I think Brighton feel THEY conceded 2 poor/soft goals too... an scrappy deflection off the keeper and an o.g!

Their 2nd goal was a peach to be fair .. but Vic definitely shoulda got more of a hand to it... THEN we'd have seen if it was so unstoppable or not!

Congrats to 5 Live for completing my own personal Football Cliché Bingo with their 'Good game for the neutral' comment at the end.

Honestly, anyone who loves football doesn't give a shit about the neutral! As if we're only playing the game for THEM!

Imagine if someone with a stunning wife conceded that anyone and everyone can gawp at her, because she's a "Good looking wife for the neutral" ...fuck off and get your OWN wife!

Anyway, I digress.... 0-2 to 2-2... They'll be more pissed off with letting it slip...

Just a shame we couldn't finish the job like THEY did last season !🙄

What was more frustrating for us was that the Brighton goals came early against the run of play. If only we had finished the comeback job, but can’t have any complaints about the outcome and an away point at Brighton.

Kudus , man/cyborg of the match.

Udogie was our best player in pretty much every EL knockout game on our run to the Trophy last year?

The kid is just a genuine baller - he was brilliant when fit for Ange and will be just as brilliant for Frank.

Does that mean TTFE could play Spence on the right and give Porto a break.?

I think that's a decent point.

We usually struggle against Brighton for some reason, and from what I've heard we played well and both their goals came against the run of play. Excellent fight back.

I'll take that all day long, that is the kind of point that could earn us top 4. Don't underestimate it.

Yeah, we played really well, overall.

Having watched the replay, I thought we played well and were the better team. The first goal was definitely against the run of play. I don’t blame odo for losing the ball but he failed to go with Minteh and our midfield we’re a bit opal over the place. Vic should’ve done better for the second.

HK is going to love playing with Kudus and Simmons next season.

Not sure why people are so shocked. I dont rate Frank. Never have, never will. So not going to be disingenuine and start fawning over him. Do I want him to fail? Absolutely not because it means we've failed but I'm not going to give him a free pass.

As for yesterday. I said I'd take a point before the game so pleased we didnt fold after going two down. Many a Spurs team would have lost that game three or four nil. But do need to question being two down in the first place. Both goals easily avoidable and well drilled teams don't concede those.

Must win game next Saturday. If we dont get 3 points it will be another season of mid table mediocrity.
 
Couldn’t make the match yesterday due to my beloved family. Looks like we played OK. Second goal looks like a Vic howler. From that far out, surely you have the time to deal with it better, and he showed weak hands in any case. If anyone was behind the goal to see better, I wouldn’t mind a view. Obviously good to come back, but we should be looking to beat teams like Bournemouth and Brighton. They may both be decent, but we have better players and better squad depth. We need to raise the bar in terms of our expectations and demands throughout the club or we’ll never get a consistent winning mentality.

I didn't want Frank either, I was so hoping we'd sign Glasner instead so I understand your point of view.

That said this team is a world away from where it was last season.
