I understand some people's frustration but its a topsy turvy league. Apart from Southampton no other team is consistent so far.
We ARE currently on relegation form but this can change and suddenly we right back up there.
Had we had started on this current form and won our last 6 then we would be saying how good we are. I still believe on our long term plan and not expecting overnight success.

only 4 points off 21st place
glass half empty : 4 points of 21st place
glass half full : 4 points off playoff place
I think that's put petty well. I have no idea what's gone wrong ... we spent a decent amount of money I thought and defo have most positions covered with Championship quality players but it doesn't feel we've got any teeth at all coming through midfield. Everything seems to go through Noone and he's being given no space at all now. There's bugger all between us and the bottom 6 and if that's what we're destined for all I can say is I'm disappointed. Will continue to support regardless as I've done all my long life but surely we're better than this?

The realism dig54 is that we have taken 4 from 27 and that is relegation form in anyones eyes. It has to be halted and that`s what the debate is going to be about.
Injuries have played a part of course but Jesus, how many times has Noone failed to clear the first defender from corners and crosses in the last 3 games. I like him but its so f***ing frustrating at times.

Agreed 100%.......if these players were playing week-in weekout and our performances did not improve THEN i would start to worry. Some of the players we have to replace the above just cant cut the mustard in this league. We must be patient and wait for our top players to return.

I think its harsh to have a go at Poyet and his style, its not so long ago that I saw Brighton getting turned over at the likes of Stockport and playing diabolical long ball shite, Poyet got you up by playing some great passing football and has tried to continue to do so in the Championship which is a tough league....you are going through a rough patch at the moment but personally I believe you should continue to back Poyet to the hilt, hes a good manager....
its frustrating that you arent winning at the moment, but dont yearn for the long ball days just because the passing style isnt working at the moment.....onwards and upwards
Brighton will never be in a relegation battle, I don't understand the point of this topic, so you guys are going through a bad patch, you have one of the best teams in this league. Every team goes through bad times it was never going to be as easy as some of you thought, the Championship is a hard league, a very hard league. Just look at the fact you made yourselves equals to us(Leeds) when you played us, and we were 7th last season and were sitting in the top 6 most of last season too, which proves you're not going down.
31 games left to go, a possible 93 points up for grabs.
Also nothing at all in this league.

Agreed. But will it be too late by then? How badly will our confidence be dented if this bad run continues for much longer?

I agree. 4 from 27 is very worrying and fans have every right to be worried. The deluded fans I was referring to were the ones who were in the mind set of 'no one can be negative ever'. As shit as our form is though I still believe were be ok. And gus is still the man!

Yes but how many of these are actually competetive at championship standard in the system we play?

All of us here know in our hearts we are f***ed and in a battle to stay up .. No ifs no buts . It hurts like hell but let's be frank we are not good enough to grace this league . Premier league ground div one team ..
I was quoting someone who basically said that Poyets style was annoying and you didnt have the players to play it, so in a roundabout way yes, at very least the passing style was called into question even if a long ball game was not explicitly advocated...
That would make sense if you had a bad team, you don't.
