Wolves are always a bogey team for Villa. Happy to take the point today away from home but could have found a winner in the last 10/15. So many chances!

Things still all going well for the claret and blue 😍

Thought you would've had more of a go, felt like you were happy with the point towards the end and then picked up when Lemina got sent off.
That Watkins chance has taken years off my life.

Thought it was quite funny when all the Brighton fans were chanting that after the penalty was denied.

Can't believe that miss from Pedro though, harder to miss surely!

Classic Brighton. Lovely football, carve out a great chance, miss great chance. It's been said so often, if only they had a real striker. It's the only piece of the jigsaw missing.

I thought we had one with Ewen Ferguson. He's just not firing at the moment. When he first started he hit the ground running and scored goals for fun.
He's very talented, I can only say, "Form is temporary, class is permanent."

Ahh Wolves always do well against us. Last 15 or so we looked more like ourselves but we set up not to lose (like we have for years at Molineux) and we didn’t!

More than happy taking a point today tbh.

He's a young lad, lots of talent, looks the part. I'm sure he will come good again and in the meantime he needs some others to step up. That way he can be fed back in without so much pressure on his shoulders.

I don't think it's as much a problem as a few seasons ago. As you probably know Brighton have scored plenty of goals this season already.
What's nice to see is that lots of players are scoring goals, not just a striker. From that point of view a recognised striker is not as important as it might be.

By the way, great win for Everton yesterday.
I think I almost saw the goal of the century from DCL yesterday. Ball comes over him from height, he instantly controls it and in almost the same movement unleashes a fantastic volley. Unfortunately he just over hits it and sails over the bar.
That would have been something special!

I was at the game today and yes we laughed when the North stand sung, we want a replay.

As for the Van Dyke penalty shout we all thought the ref was going to the screen to view, but instead he gave De Zerbi a yellow card, absolutely pathetic!
 
@Golfmmad , you are right about goals for Brighton, they are coming from all over. You create so much though, just imagine.............🤣

What a difference for us, having DCL fit and firing. That shot yesterday didn't come off but the way he took it showed he fancied it and that's a great sign. We also got more bodies going forward. Too many times recently we might have one person up top and no one else within 20-30 metres. Yesterday we had all sorts of midfielders running into the box to be a part of things. So much more positive 😃
 
Just back from a lovely day out on the south coast, shame about the result.

Looking forward to seeing some of those decisions again.

It looked like it deflected off his thigh onto his arm, those should never be given.
 
Having watched MOTD2, it now seems referees are starting a new directive in relation to yellow cards.

Once a player is on a yellow card, they are then allowed a free hit in making another bad challenge. Referees must have been told not to give the second yellow in such circumstances.

Very inconsistent

Mistakes happen

But it's annoying when Emerson gets a yellow for waving a card

Almaron does it about 15 mins later nothing

He wasn't even on a yellow at the time so wouldn't have mattered
