***Leeds United V Brighton And Hove Albion OFFICIAL Match Thread***

[pasty]

He gave us a penalty, which is more than most would have today.

What a brilliant result, if you'd offered me 1-1 this morning I would have taken that and I'll take it now. Gutting, we didn't deserve that last minute nail through the heart but that's football and it's typical of how it goes for the better teams. We've been robbed, but we went to Leeds and played brilliantly.

I'm proud of the team for the first time in a long while.

Know what you're saying. I can't quite get my head round being so mightily pissed off at drawing 1-1 away at Leeds though.

 

[Working class pride]

5 minutes extra time and sending a player off. We could have had another pen in first half so they say. Big club bollocks reffing again? Still palace lost

 

[doug7126]

i am so gutted but a point at leeds is one we might need come the end of the season we will just have to make the other games count now

 

[Meade's Ball]

arse-biscuits.
El-Abd, i imagine, will be centre-half for Tuesday at Charlton. Hmmm.
Still, have to be proud of ourselves to get a draw at Leeds.

 

[Northstander]

Well done Albion, a cracking point, but I am gutted we didnt get the fuckin 2!!

 

[brightonmad999]

we should of had all 3 points and we must of switched off to give snograss the time to score

 

[fleet]

Better than going from 1 up to 2-1 down like last week!

 

[murraymints4brighton]

So 2 points from the last 2 games and I would have taken that before however it is the way we have lost them, going in front and chucking it away with poor defending and sending's off.

As the commentator said "Albion deserved the 3 points, we were robbed today"

1 point from the last two games despite being ahead in both of them.

 

[murraymints4brighton]

1 point from the last two games despite being ahead in both of them.

Well yes and I just don't accept the results just because of who we were playing. They are in our league, they may on paper and statistically be better than us, but it is football and we have to hold on in order to stay up.

 

[The Truth]

1 point may sound good at Elland rd but infact for us its 2 points dropped when you take a look at our form at home. Disaster result looking at how close we were. But same old Brighton, clumsy mistake, this time a foul, down to 10 men, fail at the last hurdle in trying to sustain gung-ho pressure. We cearly need a good experienced centre-back who knows how to deal with these situations and avoids fatal sending offs. Still haven't recovered from losing Butters really. Virgo's supposed to be now the leading defender, the one who does the orders and man-marks the oppositions top striker. Really seems to be doing the opposition favours more than anything else this season. I feel this needs to be the last straw for Albions case.

We've been linked with strikers and wingers but surely we are dying out for a defender?

 

[Notters]

1 point from the last two games despite being ahead in both of them.

Did you need to repeat what he said, in less detail?

Get Tunnicliffe back NOW

 

[poidy]

I feel physically sick after that..absolutely gutted!! We only had 20 seconds to hold out and we would have been sat nicely in 17th and now we're f***ing 3rd bottom. I hope this last minute sickener dont affect the lads on Tuesday because each and every game now is massive. We are running out of games fast. March will determine whether we stay up or not. They are all winable games on paper but the lads need to start doin the business. Roll on Tuesday

 

[doug7126]

that is 5 points dropped in the last 20 mins of football i am so gutted feel like we been relegated already!

Two red cards a season is par of Adam Virgo

A 6 ft 2" coming in at speed is a dangerous assailant.

 

[BensGrandad]

Leadiing 1 - 0 going into injury time did Gus bring 'our best defender' Adam El Abd on to hang on to 3 points.

 

[Essan128]

At the final whistle it felt like we had been defeated.
But for 170 out of 180 minutes of football, we have been beating the top two teams in the league. If only we could hold on in the last 10 minutes of a game!

Leeds fans were predicting a 3 or 4 nil win, so taking a point doesn't feel too bad.

Just remember how close the league positions are down at the bottom. 16th one minute, then 22nd the next.

We will stay up!
