Its a point which I would have taken before the game.
As usual though Town through away another winning position and the three points could possibly have seen us safe.

20 minutes to go..scannell out on his feet, norwood couldn't run.. we just needed some fresh legs to chase around and stop the ball coming into the box.. robins didn't do it, he spent 20 minutes waving players forward who couldn't get forward.. I give up... its not negative to replace like with like, crooks and holmes or lolley for norwood, scannell , just to chase around and just to run upfield with the ball.. 1-1 after the umpteenth lump into a packed penalty area and gobern comes on? its become reasonably clear robins hasn't got a clue. we had more chances and more efforts on goal than them and had the best period of the game but changing it as soon as its clear it needs changing isn't admitting you got it wrong its fucking good sense.. we drew but the lack of thought on the bench from the manager is fucking appalling.. mark if you players up the pitch who cant physically do it , you are wasting your time and mine..

Would've taken a point before the game, but its such typical town to throw away a lead in the final minutes having lead the entire game.
Also wondering why Robins made no changes until the end especially when the ref carded nearly every player on the pitch. Some fresh legs may have added a goal or stopped them scoring..

The lack of a sub was poor from my point of view. The game was crying out for a fresh pair of legs or two from the last 25 mins onwards.
Shame we couldn't hang on but on another day the free kick 2nd half or Nahki shot on the turn could have gotten us a goal or two, their keeper made decent saves.
A point gained in MR's eyes.. But it wA definitely 2 dropped today

ref bottled sending off their centre half, already booked and trips clayton running through on goal.. it makes you want to weep sometimes..booking everything that moves then shits himself when the big decision comes...

Battered you really but grateful for the point in the end. Thought it was going to be one of those games. Cheers lads. Got a feeling it's going to be our year. Think you were watching another game dickhead, until your goal you were second best! Now jog on!!

The sub issue was one which Barnsley fans seemed very irate about when he was in charge there. Not sure what goes through his head. No doubt he will tell us it would have been suicide much like when he told us he couldn't play two upfront against a poor Boro side

wasn't asking for a striker on..jus two pairs of freh legs running around in midfield, stopping the ball coming into the box.. that's all brighton had in the last 30 minutes.. if you punt enough in and have big lads in there and enough support it will drop for you and it did.. trying to score again wasn't the issue..
poor decision not to make a decision long before he did.. if 13k people can see we are running right out of steam, why cant he???

This exactly. Cant fault the lads for effort at all today, Robins shows his managerial naiveity by not making the subs earlier, whats the point of putting Bunn on with 30 seconds to go. Apart from that cant complain with the point, would have taken it before the game.

Think you were watching another game dickhead, until your goal you were second best! Now jog on!! Town played well until we scored and then basically sat back and invited pressure. Town went far too defensive far too early. Brighton had lots of the ball but were largely poor with it. I couldn't believe how direct they were - I thought they were known for being a passing side but they relied on long balls for most of their attacking play. Then again, so did Town. Town had the better chances, but the general quality on view was dire - from both teams. Town were happy to sit deep and hope Wells could conjure something on his own and Brighton were unable to turn their possession into chances. It might just be the point that keeps Town up but that was a long, long match - very little to cheer, and plenty to get frustrated about. I suspect it was a means to an end from Robins, but we defended far too deep and the lack of subs was poor. That all said it was a point I wasn't expecting and we might now just be safe (although a couple more points would be nice).

There's always one
We know full well that our team isn't the fittest. Clayton, Norwood, Scannell etc are all blowing long before half time. Very poor management not to get fresh legs on

As another point, lets not forget that once again we had a ref that was less than helpful. Carded loads of players, didn't give us a penalty and didn't send one of theirs off. Over a 46 game season, we probably have no more than 2 good referees.

Robins cant win at present Nonsense Chips, the lads were flat out on their feet, nobody would blame robins for a like for like sub. Personally I would have put Lolley on for Scannell , who to be fair to the lad was buggered at 70 minutes but kept trying. Whats the point of subbing someone with 30 seconds to go unless you are killing time???

Are you saying fresh legs weren't needed Ted? I was in two minds at the time... I would have taken Scannell off personally but I wasn't screaming for Robins to replace a midfielder. To my eyes Brighton weren't looking too dangerous before they scored.. Robins chose not to , they scored, so he gets it in the neck. If Robins had changed it and they had scored he would have got it in the neck

To lose it would have been an unmitigated disaster

Anyone with a pair of eyes could see Scannell was knackered in the second half, he made error after error, and whilst he put in a good shift its clear, given he hasn't had a full game for many weeks now, his boiler was empty at least 20/25 mins before the end of the game.I have no idea whether we would have defended our lead if he had been subbed, but thats not the point here, the issue is one of making substitutions when they are needed, it wasn't done....the question is WHY? There is only one person who can adequately answer that question. So Mr Robbins, why didn't you sub Scans earlier? I have never booed a player , nor have I attacked Robbins, so before some plough in with 'get behind yer team' I would like to point I have done so for 46 years.But the refusal to sub when clearly needed strikes me as the most inept bit of decision making I have seen in a long time.
