Brighton look nervous and tentative.

They just keeping inviting Wolves onto them and then when they do get it, they've dropped so deep that they just can't get out

You don't like our only tactic Paul?

No wonder he can’t get a manager’s job, can he not see what we’re doing.

Hughton has send the lads out to do a job, which in the first half they’ve carried out to the letter.

Im sorry but wtf is up with Izzy? freaking horrible first half. dead asleep on the defensive end too. if we aren't going to let the wingers attack, then why use them? Play a back 3 with two winger backs and play for the draw.

About 90 mins playing time in 5 months?

He has been awful and does not look interested. Might as well put Burn on the left wing

Agreed, and on the odd foray into oppsition half was quick to get back

Did you notice him talking to himself as he was preparing to come on, repeatedly saying 'don't cross the halfway line, or I'll get my pay docked!'


Instantly look better for having Kayal in the team .
As predicted by pretty much everyone on nsc

For all their slick movement have Wolves actually tested Ryan? 45 min + added time of the same, please.

Exactly.

Wolves are amazing at counter attacking when they have space; first priority, don’t give them any space and we haven’t. Plenty of posters are too simple to work that out.

Half time analysis (in my opinion): Shocking attempt to play negative football. Why was Bernardo dropped? Thank God Kayal is on the pitch. Why are we playing 6-3-1? Why did it take 34 minutes to even have more players in their half? Why am I cringing at the commentator and pundit (Matt Holland I think) literally mocking us? Why can't we do ball retention? What happened, as promised by Chris Hughton, to expansive football, this was his promise last summer. Shocking to watch the demise of a football team. The three who came up, away from home, so far Fulham, lost, Cardiff, lost, what now? Oh but the second season is so much more difficult.

Awful to watch but needs must. Worries me that we don’t even pressure them when they’re 15-20 yards inside our half though... can just see one of Wolves’ more creative players picking off a pass to win it.

This makes me angry not as an Albion, but a football fan. Our tactics are a slap in the face of the beautiful game.
