This is Brighton....you expected a perfect pre-season and a glut of strikers available for the first game?

It's about patience though not the first game, look at last season?

I don't understand why Jose isn't fit. OK he was at the world cup but still trained. Did he pick up and injury out there or something? Feels like we are going back to square one with him and it'll take three months to get him playing well again.

He only cost £14m.

Why oh why oh why?
He had an enforced 3 weeks off after the World Cup, so hasn't had much time to play since returning.

Yes, but it would have been nice to be able to hit the ground running. Plus now if thye start slow they'll inevitably be slagged off. I know some on here love a binfest but I'm bored of them...

But his World Cup finished on 3 July, why wasn't he back training on the 24 July and ready to play last weekend.

Andone situation is a bit strange, if he isn’t available for squad selection for Man U game, something is odd.

Locadia is crap.
But he has the already pre-prepared excuse now of "needing a full pre-season, then we'll see the best if him".

Andone will probably be back for Fulham, Izquierdo probably the same. With United and Liverpool so early CH will probs take the time to make sure they're 100% before they come back. Nothing to base this on obviously, just an educated guess on the way CH has done things previously.

Picked up a minor knock while away with Colombia
Based on certain views on here, it's only a matter of time before the inevitable 'n' is added to to thread title.

Not really - he has an injury.
With Locadia, Murray and Hemed fit it would be foolish to rush him into the first team until 100% ready

- the club haven’t kept quiet about him. Or his fitness. Mentioned in multiple press conferences.
- he played in pre season
- it has cleared up which is why he’s going back into training “Tomorrow or Monday” says Hughton today.,
- but you’d probably let him know he needs an Op, the poor lad.

I think they will be level with 25 goals each, Knocky and Izzy both clearing 15 goals each

I think we'll struggle to score goals again this season from the recognised strikers, hoping the rest of the team's contribution is much greater than last.
Murray is still our best striker by some distance and we all know he can't play week in/out or even 90mins. Locadia doesn't strike me as reliable, Hemed tries hard but...Finally, I just have this feeling that Andone won't cut it. As for all the exciting promise of development signings, well, as we've seen, some aren't even geographically close to playing in the first term let alone bench warmers.
