[Brighton Sky Blue]

Disappointing to drop off after taking a deserved early lead. Playing ourselves into trouble a bit and just too loose defensively.

Wright fully justifying his selection though, best player first half.

We really need that central midfielder who can come and help give support to the full backs when we've lost possession, Grimes does not do it at all

 

[Shannerz]

That was extremely frustrating.

Excellent start, crisp passing, but defensively so insecure; they look lik an accident waiting to happen. Dasilva in particular is giving me kittens.

Stupid goal to give away; Rudoni looking for a cheap free kick when everyone knows refs are allowing greater physicality this season. It's just stupid.

 

[Ashdown]

Sadly Rudoni has completely disrupted our team game ever since he came back.

Agreed, Wright had a good half.

 

[baldy]

Haji hand back the cap, it's Rudoni's turn to be scapegoat of choice

With good reason though

 

[Chris1987]

It's not as if tonight is a dip in performance from Rudoni. He's just not at the races

 

[Evo1883]

Get torp on at HT push eccles into rudonis slot

Because our midfield goes to shit with rudoni marking the corner flag so we are wide open.

 

[shmmeee]

Thought we’ve been OK. Started like us of old ended like us of new. Overall: ok

 

[Jamesimus]

A draw would be a decent result in the context of the weekend result.

However, after watching that, it looks like one of our more “winnable” games so I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get the three points.

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Lati's passing in the first 90 seconds

Agree he just can't pass a ball can he.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

If we fail to win today it’ll be the 6th time this season we’ve not won after going ahead and the 4th time since the start of December.

 

[procdoc]

We scored and then went shit

 

[Shannerz]

We need to be winning home games.

With 2 away games coming id really like us to win today

 

[no_loyalty]

Rudoni is struggling, give him another 10 minutes and if he is still playing poorly make the change.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Just seen the replay. Rudoni is never getting a foul for that and flopped to the ground

 

[covmutley]

A half of 2 halfs. Games there for the taking, and we now have the bench to deliver.

But I wouldn't be surprised if we conceded another?

 

[Cally Fedora]

Not sure how anyone has watched that and is laying blame on anyone in the front 4. We’re shambolic at the back and we were warned 3 times before they scored. We’ve easily got enough to win but crikey we are so easy to score against

 

[CovveeBreak]

When we played free flowing fearless attacking football, Rudi was a dream.

We have now been found out - so bringing stability to our central midfield is just so needed now.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Acres of space down our left when Milwall attack.

 

[Jamesimus]

We need to be winning home games.

I don’t disagree. But what if we win our next away game? How would you like that?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We need to really be at it in the 2nd half. Millwall been told to hit us on the counter because we’re hopefully exposed at time. Need tighten up again.

 

[procdoc]

Because our midfield goes to shit with rudoni marking the corner flag so we are wide open.

He doesn’t need to drift out wide even. We have Mason Clark and Esse occupying those positions, Rudi just gets in the way

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Good start, then lost intensity after scoring and let them back in.

Give Rudoni 10 mins and if no improvements bring on BTA (or Torp). Good we have options on the bench for all three front players if we want to change it up.

 

[Jamesimus]

With 2 away games coming id really like us to win today

I think I would also prefer a win actually, I’ve changed my mind.

Correct - but it didn’t help that the attack started from Rudoni flopping down because a Millwall player looked at him

 

[Cally Fedora]

And we need to stop hitting the deck for no reason. It’s puts us under so much pressure

 

[Cally Fedora]

Correct - but it didn’t help that the attack started from Rudoni flopping down because a Millwall player looked at him

Granted

 

[covcity4life]

Frustrating cos we started really well. Esse looks dangerous

Rudoni lati and JDS not having good games

All to play for second half

 

[SkyBlueAussie]

JDS and Eccles our best players that half. Esse needs to come off as he seems to have forgotten he's on a yellow card and is making dodgy tackles still. Wright playing ok. Tats and Torp on soon. Rudi having a bit of a mare.

 

[Shannerz]

How would you like that?

I'd be very pleased!

JDS missing his header was horrendous. He largely did okay the rest of the half.
