    We need to take our chances

    brighton & hove albion 1 - 0 sunderland (aet)

    My overriding emotion is one of disappointment because I’ve said all along we take cup competitions extremely seriously and we put out a team that mirrored that.
    But like today and Saturday, if you don’t take chances when they come along you leave yourself open.
    We knew it would be difficult going down to Brighton who are playing in a new stadium and have had a great start to the season.
    We need to take our chances because otherwise we leave ourselves vulnerable and that proved to be the case.
    Brighton get the ball down and play and are good in possession. You can see why they’re doing so well.
    We had long spells of possession, especially during the first half, but we need to take those chances.
    The goal was sloppy – bad defending. We switched off and were punished for it.
    If you don’t score, you don’t win football matches and at the moment that’s where we’re lacking.

    All the best,


    Steve Bruce

    Well I have to admit , putting no strikers on the field does make it a bit more challenging... <doh>

    He's so clueless , it's fantastic!

    I am starting to think Bruce is actually being very clever and making it obvious to Ellis Short that we need the funds for a top striker before the transfer window closes.

    It must be that mustn't it? He can't be deliberately playing these formations thinking we can win!
