Re the brighton goal.
Not only did i find bringing agbadoo on wierd, the timing of it was shit.
Brighton saw the wolves players still discussing who was playing where and took advantage with a very quick corner which found our defenders nowhere snd marking no one.
Make krejci captain, and i tbink he will sort that back four himself.

I think the assessment of Jackson is quite strange to be honest because i thought today was by far the best we’ve seen him overall. Made plenty of clearances especially in the air and his 1v1 defending against Minteh was very good as it had to be in second half.
There’s obviously a caveat to that as he did needlessly give away the corner for the goal and did switch off slightly but so did everyone else and the marking of Van Hecke was appalling. He should be disappointed with his role in the goal though.
When it comes to attacking his output isn’t brilliant and his decision making isn’t great in the final third but his positioning, being so “deep” is obviously the plan in a back four. Doc did exactly the same last week and we know he likes to get forward but it must be because Arias drifts and we don’t want to have too much space in behind on that side with no cover and Santi not so mobile. Reason i think this is because when he’s played wing back he’s been really high in the build up much like Semedo was last season once Vitor took over. I actually think in both instances he’s not being used correctly as it actively reduces our options on the ball whether he’s too high or too deep.

On whether the ball goes out? They have done.
Don't think they can go back and do that after the corner has been awarded. If it's from open play they would.

Ah, understood.
I agree with this. My mate is a Brighton fan and was bigging Minteh up before the game, basically said he'd been their best player by a mile this season - "he's absolutely class and just a nightmare for full backs" - and I don't think he's had a sniff basically.

Yeah he got nominated for Premier League player of the month for September. Got absolutely pocketed today though.

Yep, I’m quite open to being in the wrong as some good judges have blasted them on here, but I didn’t see anything glaringly wrong with either full back today. Jackson seemed to win a good number of battles in the second half in particular. He’s offering Jack shit going forward, but that’s one area where we can’t say there is a meaningful drop off from Nelson. All this said, please don’t imagine I can’t see we’ve massively downgraded both wing backs despite having a complete 5-a-side team of them to pick from.
Hwang gets an easy ride just for not being totally comically inept. That’s about the best you can say though. Just put Lopez there: while he’s clearly not at PL pace he’s shown enough to give us something going forward and is simply impossible to be a downgrade. If he’s not going to get minutes to get up to speed to contribute this season then it’s clearly an issue.
Aside from the results, it’s such a depressing watch when the coaching staff give you Arias, JRB and Munetsi as your attacking options to break a siege.

Agbadou substitution was on 60 minutes, Brighton scored on 86 minutes...

Yeah the Agbadou sub was not the reason we were on the back foot or conceded in isolation. What needed to happen if you’re going to make that sub is get Munetsi and Arias closer to Larsen and get the wingbacks higher. We could have gone a bit longer then, turned Brighton round and played in their half. Unfortunately we did none of that and then it was only a matter of time especially when we went to no striker in the pitch.

The Agbadou incident just reflects the downside of signing older players. Like he’d walked purposefully into the room then couldn’t remember what he’d gone there for.
Bringing Agbadou on and switching to three/five at the back I felt that we started to lose the midfield and being overrun and pushed further back.
So in isolation Agbadou coming on wasn't necessarily the issue, although he didn't win much (if anything) in the air? It was more the accompanying changes made to accommodate him coming on.

All good points
I'm not sure whether Tchatchoua was clear on what was required of him. A number of times he received the ball, paused for a few seconds and eventually just played it backwards but without any intention to get up the wing
We invited way too much pressure in the second half and it was a matter of time for when they would score.
Hopefully with better substitutions and game management we can push on!

I don’t actually think that Tchatchoua knows the difference in the requirements of a right full back, and a right wing back.

Go on Nick..
Why is Tolu not match fit ? He wasn't injured .
Was he not training with his previous club before he joined us ?
Or did he just not bother because he wanted a move ?
Krejci walked straight into our team and looked match fit - he was playing with his former club up to a few days before he arrived .
