To have dropped 10 pts this early in the season is an awful stat.

Is it just down to the players not been good enough, or is it a problem with our tactics?

Very interesting, but no surprise.

Mainly inexperience and tiredness I think with not being able to rest players.

How have Brighton done that!!! Even 5 extra points would look good right now. Lack of experience on how to close a game out and now getting into bad habits.

That doesn't include the 2 points dropped when lukas hit row zz with the last minute against reading!

It does Stupot as we were in the lead agaianst Reading ,its Fifty /fifty really ,inexperience ,and reluctance or inability to make the change ,against palace zaha came on and the fullbacks were too knackered to cope ,similar on saturday with Christie legs gone against stanislas

personally its not seeing the result out! u had players who could come on against palace and on sat, why didnt he make the changes!!! i think Thorn needs more help off the pitch, IF he is to stay as mananger!!!

Doh - I'd forgotten we'd taken the lead!

I don't think the 5 subs rule helps either, although AT seems reluctant to use them only having four outfield subs is quite limiting - not that we have a large squad or much strength in depth waiting in the wings but options all the same.

whatever it is it definitely isn't Thorns fault

lack of mental strength that has plagued us for years now

Being the cup half full kinda fan that I am I think this says that we cant be too far off, we are lacking strenght though and we all know that,nd not subbing Christie on Sat was just bloody silly.

Have you ever thought that if a cup is half full then it's a long time until you get another, but if it's half empty you're nearer to the next beer? Which really seems more positive. Or not?

I see what your getting at there, but what if the glass was half full of piss? What then?

Probably taste like piss I would imagine then it would be shit, need I go on.

I prefer to think of it being half full of somthing rather pleasent like single malt then it blocks out all the pain of the piss and shit I am watching on the pitch.
