Absolute nailed on free kick absolute nailed on penalty I can't believe anyone fucking argued. You get these wankers on the Tele saying players feel the slightest touch and go down like they've been shot and yet when an honest player tries to stay on his feet they start questioning the foul. FFS!:banghead:

typical Poch first half, noses in front again, cushion needed, not being pushed further and further back with the ball in the air a lot- that way we concede

We definitely need a 2nd goal
It's been good but can be better.

There's just no space for our attackers.
Plan A is out of the window for them now though...sit deep and try to nick one on the break.
They've gotta come at us, which should open some space up.

One another note we should ditch Vorm and sign Murray as Hugos backup.

I don't think there's much is in possession of the ball but there's been a bit of space in behind especially on that right hand side. But generally I do agree that they are sat back and squeezing the space. I hope for the same though, with them having to attack more now hopefully we'll find more space.

I think we have to remember that we were very average here last season - that's mostly down to Brighton's style and set-up.

We have had numerous away performances these last few seasons in which we struggle to break teams down but our mental strength and endurance shows late in the game.

Yeah good point mate. To be honest it's easy to be critical of certain things because we're so out of form but if we were in form and I'd just watched that half I think I'd be reasonably happy and not greatly worried.

Fuck sake, here we go again. Better cross there and we're bang in trouble.

Looks like they are pushing up their full backs more, hopefully that’ll give us more space.

Need to stop giving away silly free kicks in dangerous positions, it looks like they’ll only be able to score from a set piece.

Right, twice now in 3 minutes our fallbacks have been badly caught out, one on each side, as Brighton push theirs' up. If we don't change anything and Brighton score from such a position MoPo has nobody else to blame.
