Great group for Brighton.
Great group for Brighton.
Damn hard to get out of though.
Will be fun win, lose or draw.
Decent draw for us, would hope to qualify from there.
Be interesting if we qualify and end up playing Atalanta and Scamacca ultimately.

Not an easy group for Brighton by any means. If they can get through they'll be buzzing.

I'd back you at the very least to have the beating of AEK Athens. So at worst should be able to drop down to the Conference League and experience knockout continental football.

It was a penalty kick
Bit weird watching us dominate possession.
Kudus looks the goods already. Shocking mistake by Ogbonna though, Stevie G vibes on that one.

Makes English refs look half decent.
Playing 2 CBs that have never played in a competitive game together as well as what felt like no where near our best team says to me we are prioritising the League over Europe.
Still a good experience for the club.

That's a tough loss for Brighton, you would think AEK Athens was the team they could get 6 points from, will be tough for them from here.

Seems pretty disrespectful to the fans to not take it seriously when it's not as if you're in any danger in the league and have an easy match on the weekend.
I guess the manager had enough faith in the players he put on the park.
We still had 76% possession and dominated play.
Defending set pieces let us down and not having any natural defensive leaders back there hurt us.
Veltman should have at least started next to Van Hecke or Julio to provide that.
If Dunk was fit we probably win.

You said yourself he started two CBs who hadn't started together in a competitive game. Doesn't sound like a manager trying his best to win.
We're good at winning the games we shouldn't and losing the games we should.

Clearly I have some scars still from my own club throwing away our only European adventure only to draw with Stoke in the league the next weekend.

Surely Brighton arent taking there European adventure for granted. It's the first time ever the club has qualified for a European competition, it should be celebrated and embraced!
