Murray didn't even come on until after at least an hour....Andone started I think. Worst thing about the game was our contiunally embarrassing hoofs upfield to no-one

You lot serious?! They beat us 1-0 in the 88th, having previously not dropped a point at their new home. Whichever way CH was trying to get a point in our hour of need, I was right behind him!!

Agreed and we were very good defensively - think Dunk was even given MoM which unusual for someone on the losing side - but the punting upfield to literally no-one was a bit excruciating at times.

As per normal the TV rescheduled game has to be the longest trip of the season, so home for about 2am

It had the feel of a 3rd division team turning up at a Premier League ground in a cup tie, parking the bus, and just "pluckily" hanging on for a replay. Not like a League game at all.

I'm not saying we should go to these places and go gung-ho, but I hope we've seen the back of those type of performances where from the 1st minute to the last we're just camped out across our own box.

Exactly....I know we had to do what we had to do, but at times we didn't even attempt to keep the ball or play it out

Just shows how much of a borefest we have become........I think the Spurs away game was a game in point. 300 men behind the ball and a bus pass holder up front as our outlet.

Potter's going to have to put in a very decent shift to shake our tag as The New Stoke, hanging around the PL like a bad smell.

I'm making a long weekend of this one. The late kick off (and live tv) will definately put a few off though.

Made a weekend of it last year and it was BRILLIANT (helped by the result). The fact its still on a Saturday is very tempting for a repeat, although a 5.30ko means I'll have to try and have my sensible head on a little bit in the afternoon. Spilling out of SJP on Saturday night straight into the city centre for some shandies and a curry ? Yeah, I can have some of that.

Sky and BT like Brighton.And like coming to the Amex regardless of those saying on here how woeful and miserable we were all last season.
we were thirteenth in the table for premier league games shown last season (13 games televised)
and also the several FA Cup games on BT/BBC.

So we weren’t miserable and woeful then?

Club site says Arsenal v Albion will be moved from Tue 3 Dec, because Arsenal are playing on the Sunday due to Europa League the previous week.

Might be wrong, but I reckon that match can only be moved to Wed 4 Dec, as Amazon Prime has the rights to show all fixtures that week (Tue/Wed).

Gonna be a very long trip to see my first Albion game in the Prem (not first in the top division). Still not sure if the 5.30 kick off is a bonus or not for socialising, but should make it easy to get a ticket! UTA!

You'll be out of the ground and in a pub or bar by 8 o'clock. The evening won't have got into full swing by then. This is the best away game of the season for me. Much much better than the Manchester or Liverpool clubs.

Could be Thursday 5th, as Amazon will be trying to show as many games as possible at different times and will almost certainly utilise the Thursday night.
