Many teams have been relegated after their fans have been saying for months 'we are too good to be relegated'. Do we fall into that catergory?

I think that unless we strengthen our obvious weaknesses we will be saying the same come May 06.

IT IS VITAL THAT WE STAY UP FOR THE FINANCIAL FUTURE OF THIS CLUB.

I think we are in danger of falling into that trap.

However one good thing is that we are still in touch with the teams around us and no one is running away...yet.

Lets be honest there are some games we aint gonna get anything out of and Stoke away is one of them.

No, of course we're not too good. We are one of the worst sides in the league and that's pretty much a given. Our task is simply to try and survive.

Leon is too good to be dropped....allegedly. Does relegation work the same way?

How much financial difference does it make out of curiosity? We dont get any cash from away games and still charge the same amount for home games. We might miss out on one sky game what else is there?

Probably a thousand of those new seats being empty.

The biggest incentive is entering the 3rd round of the FA Cup and a possible big draw away again plus we need to fill Falmer when we get there and after the first few weeks we will not fill it playing Colchester and Lincoln etc.

We shall need the big clubs of the Championship with their large away following to fill our ground for us, to give us the money to kick on the next stage of our developement.

One of the few things in our favour is the fact that there is a whole gaggle of clubs in this division that aren't very good. Sheffield Wednesday, Derby County, Hull City, Crewe, Plymouth Argyle, Coventry City and Millwall aren't exactly fearsome and we've only lost to 1 of those teams so far this season. It also seems like Norwich are going to replicate Leicester's performances last season following relegation from the Premiership.

We HAVE to start finishing off the chances we create. Either that means our current strikers learn how to do that, or we get someone in on loan who can.

Come on we are not that bad - Stoke would have been difficult on the best of days. Some individual players who on the day will play there socks off. Okay we have problems getting balls in the net but it can be done. If we can build the players up & they can perform like they did at Palace, then thing will change. The difference in points between us & mid table is still achievable & we are lucky other teams have similar perforamce issue too. Come on it is not over yet - we have a long way to go.

Are Brighton too good to be relegated?

Are you having a laugh?

No one is too good to go down thats one thing I've learnt. Your team needs confidence. Once you got that your away and flying.

We are not good enough to get away with playing 4-4-2 away from home. That's the way to relegation. The squad is not strong (physically as well as talent and strength in depth) enough in midfield either.

The way I see it is 4-4-2 may be best right now because the players seem incapable of playing any other way.

4-4-2 is the way to relegation but it's the best way for us to play?
