He'll be playing the same players in March - if we fail to score yet again in the first two games he should resign.  This is contrary to the facts. We created far more chances per game than before and our finishing let us down. We closed off our early defensive frailty and by keeping the ball far better, gave us more chances and the opposition less. The negativity is based on results and sure, those who didn't watch the games could come to a negative conclusion. Had Connolly scored v Slovakia, we'd be in a whole different world. The margins are small and our improvement are there for anyone to see, if they open their eyes. Connolly didn't play v Slovakia

They finally picked out one of his runs after two or three occasions where he found good positions but was ignored. He couldn't generate any power at all in the shot, though. Not a great chance by any means but something I've noticed before with his shooting technique.

Brighton trailing 1-0. Good run from Stevens and a good pullback from McGoldrick for the SU goal.

be glad to see sheffield utd get the 3 points. connolly must have touched the ball about 3 times the whole game. his style not suited to brighton at all, although you would think he would need to try and adapt if he is to get game time

Just missed a header from a yard.

Gosh hes missed an absolute sitter 

They really give him very little to work with. Missed a great headed chance there but I think his partner Wellbeck actually pushed him in the back and wrecked his timing, kind of sums Brighton up
