thanks again Fulham ,:thup:.

Sod off. Think that's seven penalties we've missed this year and just like the away game had the chances to beat Brighton and yet again get done. Well done though Brighton

Six points behind Newcastle, and a game in hand.:thup:

Cracking fight back from two down.

But the game in hand is against us is it not and we're still a real Jekyll and Hyde team. If we have a good day away like Ipswich then we're be a spanner in the works. If we roll over as we can then you'll close the gap with ease. Do you know if they've announced the date yet?

it was a good game .wednesday really are a good side but the Albion are playing so much for eachother and that makes them a very resiliant side and very hard to beat.
to score with only ten on the pitch after having to defend for 15 minutes was a biggy ,that and Stockdale`s penalty save .
its going to be promotion or bust this year for Brighton as they lost 2o million plus last year and they cant sustain the cost of players wages and general overheads without premier monies coming in ,even if they rebound back down they will be far better off as the parachute payments will help .
hopefully should they get promotion i will be able to saee all the home games for free as i will be working for them .

Yup, thought we had the game there for the taking but fair play to Brighton, they looked dangerous on the break. The penalty miss was crucial and I think we'd have won comfortably had it gone in.
Those two daft red cards at the end just topped off a bad night 😕

I'll take a draw although think we should have won. Yet another missed penalty. Heaven knows how many that is now this season but convert those and we'd be top six for certain

Not our best performance but another missed penalty cost us, that goes in and we win comfortably as they would have had to be a bit more adventurous.

And on a separate note, whats going on with McCormack at Villa. Apparently our manager asked the players and officials about bringing him back and they said no in spades. Can't do it at Villa and looks like being shipped out and yet scored for fun for us. Must be a hell of a handful/trouble maker in the dressing room if we don't want him back
