Brighton Home 2-2 Post Match Thread

[Pliskin]

I thought a point was fair, and I didn’t think the performance was all that bad. 
 

Brighton in all fairness didn’t impress me a great deal, they didn’t create hat fulls of chances, and I felt we didn’t defended badly as a defensive unit either. 
 

The first goal for me could have been avoided had Lamptey been closed down, you can’t just let a decent player have a pop unchallenged like that. 
 

You can see there are some nice passages of play, we’re trying to build properly, and I didn’t think we were too uncomfortable today playing out from the back, one or two moments but on the whole it was okay. 
 

What let us down today, was the midfield and the width. We missed Buonanottes energy and ability to press, which took something away from the attack, and Soumare had some good moments and then some horrific moments, he still has poor all round awareness and allows players to dun past him too easily, but then again he showed some moments of strong midfield play. We suffered when Ndidi went off, I thought he looked really good today, back to his old self! And Skipp was finally an abomination when he came on, he’s dog shit. 
 

The two goals we scored were good passages of play, and I think we deserved a point in all honesty, there were some good signs today, there’s an identify starting to come back, and with the return of the likes of Winks and Buonnanotte, we should be alright! 
 

Ayew was also disgusting today, just offered absolutely **** all, so I can see him disappearing once Ruud starts to build the team he wants. 
 

We’re a few agreed January signings away from being comfortable in my opinion. 
 

Happy with 4 points from two games, and there’s signs of things going in the right direction.

Weirdos still moaning about people leaving early.

What if we all left on 78 minutes?

is that right? Think you're a bit weird leaving early when you call yourself a supporter

It’s none of your business what people do. Just do you.

Bournemouth with two late goals as well.  Our margin over Ipswich actually grows.

Just hoping that the same three who went up last season finish in the same ascending order but that obviously we do so over the dotted line!

We weren't at it today, yet never were we outplayed. The patterns of play are getting stronger and more engrained. Kristiansen continues to improve

Skipp was an abomination. dogshit ?

That’s  harsh 

[FrankieADZ]

tbf i thought we did alright, played well in spell, of course Brighton were the better for the most part but expected

dont think Ayew is a starter, has to be Mav

but we look alot more organised and have an identity too

promising early signs

 

 

[Clever Fox]

We were a little fortunate with the draw in that we had 3 shots on target all game and scored 2 goals.

The best part of it was despite being outplayed for most of the game we kept chipping away hoping something would happen for us.

Coady done well along with Vesty. VK nearly laid on another goal but was poor for the second goal.

NDiddi and Soumare done well protecting the back 4 but lacked support from Ajew and El Kanousse at times.

I thought Ajew was the right choice to replace Facundo but he was awful the first half. He offered nothing in defence and nothing going forward.

El Kanousse was very good today but he needs to protect the ball better when in possession, And try and be a little more physical in challenges.

Vardy never gave up despite having little of the Ball all game but came up trumps when needed again.

Mav is struggling a little lately but never gives up which is a big plus as you never wuite know what he's going to do in possession.

But it was  his constant pushing and probing which helped with the breakthrough.

All in All , More work needed but a Draw is a good result as points are what we need more of.

[winteriscoming]

4 points from these 2  home games we don’t get if Coopers in charge. 
Go on Ruud!!!! 
Vardy incredible especially for the second goal.

I have an opinion, I'll comment on what I want, many share my view.

 

Don't want to cheer on the side making a contribution to the atmosphere, 100 minutes of football an inconveniance, give up your ST for those wanting to support the team, there's a waiting list.

[HowardsBulletHeader]

Even at 2-0 down I was still fairly encouraged by the performance, yes we didn't create a lot, our ball into the final third really let us down for the majority of the game. BEK was particularly  a guilty party in that regard, it just wasn't quite his day. 

 

Whilst Brighton controlled the game, I didn't feel like we were under too much threat and that is credit to RVN and the players working on the system. Thank God there is one now. 

 

Thought Kasey, Bilal, Soumare were all good again. Of course Vardy as usual coming up with the goods and a bit of the old never say die Leicester City coming back too! 

 

The composure on the 2nd from Vardy was phenomenal, 4 minutes earlier he's scored to get us back in it, has a clear cut chance to equalise and take the glory but instead sticks it on a plate for BDCR, pure class. 

 

Things are definitely looking up, tough fixtures ahead, but the boys are giving us something to get behind again!

Thought Brighton were the better team, well drilled, some good chances and decent play but I liked the spirit we showed in adversity and it's a good sign under Ruud.

Said in the Soumare thread he has improved no end and I thought he was our MOTM and great that Bobby D had a hand in both goals, will be great for his confidence.

Would have taken a point before and we wouldnt have got this under cooper👍🏾

I’m going to presume you also want everyone who doesn’t sing to hand in their season tickets as well. With some bizarre thinking that the replacements are all going to want to sing and also stay to the end (they won’t).

So your even worse🤣🤣🤣

 

Just enjoy the point👍🏾

Kasey looks scared to take his man on, positionally very good but no end product

I’m even worse for giving up my season tickets and allowing someone else to have it because I got to the point of hating going. ok

Couldnt have said it better myself! 
 

pay all that money to leave early…. There are thousands who would beg for that season ticket. 

[StanSP]

Away fans never learn singing about Vardy.

 

Must be a strong correlation of fans singing about Vardy's wife and then he goes on to have a say in the outcome of the match. 

 

What a hero.

Supporters can influence the success of a club on and off the pitch, via being the 12th man during the game, and giving the club a reputation of being a great place to play your football as a player.

 

It's also great for the young supporters when the atmosphere is buzzing till the final whistle. It's should be the business of every supporter
