[Albion] Could we...

[A1X]

...finish above Man Utd in the league?

Yes it's a long shot, but we're 7 points behind with a game in hand. If we win there in the week, it's on isn't it?

They really aren't all that.

 

[Smirko]

There goes the win, here comes a 4-0 drubbing!

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Win our games in hand, do the double over them and match their results for the rest of the season, then yes we will.

In reality, no. But considering we've never finished above them in our entire history, the fact we're having this conversation is nice

 

[Baldseagull]

I'm still hoping (faintly) we can squeak 4th.

 

[dadams2k11]

Way, way, way, ahead of yourself. It's nice to dream but like posted above, we would have to do the double over them, plus win our game in hand, then match their results for the rest of the season.

Tough, tough ask, but not entirely impossible.

It's good to be in this position to even be talking about it.

You're faintly hoping? I'm hoping out of every pore of my body that we do that.

Its not even the kind of hope that kills you, its the kind of hope that gets you dreaming and laughing and going to bed with a smile on your face.

To think i used to dream of us beating Leyton Orient!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Yes, they're shite and getting worse. (Doesn't mean we will beat them though but I am quietly confident)

 

[Grassman]

To think i used to dream of us beating Leyton Orient!

We struggled to do that on more occasions than I care to remember…..

 

[Jeremiah]

Probably not but we are a better team them they are.

(Always helps to be given a penalty nearly every other game)

The same thought did occur to me earlier. We probably won’t but it’s nice to dream.

Does this make Tuesday’s game a 6 pointer?!

 

[LamieRobertson]

One game at a time and all that

Yeah, like I said, it’s a long shot. Thought occurred really because the gap is the same as us to Palace (albeit we also have a game in hand over them), and who among us doesn’t harbour that nagging feeling that somehow…

Palace will finish above us, you can count on that. Olise and Eze are Rolls Royce players - they've told us enough times. There is no striker better than Eddie and that Back Four is the stuff of dreams. The Galacticos come to South Norwood. Meanwhile back in the real world Palace are still looking over their shoulders. I don't think they'll go down, of course I don't..... but wouldn't it be something after all their hubris?

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Remember going there for the FA cup game and thinking ' oh well,at least it will be a good day out'

All of this. Yes it's a nice conversation to have, but we still have nearly half the season to go, and as well as we are currently doing, (and we are . . . we really are!), l think there's a tendency to get a little carried away.

Let's just enjoy the slow but steady progress that we are making.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

If we beat them then I can see us finishing 8th yes (and missing out on Europe but with a chance to kick on the following season if we can retain key players). Would be quite the success to do.

 

[Icy Gull]

I am a long time Brighton fan so reading the stat that Ronaldo hasn’t scored for 6 games is a worry

The great stat is they have taken the lead and been pegged back in their last two games.

Will we finish above them? Tall order but with the way we have been improving and they have been stuttering, yes yes we can.

 

[Icy Gull]

To think i used to dream of us beating Leyton Orient!

Those were the games of the season for me at one time and for a while we kept losing or drawing them

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Could? Yes
Will? Probably not.
