So we are 2 months into the season, where do you think Brighton will finish in May?

[super-seagulls]

Even money bet you get 1st to 12th, I get 13th to 24th. Say 25 quid?

Don't shout about this, you will have everyone wanting a slice, even money top 12 finish?
We are 1/10 to finish in the top 12 on Betfair!!!
We are 53/50 for a top 6 finish, and 157/50 to finish in the top two.
14/1 to win the league.
66/1 to be relegated.

 

[Crofty]

you obviously feel there are 11 better sides than us Bryan, apart from the obvious, who do you feel are better?

Palace, Leicester, Middlesborough, West Ham, Southampton, Ipswich, Cardiff, Leeds, Derby, Hull, Blackpool

 

[super-seagulls]

Palace, Leicester, Middlesborough, West Ham, Southampton, Ipswich, Cardiff, Leeds, Derby, Hull, Blackpool

Palarse, on the other hand have odds of 7/1to finish in the top 6 and 7/1 to be relegated!

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Said mid table at the beginning of the season and will stick with that but because of the good start lets say 10th...... more players might push us higher.

Palace, Leicester, Middlesborough, West Ham, Southampton, Ipswich, Cardiff, Leeds, Derby, Hull, Blackpool

One swallow never made a summer.

 

[Albion 4ever]

I think if any of West Ham, Leicester and Middlesborough are in the top 6 in January (which they are likely to be) they are likely to splash out big time to try and ensure promotion.
As for the other teams, as others have said, I think anyone can beat each other on their day.
At the start of the season I said mid-table. I still stick by that - We have a small-ish squad that is certainly lacking in some areas of the pitch - This has been done to death on a number of other threads! Just because Norwich went straight up last year does not mean it is the norm - I cannot remember it happening before. The Championship is a tough league and I would be happy with a season of consolodation. Anything else is a bonus!

 

[The Grockle]

i know its all about opinions Badg but ffs, 18 teams better than us?

Badge? I think VAG is more apt for this negative, moaning knobhead.

 

[Mellotron]

Said 5th at the start of the season and stick by that. People are overreacting to the Palace result.

 

[Marshy]

I still think we'll finish 5th or 6th. The squad is fairly strong and Tuesday was our first truly shit outing in a dozen games. I bet teams like Middlesbrough haven't got players as good as Will Hoskins, Will Buckley or Vicente ready to step in.

If we had lost to Peterborough in that manner on Tuesday but beaten Palace 2-0 earlier on, would the wrist slitters on here be talking about a 12th place finish having been top 2 weeks ago? And 19th? f***ing hell, I ask you.

Bloody wise words, the over reaction on here has been staggering.
Or even if we had held on and got the 3 points against Leeds. We would be sitting top ! Yes top !

 

[ees complicated no?]

8th for me

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

6th for me

 

[Pantani]

10th for me with the current squad. Would depend who we signed in January though. Don't think we need specific positions replaced so much as a raising in physicality. Our midfield needs toughing up the most, in my opinion, but a few bigger stronger players are needed where ever they play.

 

[Brovion]

19th

Ah our very own Jonah, TCB, is back! Didn't hear hide nor hair from you last season once we hit the top (or through this pre-season) - but we go four games without a win and you reappear!

19th. Classic! (Although probably the best we can do with that muppet Poyet in charge, eh?)

 

[Trigger]

Top... Top of the bottom half, 13th.

 

[k2bluesky]

7-11th - We've seen against Leeds, Palace and Blackpool that while we can play pretty football for some of the match, we will need a bit more 'steel' in the side to progress further and play for 90 mins at that level, rather like Arsenal need to do.

 

[Bognor Bystander]

would take 6th before the season started and think on our day we can beat anyone in this division. Believe.

 

[Storer 68]

At the beginning of the season I was thinking a top ten finiish, possibly around 8th or so but with no real interest in getting to the play offs.

now, having seen the team in a few games and not seen any team look better quality than us (except Liverpool obviously), my confidence is sky high. This is looking like the best season since 1978-79. I have us down for second. Leeds game was the one I was measuring us by in terms of quality and the comeback showed real quality. That's how we got into the top flight last time. althouhg being BHA we will probably mess up a play off campaign.............................

no one has played us off the park yet. Admittedly we were below par at Leicester and very offf colour v Palace but every team has an off day

 

[Biscuit]

4th.

I genuinely belive we are the 4th best team in the league so why not? Only West Sham, Leicester, and Saints ahead of us in my book.

This, is realistic.

 

[Don Quixote]

We have Vicente for goodness sake, surely we should be coming first with a player like him?
