Gus won't compromise his view of the way football should be played. Some people may think him arrogant, but I'm happy to have such a principled man in charge. I love our style of play and I am confident that Gus will, with Tony Bloom's backing, build a side that will mount a sustained promotion challenge playing football the "right" way. If this takes another couple of years I'm happy to wait. I just hope Gus doesn't get driven away by the less patient members of the Albion's support.

I believe that the constant long ball is not going to succeed in the Championship but neither is the slow build up,recent games we have had a lot of possession in midfield but has lead to few shots on goal and even less goals.
Poyet must change the system when its plain Plan A is getting us nowhere,there is no point in signing additional strikers and playing one style which other clubs have clearly found the answer too.

Yes. We have to remember this is still relatively early stages of a work in progress when we have got it going it is absolutely fantastic but that is not constant enough yet, if we stick with it we will only get better. Personally I love it and cannot get enough I have not been this excited watching the Albion since the days of Peter Ward.

We are still very much a work in progress. The style of football we play is the way it should be played and is probably the best we have ever played. The only thing not going for us at the moment is first choice players persistantly unavailable and players still needing to get to know each other.
We desperately need the likes of Vicente and Buckley to get fit and stay fit as they have the quality we need to play Gus's style of football at this level.
Give us another season or two and we will be Premiership favourites.

Took Swansea more than a year to perfect the same style, look where they are now. Slowly, slowly catchy monkey.
This season is all about building the foundations of a team that will be equipped for Premiership football within 3 years. Southampton are looking very strong, and I will be surprised if they don't go up, but making so much progress in such a short space of time can come back to bite you, and you could easily see yourselves straight back down from the Prem in 20th place.
Am more than happy for us to patiently build a quality side and watch some beautiful football in the process. Our time will come.

You've said this before - and you were wrong then as well.

I do enjoy it, although I think it is very much work in progress at the moment. Paynter might be the key to it all.

Yes I love watching us keep the ball.
Going forward our players lack the movement or speed to unlock organisied defences in this division at the moment, but Gus knows this and in his words - we will either learn to do it, or get new players who can do it.

Hey! Congratulations on your great start in the championship. I think the style of football we play at the moment is still developing and our players are still adapting to it but undoubtedly it is progressing the club. Gus has a brilliant approach to the game and its always an interesting match. We still are thinking too much about the game and not letting it flow as good as we could and that is what has given us a few bad results. However we started to do at the beginning of this season. I believe that over time and training we will develop a very strong side and keep pushing and playing for top level football. Gus has done a brilliant job and we need to remember we have to walk before we can run, Remembering where we have come from I am sure I can speak for a lot of people when I say watching Brighton this year has been a great , proud and entertaining. I just hope we continue to push the team in the right direction and I cannot wait for the Saints game. For me - one of the highlights of the year. It will be a game to remember!

I actually think, although it grinds my teeth to do it, that Southampton are playing some fantastic football from what I have seen. Strong, ruthless, pass the ball well and hit the top when necessary. But they'll have a bad patch like everyone else and we'll see what they're made of then.

Yes love our style of football but we are a bit shotshy at moment.
Must admit that the passing around the back gives me the yips at times - in moments of panic I have to bit my tongue and resist shouting "Hoof it!" otherwise I would be lynched.
From the little I have seen of Saints this season they seem to play some good stuff and are more direct with it.
