    I just feel like fans forget there's another team on the pitch especially when it's a Brighton or a Brentford for example.

    There were times in this game I said this lot are ****ing brilliant- they even knew when to go down and stop the game.

    I think Brighton at home and with more years of having the same coaching just played football and had more energy left second half.

    It's a very good away point and some weren't quite on it.

    Good away point and another clean sheet - didn't see the game but sounds as though we weren't at our best but still managed to see off a good team and Nick (Pope) a point.

    Saw the highlights and Wilsons goal should have stood but the ref blew early instead of letting VAR check... bit baffling when you consider:

    Surely we must write a complaint about that - the ref's so far this season have had a mare and we are only 19 games in!

    As long as I can remember our defense has been the major issue and now we are the only team along with City to have yet to conceded a goal so far. If you offered me a point and a clean sheet vs City right now I'd snatch your hand off.

    This might go down like a lead balloon but I agree with you Trips was caught out and he can quite often be because he is trying to orchestrate an attacking move.

    He’s a brilliant player so I won’t skate him but he has been at fault for some goals as much as any player.

    But overall he is class.

    It was mate. Brighton are a very good efficient team and will finish top ten this season.

    They actually miss a class striker. If they had one they would be lethal.

    And I think we can. I honestly think we can possibly get a result against them with our energy in midfield but it would be a monumental effort.

    It’s a free hit really.

    Will Nunez miss the game against us?

    Think so, it was straight red for violent conduct.

    Straight red so is it a three match ban?

    I'm confident we can stop Firmino (get the samba twin midfield to remind him where his loyalties should lie)

    The other 2 may be a bit tricky ..
