We asked for your thoughts after Wednesday's Carabao Cup game between Brighton and Wolves.

Here are some of your comments:

Brighton fans

Kev: Another performance that highlights what we are and where we are at. We are an exciting work in progress. Lots of new faces under a young manager, with the highlight again being Carlos Baleba. He is another player off the Bloom production line who looks destined for a great career. Winning when you're still finding your new identity is very encouraging. Roberto de Zerbi who?

Hugh: There is so much talent going forward. Baleba is so composed, powerful and confident. Adingra is so gifted. Ferguson looks like he is getting back to his best. We are a bit shaky at the back, but I think that can be put down to the lack of minutes together? At least I hope so! Exciting times ahead. Hurzeler is still unbeaten and it is setting up to be a very interesting game on Sunday!

Phil: The overall passing from Brighton was amongst the worst I've seen in a long time. They gave away the ball so many times, including goalkeeper Steele who gifted Wolves their second goal with a touch that was never going to reach the Brighton defender. It was very surprising and disappointing for a Premier League side.

Peter: I thought we looked quite poor in defence to be honest and we were quite lucky to get through. We are still through though, so I suppose that's all that matters. I did think Baleba looked very good and he scored an absolute cracker. A nice cameo and goal for Ferdi too. But we have to tighten up the defence and please stop mucking about in the area!

Wolves fans

Steve: A battling performance from Wolves. Unfortunately, and as usual, it was only a battling performance and not a win. Maybe they will come good eventually - I hope it's not in the Championship next season though, but that is looking more and more likely. There doesn't seem to be much belief from the players. The talent is there, but is the belief?

Bob: O'Neil has to get rid of his obsession with playing four at the back. He needs to get the defence tight and organised. We have the cattle but no idea how to use them.

Luke: I said this team will be bottom by Christmas and it looks like I'll be proven right, unfortunately. The manager is the biggest problem.

Don: The club shouldn't have given a four-year contract to this inexperienced manager after last season's end run. It was a big mistake.

Miguel: We might be going through a period of bad results but we should look at laying the blame on the players that are being picked to play and then the manager. If I was on the board, I would suggest that the club puts O'Neil on probation for the next few matches and, if things don't improve, then start looking for a replacement. I would maybe look at Gareth Southgate.
