Remind us how many points off the drop zone!
The current deluge of fear and foreboding suggests that everyone is aware of that stat.
Remind us how many points off the drop zone!
......Probably go and beat Chelsea now .....

Martin O'Neill turned down Stoke, so that is at least a small positive.
They need to remain "not fit to wear the shirt".
It's actually embarrassing today, anyone would have thought we had already been relegated...
FFS... get a grip.
If we're not setting up to have a go at teams, we're done for. A pattern has emerged, we are FAR too passive on the road, showing far too much respect, just looking to contain, keep the score down and maybe nick something late on. But even the poorest PL teams have enough quality where eventually they're going to hurt you.
No away goals since November at Swansea, over 10 hours ago tells its own tale. That is dismal. We're better than this, but we play with fear. I just knew we'd get turned over yesterday.

We haven't scored away for 10 hours and haven't really looked like it either.
Our victory's have come against teams at the right time (West Ham (Bilic), Swansea (Clement), depleted Watford etc).
Our only pace is Izquierdo and he's been asked to support Bong for most of his time here who is in no way good enough for the PL imo
AK and Solly are struggling to believe in themselves going forward but with the amount of defending they do, is it any wonder?
We sit back when we have the lead and it has costed us (Bournemouth x2, Everton)
We haven't got the firepower needed to beat Palace, Stoke and Burnley at home.
Hughton's policy of everyone back at corners is completely failing and shows no signs of changing
We have and are failing badly with recruiting a forward.
I'm not shitting the bed but as things are we're down. West Brom, Stoke (with a new manager) will get more points than us. That said one signing and a bit of confidence can change all that. We're Brighton. We fight back.
That has been shown many times this season and it comes from............... the management team, strategy, game plan and team selection.
I think we’re entitled to be a bit concerned about the possibility of relegation. I appreciate no team is relegated in January but I struggle to see how things will improve at the moment. To date 3 of our 5 wins have been against clubs in total disarray; we cannot bank on future opponents falling apart in the way West Ham, WBA and Swansea did at the start of the season. We have a serious and seemingly unsolvable set-piece issue coupled with an odd approach to defending which seems to be based on grappling opponents as opposed to marking them or attacking the ball. We are not scoring anything like the amount of goals we need. We are very slow and predicable. We are regularly dropping points against low ranking teams. This is how I currently see it and I struggle to see how this will dramatically improve without serious change in managerial approach and fresh players.
I agree, CH needs to sort his players out, its becoming embarrasing.
Always the wireless listener's that start these threads.It's actually embarrassing today, anyone would have thought we had already been relegated...
