Team fighting for Jonesy, NSC fighting.....

45 mins was dreadful. The next 45 was better. Exciting? not really.

As I said earlier in the week, Calde, even after he hangs his boots up must be kept on by the club as players like him come along once in a blue moon

100% this... That man should have a job here for life, he just inspires everybody would be a great club ambassador

Alright, grumpy.

What a result! Vaulting from 23rd to 23rd.

Actually went from 22nd. to 23rd. (Wigan overtook us by winning, something we can't buy at the moment). At least there seems to have been a bit of fight again.

As pleasing as the fight backs in our last two games have been, this is the fundamental problem. We need to find lots of points, FAST, but from where?

Only 11 Home games remaining along with 12 Away.

One would have thought that taking no less than 6 points out of the 9 available against Birmingham, Leeds and Huddersfield would be vital.

That said, Blackpool will be obviously be targeting 3 points against us at home on Sat 31st January.

12 of our 20 points have come from our 12 home games - just a point a game - and only 8 points coming from our 11 away games.


If we're not winning at home, it's going to be very difficult...


Home:
Brentford (5th)
Ipswich (2nd)
Nottingham Forest (9th)
Birmingham (16th)
Leeds (20th)
Derby (3rd)
Wolves (13th)
Norwich (7th)
Bournemouth (1st)
Huddersfield (19th)
Watford (6th)

Most overrated player at Brighton i've known for years is Paddy. At least Jones is being positive.

CMS shirley takes the overrated prize?

I don't think he's as over-rated as people think.
In other words, even his being over-rated, is over-rated.

Was anyone in the park and ride queues? Amazing stuff. I saw four people pass out, but would imagine it ended up worse than that. Sure it will all be on here...

Missed that.

 

[British Bulldog]

Could'nt get to the game today so what tactics did we employ? Did we play the full backs as wingers or defenders? Was it 433? 4231 or4123 or what? Just interested in what Jones thought was best.

 

[portslade seagull]

What a result! Vaulting from 23rd to 23rd.

You can see the difference binning Hyypia made!

Yeah we would have lost today, go back to Selhurst

 

[perseus]

It was always going to be a 1-1 draw and it was for the late arrivers and early leavers.

My overall memory will be the weather. Soaked and cold. (And I forgot to put a bet on Hull to beat Sunderland.)

What a load of rubbish. Sitting in North Stand Upper, dead as a dodo up here. Watching terrible terrible Albion performance. Their goalie hasn't touched the ball yet. Reading aren't that good!

North Stand Upper? Really?

Nice and dry up there? Weather was terrible in East Lower.
