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

Here are some of your comments:

Brighton fans

Bob: It was a very slow start. Giving away possession and conceding an early goal showed the need to tighten up and keep the ball. The second half showed our potential. We missed a few chances but we are a young team and will learn from our mistakes.

Steve: Hard to explain such a transformation in attitude and performance, from a most inept first half to a totally dominant second. If we find a way to play for 90 minutes, we could be top six.

Jon: Terrible first half, better second half. It was again a case of Hurzeler putting square pegs in round holes, why the heck does he do this? Costinha looked sharp when he came on at right back. We had proper wingers available but the manager persists in finding somewhere for his favourites to play. He needs to learn, this is not all about him, and play players in the correct positions.

Jack: Very sloppy start from us by conceding the early goal. The second half was much better as we got a goal to make a draw. I hope we learn from this match that our signings need to step up fast before we play against Coventry because all our key players are injured.

Leeds United fans

Risey: Tanaka was outstanding today. Dominic Calvert-Lewin led the line very well against two strong central defenders. Overall a great team performance. It's a shame to not be travelling back with three points but heads should be held high as it is never an easy place to go for any team.

Billy: Maybe we should have put the game to bed in the opening half but to focus on the positives, if we were offered a point prior to the game, most would have taken it. Nice to see Jayden Boyle up his game after a disappointing performance against Brentford. Two home games against Newcastle and Crystal Palace before the international break. We should be targeting at least four, if not all six points.

David: Before the match I would have accepted a point but we should have won after the first-half display - so many missed chances. The Seagulls are a good team but obviously missing key players.

Chris: A great display but the number of good chances to score, missed by numerous players, highlights the fact that we all know. Leeds need a striker with a killer instinct, or maybe they should spend a couple of hours after training practicing scoring goals!
