    Poor management.

    Xavi Simons should have been taken off even if you are left with 10 men. He gave the ball away for Brighton's equaliser.

    But heh, not our problem!


    More then an ok result

    That Brighton goal means that Wolves are not technically down yet. Gives them something to play for in their next game.

    Wolves won’t want to get relegated in front of their own fans

    That will fell like a defeat, so close to a win, but Danso dilly dallies and Brighton pounce to grab a point…
    COYI on Monday 🙏⚒️

    Faffing about passing the ball out from the keeper has cost Brighton both goals, why do they keep doing it?!!

    Pep started it at City but he had the players who could handle it. Since then all teams have copied it.I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen the opposition nick the ball and score. I’m not saying that we should go back to the fifty fifty boot upfield from the keeper but there are times when it just makes sense.

    To be fair - Spurs showed up today and gave Brighton a proper game which was more than I expected but I am really pleased with the result - the ball is now very much in our own hands tomorrow.

    Turning up, playing well, and losing two points at the death is gutting. Maybe worse than just losing, morale wise.

    I would have been so annoyed had they won with that centre back acting like he is playing a training ground five a side. I have not often seen a team so light weight as Brighton, every shoulder to shoulder they went flying.

    Although De Zerbi has got a bit of fight into them they still create so little.

    Draw and result aside, Spurs did not look a bad outfit. I think they will certainly get a couple wins before the season is over. The ball is very much in our court though. Its up to us to create the gap needed to stay ahead and in front.

    I thought we were dead, buried and preparing for life in the championship months ago weren’t we?🤷🏻‍♂️

    It's possible Wolves will already be down before that match; they will be if we pick up a point or more on Monday.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    It’s probable they’re already down now unless we lose our last 6 and they win their last 5 with a 20 goal difference swing.
    Hopefully they’ll play with a lot of freedom and be at least a match for Spurs.

    Spurs defence is the same as ours was in the first half of the season. They've also forgotten who to win.

    They will probably beat Wolves but that leaves -

    Aston Villa A
    Leeds H
    Chelsea A
    Everton H

    Blimey! Trump had a gut feeling and bombed Iran, and that's going well. 😂

    I think the key for me now is we have two opportunities to stay above Spurs - Monday but also next Saturday when we play Everton & they play Wolves.

    If we don’t take points in our next two, I expect them to be above us come next weekend & we can’t really argue with that as we have to keep picking up points too & will have had two chances to do so.

    If Burnley get a result today (unlikely) I think that actually makes Forest the most likely to go down.
  • alderzalderz
    I think it’s very unlikely we beat both Palace and Everton. We’ve not strung three league wins together on the trot in a long time (I have not checked to see when, but I’d guess Moyes was in charge). If we manage 4 points from the two that would be an excellent return.

    Glorious days.

    Good to see Jarrod Gillet was allowed to mess up the Championship play off race. Terrible penalty decision.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Watching Burnley vs Forest and Burnley are one of those that always seem to want to play it out from the back and more often than not end up in trouble.

    In my mind, if you set up to play it short and succeed in tempting two or three opposing players to stay up in the hope of closing you down and you then choose to go long….hopefully your keeper can target one of your own and you are putting the ball into a midfield with far more space

    But what do I know

    I get it but I think it would make sense to see teams mix it up a bit rather than keep playing it short as a default

    Burnley lead
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Forest look very “leggy” not a game with much to talk about at either end until Burnley get one just before the whistle - did not see that coming and you have to expect that it will wake Forest up in the second half
  • LukerzLukerz
    1-1 Gibbs-White (as usual)
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    JWP for the unwanted assist
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Forest now ahead - Gibbs White….again

    Rubbish defending by Burnley.

    What was Walker doing leaving Gibbs-White unmarked?
