Brentford 0-2 Brighton - the fans' verdict

[BBC]

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Brentford and Brighton.

Here are some of your comments:

Brentford fans

Sam: Classic Brentford, that's all I can say. Beat Aston Villa away with 10 men, beat Newcastle brilliantly, draw deservedly against the league leaders Arsenal, then produce a hopeless, tame and tired performance to deservedly get beaten by a Brighton side that hadn't won in six beforehand. A game to forget and move on from, and I hope for a reaction against Burnley next week.

Ian: Worst Brentford of the season. Poor all round, individual errors, lack of a plan B. Brighton had a clear plan and played their hearts out.

Rob: A very disappointing display from Bees. We were second best to Brighton at everything and they deserved their win. I wish the Bees would send on Romelle Donovan much earlier and also Kaye Furo when the forward line is not clicking. Congratulations to James Milner - a great pro.

Tim: Lacklustre from the off, allowing Brighton to dictate the game and emerge worthy winners. Tactics were plainly wrong; ignoring the midfield in favour of aimless wing play and Nathan Collins' error just put the cherry on the cake. At least Yehor Yarmolyuk and Mikkel Damsgaard added a bit of industry and invention but this was a poor, poor showing.

Brighton fans

ArrJay: This was a much better display by the Seagulls than we've seen for ages. Can the manager sustain it? He hasn't been able to in the past but we can live in hope that the club has turned a corner that has been oh so elusive.

Mick: A competent, composed and mature display. We looked balanced with a plan, which has been missing over the past weeks. All the players knew their role. More performances like this and Europe is not beyond us.

Pedro: Before the match, I feared a loss, expected a draw and hoped for a win. We should be celebrating three points, but in reality, we're just relieved to halt the decline.

Darren: As a lifelong Brighton fan, it's been a tough few months. However, what a performance - very proud of the boys and the whole team. Let's hope a bit of confidence will push the team on to a great end to the season.
