thomaz standing with the ball at his feet, Bruno taking his time over throw ons and Greer playing the ball backwards. Those around us thought it would take the other team to score before we showed any urgency. Unfortunately that was in the 60th minute and the 2nd goal killed us off. If we started home games faster and scored early you feel we would go on to win games easier. We seem to be putting pressure on ourselves with a slow build up from the back. Having said that we have the best defensive record in the league. Not getting the ball forward quick enough and an inability to shoot on sight also means we are one of the lowest scorers in the league. Bit of a conundrum really. Would liked to have seen Stephens play instead of Andrews especially as he was supposedly MOM against Bolton. Still in Oscar we trust and hopefully we will still make the play-offs. Losing today and results going against us, the Sheffield game is now bigger than it needed to be.

Any sort of win mate. Defeat on Tuesday night, our season may be over.

When was the last time we won there?

Just because we have not won there before, does not mean we cant win on Tuesday. They have nothing to play for.

We've got some good players but a crap coach who ruins it with overly negative tactics at home
