This co commentator on NBC is an absolute tool. No idea about the Albion. Apparently we have no pace in the front line or midfield and an accurate long ball from Dunk is highly unusual ....

Spotted that. Even the compliment ended with a barbed remark about not all our passes being in our own half. If Citeh scored a goal after 30 odd passes the pundits would purr about it all weekend but there's a whiff of the dull about it if it comes from little old Brighton.

Similarly, the ball that just went out of play before we could cross it back into the box was airily dismissed as "clearly out" when it seemed marginal at best (well it was on my less than HD stream).

Unconscious bias isn't simply an issue pertaining to racism. It's all about us all the time. For example, I automatically dismiss anything originating from Croydon. The pundits probably don't even reason they're doing it but they sure as hell are.

Whatever the eventual result here, the quality of our play thus far augurs very well for the season.
