The Huddlestone and Bryson who's mistakes have lead to the majority of Brighton's attacks? 

Huddlestone isn't perfect , but he is by far the best holding midfielder we have , and Bryson isn't great either but is needed for the balance of the team when we have nobody else who can win the ball and provide energy.

[Richard246]

bring on Marriott, go 4-4-2 for Christ sake 

[Rambam]

Cole Marriott and Josefzoon on please.

[ram1964]

Didn't we start the season playing high tempo, pressing players giving them no time on the ball? Just slow lethargic no energy ,composure ,just poo .2 points wasted mid week for this utter tripe.Made Brighton look good and their not.

KICK ARSE FRANK 

This is not good enough, don't mind losing if we put in some effort.but  the set up,team selection player motivation really needs questioning on this performance,should be refunding the fans travelling expenses from what we've seen so far and BT should be paying half the tv rights cos only one team out their playing anything remotely like football.

[Norman]

Bryson is woeful. Off the pace again. 

He's had one half decent game in his last 20.

Offers nothing. Same goes for Nugent 

22 games without a goal. Plenty of chances in them 22 to score. 

Atrocious again.

Good job I’m in the pub not at the match, time for a couple of pints to numb the pain

Funny, everyone wanted Huddlestone to start. ?

Not everyone, some of us realise he ain’t the saviour

Rowett, Clough, Clement, McLaren 1, McLaren 2 were all sacked for less than this.

Didn’t realise it’s the fans doing the February meltdown this season.

Same here. Have given up.

Once you get a reply to texting SPORT then YES it's pretty straightforward.  Not that you'd bother now I imagine.  

[CWC1983]

Brightons midfield are showing ours how to press and get the ball back. Pace and power. Their no8 is taking the ball off Holmes / Huddlestone / Malone at will and Stephens doing the same in the middle. 

I honestly dont know how Frank thought he'd get anything out of this game by lumping it upto Nugent. 

Hopefully he goes for it in the 2nd half.

We must have someone better in the under 23s with them doing so well? Or Waghorn down the middle.

Well obviously not ergo why they are not playing.

You can't slag Nugent off but there's no one better to replace him available

What a dreadful week of football.

Absolutely balls up the game against Ipswich and then this truly dreadful display, nothing short of woeful.

Rowett, Clough, Clement, McLaren 1, McLaren 2 were all sacked for less than this.

Have you taken your pills today?

[Woodley Ram]

One Prem side to many, they are up for it, I just hope for. Better 2nd half and a goal. A 2-0 lead is th least Brighton deserve at the moment. The way Tomori is playing we might need Effe fit and he looks like getting sent off. 

[YorkshireRam]

Why play Nugent and Bryson, neither have the legs anymore for the fast, attacking play Lampard clearly wants? Huddlestone is class but needs 2 mobile midfielders in front of him, not a slow Bryson and Wilson who plays mostly as an attacker anyway. 

A 70% fit Marriott would also offer more than Nugent can; not seen anything remotely resembling form all season and doesn't have the legs to chase as effectively anymore.

Can't see this result changing while this current XI stays on the pitch

[Angry Ram]

Still 45 mins left. Major shake up by Frank and then ask some questions of them. It’s been too easy for Brighton first half. 

poo or bust now Frank. It ain’t over till it’s over. 

[RadioactiveWaste]

Nugent, have you considered retraining in the dog food industry?

As a chub roll?

[Bazal77]

A really disappointing performance so far. Still 45 mins to go too restore some pride COYR

Is it me or does this ref love giving them free kicks....

Think every decision has been correct

[Topram]

What happened to our press that was so successful 

[Edtheram]

I would look more positive at the league but on recent performances I’m dreading next Monday at Forest. Can’t hack it at Ipswich and can’t hack it at the Amex
