That's a good point. And, we're not down yet.

Where would we be without the boy wonder?

Important we didn't lose so the gap to Brighton stays at 3 points rather than 6. Decent point too given none of the other results today went against us really.

I think Grealish has now scored in his last four games against Brighton.

Truly dismal first hour, marginally better last 30 minutes.

First 65 minutes, disgraceful.

Final 25 minutes, less disgraceful.

Drinkwater, AEG, Trezeguet, Targett particularly shite.
Hause and Nakamba worth a mention

More of the same disorganised defending, lack of proper game plan, Jack saving the day, well done Jack.  We are sleep walking towards relegation.  Pepe was calm, Drinkwater was wank.  We need quality in next week.  Does a draw stop me from wanting a change of Manager? No. The players look scared.  Luiz made a different, is his best position that of an impact sub?  A useful point but we remain poor and in the bottom three.  Good job the season doesn't finish today eh?

Much improved second half but our tactics...... have we got any apart from get the ball to Jack and hope he can conjure something?

Would have taken a point before the match. Looking to the Watford match, I watched their match today v Spuds. They seemed to have pace and aggression which we normally can’t cope with. Just have to hope that we can get on the front foot and take the game to them.
Would be a massive 3 points if we can win this one.

I honestly don’t know what some people want. We’re in a relegation battle, some players are going to be a bit shit in most games. A point away at one of our relegation rivals is really decent ffs. And we’re obviously not going to have an out all as we haven’t got a forward, we’ll documented.

Decent result, which keeps them in the mix. Would have taken a draw beforehand & at half time.

Looked much better second half & if anything we could have nicked it.

Nothing a couple of forwrds wouldn't fix.

Overall a very good point considering how bad we were for an hour.

Away form is starting to pick up now.

Thought Luiz had an excellent cameo. In from the start for Drinkwater on Tuesday please.

At least Smith did something eventually. Everything good that we did in the 2nd half, began when Drinkwater went off.

Grealish, Mings and Reina, thank you all.

Luiz got us playing I thought when he came on. Brighton sat back and gave us far too much space but credit to Luiz.

Thought AEG did well on right wing too late on. Goal was a superb finish from Grealish.

Brighton seemed very nervous, a point on a bog of a pitch not the worst result.

Didn’t watch any of it but in the grand scheme of things it’s the type of away point we’ve thrown away about 4 or 5 times this season so maybe a step in the right direction.

we weren’t very good for the first hour and are the very definition of a one man team

But we’re still in it

I’m going against the usual wave of negative comment and congratulating the team on a decent point.
So well done lads.
Right back to it then..
