Review
With a few changes made since midweek (particularly Bong and Guererro starting) we didn't have much gel today. The new guys tried hard but it was still down to Yeat to make the chances and for Ameobi to keep oroviding crosses until he was taken off at half time for Joe Lolley. This is the first defet for Chris Hughton, but we still haven't got a goalscorer.
