Jason Pearce Leader?

H'GATE, was the defence pretty good gainst Boro or did Boro just not take advantage of their opportunities?

I wrote on the matchday thread that Warnock was MOTM for me around 85 minutes but apart from him and Cooper, I thought we were weak at the back in that game.

If no one had told me we sold Lees and got Cooper in, I wouldn't have noticed last night.

Jonny

We got turned over in midfield and the defence dealt pretty well with the pressure, Warnock puts everything on the line that's why I rate him.

I think if you look at the defenders we have its got the potential to be a strong defense. they just needed better coverage in front of them. Austin is pointless.

We need a sitting midfielder to take some of the pressure and wingers he can distribute the ball to.

Got to agree, Pearce has been here a while now and shown he can`t make it at this level. League 1 defender at best.

Pearce is a good championship defender

Not even a discussion

Watching the game last night, the Brighton midfield/frontline just seemed to be able to run with ease at our defence.

There was no midfield shield at all. They were just bypassed.

If any area of the team needs particular pointing out from last night - it was midfield from what I saw. None of them showed up until the 2nd half. They were out thought, passed, ran and played - every one of them.

Then we had Brighton bring on LuaLua and Ince as subs - both with pace, which we couldn't handle.

Bad night at the office - what is it about Tuesday evenings?

could and possibly should have seen red for that tackle on the edge of box. Certainly cannot claim to be making a play for the ball.

Average championship defender at best for me.

I agree Kebab, certainly no better than average.

Easily 20 better CB's in this league than him - 2 play for us already

We can't keep the ball, pass the ball, control the ball, no plans - just hit and miss, bang the ball anywhere, and hoping for the best - this is madness. Cellino should start worrying ! We can't keep going on like that. I bet you McDermott is pretty pleased.
