    Disciplinary record

    I'm losing track of the number of yellow cards and who's close to a 1 match ban. Does anyone have a summary or better still a regular site where you can look it up?

    Knockaert-Stephens-Kayal-March

    I don't believe that we will see the best of Solly for several months. It was a bad injury and a long lay off. It may be next year before we see him back as a regular.

    Why didn't we sell Stephens?

    We were offered big money for a key player who was indispensable last year. It's undersrandable that we wanted to keep him, but he will be worth less in January and nothing in the summer. He wanted to go and is now starting too few games. It's a good thing that Norwood and Sidwell are doing so...

    [Albion] Three into two don't go

    I still believe that top 6 is the best we can realistically hope for. To do better we would need luck with injuries and suspensions (not great so far) and to significantly strengthen in January. The most positive thing is that we now have an alternative to Stephens and Kayal. However I don't...

    The Apprentice 2016 thread

    I don't think I've seen such a useless bunch. The men are all testosterone - apart from Dillon. The girls are completely clueless. I can't believe he didn't want to fire all three last night. I guess several of these idiots are being left in to make even more spectacular fools of themselves. Mr...

    Ipswich Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread *** (merged)

    I'm so sad not to be there to see the silky smooth skills of Leon Best again!

    Does anyone here think Trump is a safe bet for Pres?

    I really fear a Trump win. The debates starting tonight will be key. My worst fear is a carefully timed Russian release of more of Hilary's emails in a couple of weeks time -carefully timed to do maximum damage. In addition, any more health scares could derail her campaign overnight.

    What would be needed for Hughton's job to be at risk?

    I'm sure questions will be asked on Here if we don't improve our position quickly. Most likely that won't happen immediately and it will take at least a couple of weeks even if we have the ability to improve. There will be criticism of Hughton on here unless we are in a playoff position, However...

    Dale Stephens . . . either play him, or sell him..

    The club have gambled and appear this time to have got it wrong. They chose not to sell Stephens given that they have one more chance to sell in January. The hope was that he would knuckle down and ensure we were competing for promotion. Then perhaps like Dunk he could be persuaded to sign a new...

    Somethings wrong!

    I think it's going to be a long and disappointing season. How we end up may require very careful management of the January window.

    Brighton & Hove Albion vs Brentford *** Official Match Thread ***

    Unsurprised that Stephens is on the bench - but it's not good news. It questions the upbeat message from CH. I think Tony has perhaps played poker and lost with that situation. He needed to be sold

    Lewis Dunk signs new 5 year contract!

    Noone is mentioning March who I think Is also at the end of his contract...

    Satisfied with our business?

    Compared to last year we are short of Zamora and Wilson up front, with Murray coming in. Both had their problems so on the face of it that's not a bad swap. However it's not the same this year due to the absence of loans. This leaves us seriously exposed. Hemed stayed fit last year. One bad...

    Deadline day: how many in and how many out?

    We're waiting for Pocognoli to be confirmed. It now looks more likely that Dunk and Stephens may stay - but no certainty. Hopefully a striker coming in. Is that all? I expect Ince to go on loan and perhaps Lualua. Who else might we offload today? There are a few candidates... My prediction 3 in...

    Dale Stephens Summer 2016 shenanigans (Merged Thread)

    Everything suggests that the Argus story is likely to be close to the truth. Stephens clearly wants to go and is either refusing to play or (perhaps more likely) Hughton doesn't want to play an unsettled player until or unless this is sorted. If Stephens has his heart set on the premier league...

    Sorry to say this but,

    I don't think Skalak is that bad. However I don't expect him to be an ever present first choice in the team anyway. Seems to me that the understanding with Bong isn't there. At the start of last season Lualua and Bong worked well together. We need either to bring in Rosenior or to experiment to...

    Nothing to cry about.

    We were rubbish. Based on that performance we would struggle to be in the playoffs. If we lose Stephens and Dunk we will struggle to be mid-table. This is a tougher league than ever. If we are to compete we must strengthen significantly...

    Are you excited about the new season?

    As always I'm very excited about the new season. Logically our squad looks strong and settled. However I can't escape a gut feeling that we're not quite ready. We are still at least two signings short and this time we are starting with some injuries. We also can't rely on emergency loans. I...
