Or jump ship

Think this will finally put the nail in the coffin for our playoff hopes unless we smash the last 8 games. Not surprised but pleased with this season.

I dunno, quite a few teams above us are nothing special. We need a good run of results in Feb, but it's not over yet.

 

[Nick]

Can't really moan about owners when we should have been about 3 up before they even scored.

 

[covcity4life]

We do miss godden infront of goal, no doubt about it

Gyok won't be here next season tho is my fear. Might not have scored but he is quality and I think someone will come in for him

 

[Paul Anthony]

We've not been any better since their goal tbf...

Oh, not using it as any excuse by any means. It's on us to do better with our chances. Just frustrates me when we come up against a team that knows all the little tricks and the ref falls for it every time.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sick of seeing other fans celebrating daylight robbery

 

[Nick]

We have looked shit since Allen went off.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Waghorn has been rubbish since he came on

 

[jordan210]

Every time they fall over the lino gives a foul

 

[Skybluefaz]

Wow. Lino loves giving a free kick

 

[SkyblueTexan]

If we had put away our chances in the first half this would be a different game. Always give away goals against the run of play. Idiots.

 

[robbiekeane]

Fucking shit show. Just playing hoofball up top. We give away a free kick. Rinse and repeat.

Wasn't suggesting it, knew what you meant frustrating all round today, PUSB

 

[Nick]

How the fuck does he give a free kick then??? Waghorn didn't touch him

 

[covcity4life]

Waghorn has been rubbish since he came on

Is he on....

 

[Evo1883]

We have looked shit since Allen went off.

Yea feels like it took something out of us

 

[Terry_dactyl]

The linesman is a fucking prick there

 

[Nick]

Yea feels like it took something out of us

His movement.

Hamer has just tried and failed Hollywood passes and given fouls away.

 

[robbiekeane]

Just playing hoofball up top

Is this manager instructions or what

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

2 goals from 49 shots in our last 3 games.

 

[Evo1883]

Ah well , 3 very rough games out the way , we took 3 points should really have took 7 atleast .. big month is February , although I fear we are destined for upper mid table .

 

[clint van damme]

If that's a free kick my arse is a water melon

 

[ccfc92]

I really don't know what we're playing at. So negative, then when we go forward we hoof it out of play/foul their players.

Something seemed odd today, almost betting patterns odd.

 

[Nick]

Another player falling over

 

[jordan210]

Lol fall over get free kick rinse and repeat

 

[robbiekeane]

Another foul given away. Fucking dog shit and happened about 5 times. Why isn’t anyone telling them to hold off a bit? Playing right into their game plan since going behind and it’s embarassing

 

[covcity4life]

Dissapointing result but a good performance for me. We do seem to lose out selves a bit when concede tho which needs to be looked at.

But these guys one of most inform teams in England and imo we were better. Bodes well in the long run

If we can get kane and or dabo back I think we will have a good February.

PUSB

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Just sick of it to be honest

 

[hinckley cov]

Unfortunately we are a good side with average strikers, and if we had a good striker we would be top six.

 

[Esoterica]

I think we've played pretty well today, I'd go as far as to say as well as we could play with the players available.

We desperately miss a player that can consistently play a quality pass in the final 3rd. I know I've said it before but O'Hare would be brilliant in that box midfield with a player that that can unlock a defence with a quick bit of skill and a killer pass or finish a chance himself. Until we get that, we'll struggle to kill teams off as we just don't have the composure in our front 3 to score enough of the many half chances we create.

Gutted we've lost but not angry about it when the team have more or less played to their potential away from home.

 

[robbiekeane]

Lol fall over get free kick rinse and repeat

Yes but we are playing into it? And have for the last twenty minutes? They fall over whenever challenged and we still go for hoof ball and going in with stupid tackles?

 

[Evo1883]

Unfortunately we are a good side with average strikers, and if we had a good striker we would be top six.

Not sure mate , we've got 2 of the top 10 goalscorers in the league playing upfront .. we need goals from all over not just them

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

2 goals from 49 shots in our last 3 games.

Unbelievable

 

[Skybluefaz]

Boro are shite. That's a ridiculous game to lose. With a bit more fire power we'd be a force. Officials were absolute dogshit too.

That's what makes it so frustrating though, and it's an all too familiar pattern. We so often play well, but don't make the most of it and get punished. It happens too much.
