Coventry 0-5 Brighton - the fans' verdict

[BBC] We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Coventry City and Brighton. Here are some of your comments: Coventry fans Frank : Obviously you look at the score and it looks like a proper embarrassing spanking, but it wasn't a 5-0 thrashing. The second goal is just awful and then we go down to ten and the game is done. Fans were great though. Put the kids out for the Aston Villa cup game, a win at Nottingham Forest on Saturday has to be what we focus on. Stephen : Worst performance I have seen in ten years. I wasn't happy with the starting formation - five at the back is too negative. Doug King has a big decision to make if the next couple of games don't end with some points. It's not just the scoreline, it's the performance that hurts more. Apart from a good second half against Manchester City , we have been poor. Geo : We were outplayed. Brighton were faster to each ball and seemed to have loads of space to set up their attacks. We were second best in tackles and the ball seemed to run with Brighton. Their goalkeeper pulled off two magical saves. Barry : Coventry shouldn't get too down. There's a lot of the season left for them to bounce back. Brighton fans Sarah : A breath of fresh air! Looked dodgy at the start - Coventry played well and could have got three in quick succession if Bart Verbruggen hadn't been so on the ball. And what a corker from Lewis Dunk! He'll quite rightly dine out on that forever - got to be goal of the month and great he's found a way to play with our new guys. Everyone's having a go. Five goals from five players. Brilliant play all round. Stuart : Potential banana skin for us. After a good first period I was worried when Coventry seized the initiative and Bart kept us in the game. After that we just moved up the gears - ultimately, a superb performance. Our interchange of players' positions continues to baffle teams. Just wait until we get our preferred starting XI. Stuart : That'll do nicely - goals are exactly what we can produce given the chances we create and we stayed switched on for the majority of the game. Decent all-round performance. Bigger tests to come but a real team performance today. Ben : Thought Coventry were a little unlucky not to go in at least even at half time. Nailed on red card absolutely finished the contest. Can't see what the player was complaining about - he even had a nibble seconds before. Clearly his head was gone. Coventry looked a little naive defending with ten men, but still had a couple of chances. Bart had a terrific day, Carl Rushworth wasn't at fault for any of our goals as far as I could see. Nice to see us add a couple late on. Thoroughly good day for the Seagulls.
