I personally lay some of the blame for the first goal on O'Donnel, silly place to kick the ball immediately put Vyner under pressure. I also lay quite a lot of the blame on him for the second goal, couldn't tell how hard Baldock hit it but to be beaten at the near post from there isn't normally acceptable. 

My first thought on the first goal was that RO'D put Vyner in trouble.

Also ******* Baldock has scored 3 goals all season 2 against us.

 

Yeah, what the **** is it with ex players scoring against us this season!! 

4 goals from 3 shots on target does suggest a bit of a freak result but I did think Brighton were good value for the win. Very sharp up front with their movement and good pressing. We looked very static in comparison when going forwards.

That said, at least 3 if their goals came out of nothing/silly defensive errors and on another night we might of come out the game with something despite them being a sharper team.

Wilbs. coming on for Tomlin.

'A change for Barnsley' at the same time according to AB.

He called them Barnsley earlier as well. Must be on the mind. 

Tomlin's got that nouse that we've been missing to 'win' penalties like that.

We have the players...said it all along...play a different system, give players a chance, make substitutions when needed and rest tired players...it really is that simple.

Great win lads....well done Wade and Pembo for reacting the right way...fantastic...feel proud of them...anyone else feeling positive now?

Couldn't make it today but just listening to the team being read out on the radio pre-match felt so refreshing. 

I never gave Cotts stick, despite getting frustrated with the things you mention. But today has really highlighted how his stubbornness was his undoing and many of the answers he needed were under his nose all along.

Boro's first defeat in 10 (TEN) games.

Unbelievable. As are all of our games for various reasons.

First goal conceded in 9 as well! 

Substitutions! Yessssssssss! Get in. 

COYR!!

82 minutes.....still no shot on target.

Although on the plus side, 82 mins and no goals conceded.

The only time I'd be confident we'd score from a penalty in 40 years was when JET stepped up, he had the skill and arrogance that you need in those situations, being intimidating as hell didn't hurt either.

Barnard? Bell? Surely? 

You lot on here need to pull yourselves together. Crikey.

I don't like to say it, but that's the sort of thing that defines a disastrous season

Don't panic!!!!! Don't panic!!!!!! 

A penalty?!!! It must be Christmas 

Surprised at the complaining on here. Hull are a very good side with class all over the pitch. We looked poor going forward but we've played v well defensively.

Also we were denied 2 or 3 good opportunities by some cynical defending in the first half  

Always dissapointing to lose a lead but a great point nonetheless. 

COYR

Pants. My fears were warranted. 

I've been thinking this could go wrong today. Hopefully I'm wrong COYR! 

Agreed. The mood seems a lot better than the first month of the season. Team is becoming more solid, defence is still a bit shaky and exposed at times but looks like Cotts might be right about 15 games to adjust.  

Would've been happy with that before the game. After seeing how poor Cardiff were tonight though, feel pretty frustrated we didn't take the points. 

Cardiff are poor tonight. This is good chance to take 3 points if we can step it up a gear. 

Impressed with Pack. Seems to be growing into the championship. 

We're on sky against Hull as well? Didn't know that. 

Great break. Deserved a goal that. 

Gutted Baker's gone off. Our best defender IMHO and we look more solid with Williams at left back. 

Our shape is starting to get more solid by the game, which is promising to see. 

Atmosphere seems really flat, surprised how many empty seats there are. 

Thought theyd be be up for this one.
