It's true, I was a little surprised. I'd blocked out the pain of Villa doing the double over us. Obviously we shouldn't lose to Brighton at home but beating Villa against the run of play will be important. We can't always deserve to win.

I think we're going to see more of this as we go on. Clive from AV said something like "if we want to improve on last season, we have to turn losses into draws and draws into wins". Well, I can 100% see us conceding three or four playing with 10 men against Brighton for an entire half and dropping all three points. It hurts, because I'm pretty sure we didn't get a single red last season, but I highly doubt anyone other than City will keep a clean sheet against us, and that gives us a fighting chance to draw/win.
