I dont feel we will get thrashed as i feel the players on the pitch have the passion and commitment to not get thrashed, it may be backs to the wall but i dont think it will be panic stations. With Greer and Dunk as the core we will have at least stalwart Brighton players, perhaps bring in Calde at the back for his defensive capabilities, however i thought Bruno looked good today and would be worth sticking with. It might be worth fielding a more forceful midfield to try and disrupt the play against Forest, bring back some of our dirty play from the first season at the Amex and try and grind a result. I must say i miss the reds, yellows and dirty challenges from our first season, it really gave you something to get behind besides a goal or good bit of play.

I fear for us against Burton.
The ones who were here did perform, and the ones who weren't are better than the ones Garcia had at his disposal. Our team is significantly better than last season and yet our performances and results significantly worse.

A 10 point gap after only 8 games between us suggest otherwise though doesn't it.
We were murdered by Brentford at times last week. Don't be so naive
Are you scared of the dark too?
We've got a good(ish) squad on paper. Trouble is, the game's played on grass, not on paper..........and it ain't played on Youtube either!

There were plenty of positives. Our finishing just wasn't one of them.

We weren't. It was an average performance considering the opposition, especially in the first half.
I've been hearing this for the last two season. Even when Gus was here we would have lots of possession, lots of shots, but rarely score. "Will be batter someone soon" was said every week. At the time I believed it. The problem is Hyypia looks like he hasn't got a clue about tactics - players seem to float around without any real idea of what their role in the team is.
Nothing to say about this. We're just not. Lots of teams in this division have much, much better teams. I think your blue tinted glasses are coming into play here.

Lose in the cup against Burton plus only 1 or 2 points picked up in the next three League games (Cardiff , Forest , Watford) and Sami's head will be on the chopping block.
Murdered by Brentford, did you actually see it - clearly not.
The football we are playing will result in a very high finish this season.
We have 11 new players to integrate.
Patience is a virtue.
Obviously some of you don't have it.
No but I know a poor team when I see one and I saw two today.

Not until the final 20 minutes there wasn't. We didn't do anywhere near enough for the first 70 or so - as evidenced by the fact Blackpool didn't even have to make any fouls in their own half until LuLu came on. - then 4 yellow card in 8 minutes or so....we were gash today and the front 3's lack of penetration is really worrying.
Good place to learn the basics for some people though!!!
Bloody Hell, the queue for your pie must have been huge.
You clearly didn't get to see any of the match until the 70th minute.
I'd complain to the Stand Manager if I were you.

Alright, we get it. You think you're a footballing God. All your comments smack of arrogance. It's a shame Brighton didn't consider your job application because you're clearly the most knowledgeable person here

I didn't see the first half. But from my view of the live stream, we looked dangerous all of the second half and created a load of chances.

Yes, I was f****** there.
Brentford pissed all down our left side whilst Bennett was at the other end of the pitch casually strolling back to defend.

Brentford had us totally sussed out and exploited a gung ho attitude to defending. They slaughtered us and could have scored six or seven.
