Nottinghamshire

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

Here are some of your comments:

Forest fans

Andy: There are no easy games. Two lapses of concentration cost us a point, but fair play to Brighton.

Greg: I'm sorry but Sean Dyche started with a negative line-up and it allowed Brighton to dictate the game. Second-half team changes should have started the match. Omari Hutchinson put them under immediate pressure. We were unlucky not to get an equaliser and the late goal by Brighton just summed up the lack of depth of quality in defence. This is a big problem for the Reds. As soon as Murillo is absent, we look suspect at the back - it needs fixing in the next transfer window.

John: Another yo-yo result from Forest. We'll probably escape relegation only because there are three worse sides.

Tom: Forest played solidly, but it just was not their day. Hopefully Murillo will be back soon but I am confident they can bounce back next game regardless.

Brighton fans

Grumpyman: Excellent performance. We were all over them, especially in the first 20 minutes. Great to see the two signings score and Dunk and Van Hecke were immense when they were pressing and threatening to equalise. So nice to banish that distant 7-0 memory...

Paul: A good, solid performance from the Seagulls. They created some good opportunities in the first half and could have been home and dry by half-time. They knew Forest would come back at them and they defended superbly. Dunk was imperious and Minteh chased and chased. Good to see the young lads De Cuyper and Tzimas notch up some goals. Not concerned about losing Baleba, who hasn't been at the races for the team this season - his head is elsewhere and on higher things.

Chris: Very pleased that there was no hangover from the 7-0 drubbing last year! Well done to the boss for the intelligent set-up and substitutions.

Ray: At last, Brighton win a game they could easily have lost!

Nottingham Forest's five-game unbeaten run across all competitions was snapped by Brighton who ran out 2-0 winners in their Premier League meeting at the City Ground on Sunday.

Forest had pulled together an impressive run under Sean Dyche, who took charge when the side were in 18th place in October and had only suffered the lone defeat at Bournemouth which came in his second game.

But the home side were stunned by Brighton who began the game on the front foot and led through Maxim De Cuyper in the dying seconds of the first half.

Forest tried to respond after the break and produced enough chances - in fact, they ended the game with 19 shots - two more than Brighton - but could only get three of them on target.

A Morgan Gibbs-White volley was the closest they got to scoring in the first half while he also saw his effort blocked by his team-mate Ibrahim Sangare just past the hour mark.

Igor Jesus also went close to an equaliser only to be denied by Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen as Forest fell to their first home defeat under Dyche.

The result leaves them in 16th place and only one point behind 18th-placed Leeds United and the Forest boss will hope his players can regroup with games coming thick and fast over the festive period.

They will be back in action against bottom side Wolves at the Molineux on Wednesday before Dyche visits his former club Everton next weekend.

Sean Dyche spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Nottingham Forest's defeat to Brighton: "It's a frustrating one, we started awfully, never got to grips with what we were trying to do. Even the energy, it was flat. After the Lord Mayor's show at Anfield I picked the same side.

"Then after 20 minutes I thought we really started to get a tactical grip on the game, the energy came back, we had a solid first half after 20 minutes. Then we gave away a really soft goal. You've got to manage the game at that moment.

"We don't deliver in a very simple moment, we didn't shift across as a unit at the back and they got a runner through the middle which was dissapointing.

Second half was a good reaction, apart from the mistake it's hard to question the second half performance because it was a very dominant one, we just couldn't find the killer moment."

"You can't wait in this league for someone to give you something it doesn't work like that."

On the impact of players like Omari Hutchinson from the bench: "It's tough on the players, we had such a good result at Liverpool so it's hard to take those players out. It's close calls now, we want that, a group that's producing, there's a really good competitive element in the squad. Everyone is competing for a shirt."

On what he has liked and what needs to improve: "The injury list has not been right since before my time, we need to get them back fit, The edge the players ar playing with, and sharpness, has been pleasing. We have been scoring goals too. But today goes to show you've got to continue with the basics constantly, 95 minute of football, You've got to stay focused on the basics. The first goal, that's a basic team shape error that can't afford to happen.

"There have been some good signs, it would be harsh if they [the fans] had questioned the team after what they've seen [in recent games].

"We were below our minimum level in the first 20 minutes, but we kept a clean sheet during that period that gave us time to get back in the game. I must commend the players for that, they are throwing themselves at it ,throwing bodies and getting in blocks. One we regrouped in the first half it was a solid performance."

What a phenomenal result for Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche at Anfield last week.

People can talk about Liverpool's lack of form as much as they like, but Forest deserve huge credit there.

This is a tough game to call, though, because I always fancy Brighton to score a goal or two.

The Seagulls have only won once away from home all season, but that just makes me think they are going to get a result.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1
