[Albion] Are we as good as I think we are?

[Barnet Seagull]

Seems a long time ago since watching the likes of Munday, Minton and FDM.

Yet I sit here after watching the tail-end of last season a decent pre-season and our first few games thinking (perhaps optimistically and naively) that I havent seen many better coached sides than us.

I'm struggling to think of many squads who adapt tactically so effortlessly and optimally; and I mean, ever.

I've been one of those who pointed to the quality of coaching even when going on those long winless streaks but it seems as a squad the capability to execute has improved.

I'm really not one to get carried away usually but this team and these performances are pushing me to the uncomfortable position of considering European football next season.

European football. For a team like us.

So, is this just hyperbole? Or is anyone else sensing something special about to happen?

Counting and chickens come to mind. it's happening, if not this season ...then soon

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

The best I've ever seen from us since 75/76 when I started supporting The Albion.
I believe this is the season we break into being a top six team.

 

[Swansman]

Nope. Not that good.

And when Brighton lose three or four games in a row at some point, the team also won't be as bad as some will think.

Yes, not enough quality to be a top 4 but no reason why we can't be the best of the rest so to speak

No we're not that good and we definitely, definitely aren't going to be getting European football this season. I hereby cancel out this jinx and it's null and void, footballing gods.

 

[Perkino]

Moises Caceido. Since his involvement in the side we have been on a fantastic run something like 27 points from 12 starts

Yeah, but it seems like yesterday...

Coincides with welbeck taking maupays spot. Need to sign a striker with height as back up.

I hesitate to say it but yes. We have looked as good as any team this season and much better than most. Of course it may and probably will go pear shaped but we are one of the best and most attractive teams in the country at the moment

 

[Worried Man Blues]

No, easy to get carried away, over excited!

Steady!
We'll be alright once we get the coca cola kid in, we'll be able to secure our league status

Give it a run of bad games you won’t feel the same. Enjoy it but don’t let it get to your head too much.

 

[Frankworthington]

No

We really should be beating teams like West Ham

 

[Bodian]

After 3 games last year we had six points, and I was very pleased. We had played Everton, Burnley, Watford

Seven points from the Manchester, Newcastle and West Ham United is something else.

 

[upthealbion1970]

Yes we look good but we are 3 games into the season

 

[timbha]

Nope. Not that good.

You don’t have a clue what the OP is on about!

As I've said, we haven't played anyone in form(very good)

Should be a good match next week. My big hope is that we emerge unscathed - I get the impression that Ted Lasso riles up Dirty to really "kick some ass"
