It doesn't make a season, but it's an indicator of many things. For one thing it shows what the team are capable of, and it shows that Hurzeler does have the ability rouse them.

And that’s where the reservations come. It’s probably the first time we’ve put a sustained performance together over close to 90 minutes, with sensible tactics and a sensible team, all season. And we did it at home - our home form has been abysmal. We also have to remember that we do have some really good football players - they will win games at times, irrespective of the manager.
Although, and I’ll state this again, we always show up against the bigger sides who are more open. It’s when we come face to face with teams that are willing to be more patient and counter quickly that we struggle. Is he going to be sensible and keep a proper two man midfield in place when we play Southampton, B-Mouth, Fulham over the next 3 games (after Chelsea again on Friday), or is he going to resort to playing his usual 4-1-0-0-0-0-5 formation that leaves us open to a single pass through our back line?
I’m glad we won last night, but I’ve seen too much of the same stuff this season to be back on the fence, let alone “In”. But I’m totally willing to be convinced if he continues such sensibilities and shows he is actually learning.
No. But 10th in the league and 5th round of the FA Cup is how the season is going and that’s not a sackable position for us.
Why?
He veers between being one of the more characteristic posters on here and a pompous prat. Who needs lectures on their support from an old soak sitting in front of the TV? I would rather listen to the moaners who turn up and who made the trip to Nottingham last week.
Is the correct answer

This.
Add also a young manager bedding into the EPL and working with players in key positions who have little or no experience of the EPL either - mistakes from both were bound to happen.
We have the youngest manager in the Premier League and this season we have the youngest average start up with Bournemouth and Brentford.
We are top of the League in both the number and severity of injuries this season
Premier League injuries: Have Arsenal and Tottenham suffered most in 2024/25 season?
Arsenal have added Gabriel Jesus to lengthening injury list which includes Bukayo Saka; Tottenham have had own injury crisis this season; follow latest updates from the North London derby in live blog on the Sky Sports app, with kick-off at 8pm on Wednesday
(Although the ‘reactionary nonsense’ is just NSC being NSC - From what Barber has said, the majority of Brighton fans ‘get it’’)

I think a fair few on here are like Chris from the Fast Show sketch in the pub. "So it's Banks in goal".
Well I would be embarrassed if I had constantly posted about sacking a 32 year old manager when we were 10th in the Premier League and still in the FA Cup because we'd lost a couple of games and I couldn't control my emotions or accept that success is not a straight line. So yes, it is embarrassing for those people. I honestly don't understand how these people cope in their own personal lives / careers, when their reaction is to give up and tear the whole thing up and start again every time something goes slightly wrong. It must be an absolutely miserable existence.
And from adults who’ve seen pretty much everything when it comes to watching Brighton.
I don’t mean because we were once shit that we shouldn’t have high expectations now, but perhaps a little more patience through some indifferent form. 15 points from the last 14 league games is below expectations but not even close to considering the sack.

What that’s the second worse result in the club’s history

Obviously you're entitled to your opinion.
Do you know that he, @Harry Wilson's tackle has a lineage that dates back to the Roman times, and Pompous Prat was a well known charismatic empororer often opiniated of VAR in the coliseum
Seems like the Chelsea fans are very much leaning towards Maresca Out. Also, Caicedo is rubbish and him and Fernandez are the worst pound for pound midfield in the Premier League. Dewsbury Hall is a useless waste of money. Sancho is not a Premier League player and Nkunku is an unidentifiable mystery.
And this is all from the literate Chelsea fans in the Guardian comments

Last night was just what the club needed, a real pick me up. I certainly wasn't feeling the love having been in Nottingham last week, but the support was tremendous, notably from the North and I am sure BV would have appreciated them getting behind him in the second half.Obviously you're entitled to your opinion.

It is tedious having to plough through 50 odd posts all saying the same thing, regardless of who the poster is, so I get the frustration, but just think there are better things to focus on right now and if anyone is looking for an easy target, Chelsea have more than there fair share of obnoxious idiot supporters.

I thought at first that you were trying to make @junior look stupid, but then realised it was just an unintentional but accurate side-effect

The funny thing is that you’re the one being reactionary here and allowing other peoples’ opinions to get to you. I don’t know how you cope in your personal life if this is how you react every time someone disagrees with your viewpoint.

My POV would be that we're only BHAFC, not Citeh or ANother, so there's no need to react like we are if we have an off day.
There's more important things in life
People react, because they can and feed off others negativity and sometimes positivity.
Social media gives these people tool to do so.
No social media, more decent well informed disagreements down the pub.
So we're going to have more off days than good ones, who cares.
I'd rather be a real living Albion fan than some repetitive magnet monkey that latches onto others arguments, all for the sole purpose of a reaction.
If all Albion fans were the same NSC would be boring as fvck
I make it 6 years as a manager.
