A lackluster performance, to say the least. With too many tired international players unable to drag the rest along. Smith’s finding out what it takes to manage and coach a squad, half full of absent internationals.

Hope he ain't going to whine about the VAR decision forever and a day. We missed a hatful of chances, enough to win this game twice over. However, Brighton stuck to their game plan and beat us at our own game, ala Leeds and Saints.

We just don’t seem to have a clue how to take the game to teams. Plan A, counter-attack, Plan B??? Also, we must have one of the weakest benches outside the bottom 3. Work to do in January.

A bad day at the office again, 3 on the spin at home.

Was anyone really surprised?
