David Healy must have had a bit of reverse déjà vu on Saturday. The team full of expensive signings who were supposed to easily beat a team of journeymen professionals were struggling to make any sort of impact and were behind, in this case by 2-0. Unfortunately, he went and ruined it all by scoring two goals to equalise and then it finished 3-3 in the end, but what a great game it was.

The team was unchanged from the win over Plymouth and came out full of confidence. Unfortunately, so did Leeds and for the first ten minutes they were all over us and could have scored a couple, but we kept them out and then got our passing game going and got back into the game. Dan Harding was roundly booed every time he got the ball and seemed very apprehensive about coming into the corner of the pitch, above where 1,000 or so Albion fans were massed. Sebastian Carole gave him a difficult time and our first goal came from an attack down that side. The cross came over to Leon who slid in and put it away. We had settled down very well and were playing some excellent stuff. Most of our attacking play was down the right (were we targeting Harding as a weak link?) and subsequently Albert Jarrett had little chance to do much but the midfield was strong, the defence resolute and Jake and Leon up front were causing problems for Leeds lumbering central defenders.

When Leeds did get through Henderson pulled off some great saves and we didn't look at all out of place. We went in at half time with that 1-0 lead and hopes of hanging on for the win. Dean Hammond had even hit the bar just before half time with a header so we could have been ahead by more. Little did we know what was to come.

More of the same was the answer at the start of the second half. Carole got through on a break out of defence and from Harding's side of the box rifled the goal into the net, similar to Healy's goal against England the other night! Two nil and the Albion fans were delirious. We weren't expecting this, but perhaps we should with the football we were playing.

Leeds were rattled and brought on two subs who were to change the game. They pushed us back and started to look dangerous. Healy scored one and we were panicking a little. Then he got a second and we were deflated but kept trying to play our passing game. Another smooth break out of defence brought our third. A cross from Leon was deflected into our net by Sean Greg an and we thought that we'd won the game. Leeds swarmed forward again and we got into injury time without conceding. Three added minutes were nearly over but Healy got free again, Henderson saved but couldn't hold on to the ball and the rebound was despatched for a 3-3 draw. Leeds reacted as though they'd won the league, not just a point!

After the game, their local phone in was all about how they should have won against a team like Brighton and no-one gave us any sort of credit. If we can continue to improve and play this passing game we shouldn't have any problem achieving mid table mediocrity for a change this season.
