The Sky commentators said it and I think they're spot on - Murray could be the difference this season.

A good comeback from Brighton and it feels that 1-1 is about the right score.
I think Brighton will be the happier as I couldn't see where a goal was coming from until that superb strike by Murray.
This game is a nailed on 1-1 draw, Both sides look defensively solid despite both having already scored.

I broke the sound barrier getting back from Watford to watch this game.

I think FFS has pulled our nuts out of the fire. We've looked dozy and slow so far. Hopefully CH will sort us out now.

We need to come out stronger in the second half. Could have been at least 2 down before the equalizer with our usual brick wall defence looking uncharacteristically shaky. Knocky seems off-colour and Skalak being held in check on the left leaves a lot for Murray and Baldock to do.
I agree. Fantastic goal but we look a bit all over the place before that. Fingers crossed for a better second half and put a bit more pressure on them. Come on you seagulls.
That's true but I think you're over dramatising it a bit if you think we need to up our game to stay in contention for the top two. We need to up our game to win this match, yes. But we'd beat some teams comfortably playing at this level. To be honest I just think we need to switch tactics. I'd be tempted to take off a winger and play Norwood as Villa seem to be doing a job on our centre midfield.

Has his mind elsewhere, i would imagine it would be so hard for him. Don't really blame him for not really being with it.

True but we need to win games like this if we want to be in the top two...
No, no we don't. VILLA need to win games like this of they want to be the top 2. We are still 2nd on Monday even if we lose.

Villa have threatened twice in the opening moments of the 2nd half. If we can find a way of winning this it would be a brilliant result as Villa are looking one of the most solid sides we've seen this season.
