    I watched the highlights of the Reading game and their left wide attacker is quick and tricky (Olise?). If Dabo is to play, he will have to be careful not to get caught too high up the pitch, as Reading's main threat seems to be quick counter attacking. Joao has had a great start to the season...

    If we get a lot of balls played into our box, any keeper will have the odd fumble. Marosi is not an issue (except in passing some balls to our defenders when teams are pressing) Plenty of people whimpering to be fair

    I thought the defender did well to be fair to him - great tracking - I was out of my seat trying to force it over the line at the time! On a side note - and I shouted for it at the time - although he shouldn't have dribbled with it, for the first goal I thought it was a definite foul on...

    Glad he didn't sugar coat it. Fair assessment.

    I'll take 3-1 (after one over)

    If you think about it. the Championship now is a lot stronger than it used to be, as the PL has filled up with foreign players and a lot of old PL standard players have filtered down into the Championship. Fans need to stay patient (fat chance!) and 4th from bottom will do just fine (although if...

    If Shippers had Hamer's aggression he'd be a very good Championship player. He has technique and vision, but he needs to attack the ball and show a desire to win 40/60 balls, which he really struggles to do - and his challenges often result in a cheap free kick to the opposition. Like the guy...

    Think he'd only last 20 to 30 mins at best. Still, if we could get him fit he wouldn't get knocked off the ball like a lot of the rest of the midfield. We would be desperate if we were relying on him being the difference though!

    To be fair, don't think there are many who can't see the issues that currently exist. We need our management to organise and motivate the players. Saturday I was annoyed with one individual. Tonight we didn't play well and didn't have an effective attacking thread, but one decision by the...

    We signed O'Hare too. Apparently there have been some restrictions with the budget this season, Can't remember why, but I'm sure someone will remember why.

    Looking a bit toothless - feel sorry as they dug in, and that first goal looked like a foul on our player too me - so should have been a free kick. The second goal was because we'd gone shit or bust and went bust. Free kick given for the first and we'd have got a just about deserved draw...

    That's why we're not getting up the pitch. One break from Giles.]. where he played it back instead of across for Shipley's run.

    How they've only lost one game (Watford) is baffling - although we've looked like creating little to be fair, so if I was one of their fans i'd not be too concerned. Surely we'll create more this half? Still take 0-0 though (even if I've paid to watch it!!)

    I want you to cheer up Brighton - you seem to be on a bit of a downer lately. Accentuate the positive and all that!

    Always 0-0 when we kick off. Unless it's a Man City/top notch outfit, I'm always relatively positive at ko time.

    It might happen, but I'd be bl**dy disappointed in that - I want us to make at least a fist of it, even should we get turned over. I will press the mental reset button regardless of what happens, but really want to rebuild confidence after Saturday, and before we face Reading on Friday night.
