Haynes tries too much and gives it away when he could have put it in the box

There is no disputing we are way too defensive for our own good at times

We need to get back to basics and sop being so negative.

Baldock to make it four but too casual with his shot that rattled the bar

We should have biamou, jch and ponti stood on their last man. Our shape hasn't changed but players have.

Look how much they don't like it up 'em now. We were always gonna struggle today but it's just a pity we didn't have a real go at them before the game was effectively over. This will always be a 'What if' game for me.

JCH in the box wide of goal, gets power behind his cross, deflected off a defender, keeper smothers at second attempt

Looking at what Swansea did to Notts County, I'd take 3-1. Disappointing performance (JCH apart) but it was always going to be tough today.
Besides, we have far bigger League fish to fry.

I can understand a team like us being cautious first half , but 2-0 down and coming out for the second half it would have been nice to just go at them for 45 and hope for the best

Yeah, exactly. Left it too late to have a go. Just find us frustrating to watch. So negative.

Frying some minnows would be a good start

We do it against teams like forest green Rovers though, not just Brighton

Robins doesn’t really have the luxury in the league anymore of trying to defend and nick goals , we need to start ruining teams from the get go.
We do have it in us , so there is no excuse I’ve seen it happen multiple times when we go at teams

Houghton said we only started to play at 3-0 down and should have been braver sooner.

It's an easy thing to say - not so easy to do. They bossed us first half 2-0, then drew 2nd half, so can't say we threw in the towel - important that our pride remains intact

The players are following managerial instructions , robins is the one that holds these back

They should watch us every week when we don't bother until we are losing and even then it's about 70 minutes.

Sometimes we don't at all.

Big positive is JCH performance
Hope he's not crocked
Bank the takings and get focused for the run in.

Robins needs to get in training to play to his strengths. We need to work on giving him and mcnulty things to work with.

Mcnulty barely had a touch.

We need to be getting the ball in the box, at pace for them. Look how many times Brighton did it..

to be honest we let them play 1st half. Bit nervous but didn't change the shape to deal with the width.
Outplayed by a Prem side but always the same with us that you see things that make you think this could be a good side.

Disappointed to be honest, Like the commentator said we should have been braver earlier.

First half we looked nervous and just let them come at us.

We need to sort our midfield out, Dropping to deep and then side ways and back passes.

Positives is JCH is looking good.


I assume the ref dint want to book anyone today and was happy to give fouls for 50/50's
