There's an article in Marca about our Spaniards if anyone's interested: Brighton, un oasis para la 'Armada española' - MARCA.com

Translates roughly as:

Not only the Premier speaks Spanish. 33 Spanish footballers appear in the English League, but second division is not far behind. Up to 16 patriotic players compete in the Championship. In addition, the role of the national is being pretty protagonist. An example of course is what David Lopez, Bruno Saltor, Vicente Rodríguez, Andrea Orlandi and Íñigo Calderón are living in Brighton.
The blue and white set is seventh in the table despite the fact that at the beginning he commanded the classification during several days. "We are going through a slump from which we hope to leave soon. The goal is to ascend", explains David Lopez speaking to MARCA.com. The La Rioja, which came out in summer of the Athletic Club, has become one of the great innovations of a set in which Spaniards have much to say.
"I was surprised as well that is organized and the level of the teams." Many of them have been in the premiership. From the first day the companions and the rest of Spanish players have put it me very easy. I English I understand a little, but not yet mastered it. They try to talk to me slowly in training so all well understand it... and that is welcome! ", tells of Logroño."
His comrade, the former Barça Orlandi, has spent six years in England. "At the beginning all it costs us adapt to the physical and wild game that is played here, but it is something which is arranged with the time", explains the catalan who says "that the team is trained to fight for the ascent". We have a good super group and not only Spaniards, but in general. The idea is to Ascend, that has come to people like David or safe Bruno offered a quantum leap to the club. "It is difficult that we acoplemos us all, but I think that we will gradually go watching the changes and applying the philosophy of touch that asked us the mister", points.
Conspirators
Which is worse happening is the former Valencian Vicente, which is in dry dock by an untimely injury. Despite everything, five Spaniards are happy with a club that drag "an average of 26,000 fans every match". "But the support does not end there, since at each offset often us also join thousands of fans", clarifies Orlandi. The good vibes also moved away from the coaches. "Here the schedules are different to Spain, although in this city have told us that there is more movement than usual. At five o'clock everybody goes to House, but the Spaniards tend to stay with our wives and children to drink or take a stroll. The city is nice and cozy and everything is so much easier", has López.
At the moment, the home is being hopeful both game and sensations. "We just need a little more than success in the goal face", are the protagonists, which ensure that competition is at an even level to the first Spanish"". They say that in Spain there is more quality, but that competitiveness is there higher. The 'Spanish Armada' wants to continue wearing their weapons in Brighton. His dream is to be able to join as soon as possible with their national colleagues from the Premier.

It's a shame we went through such a slump in form recently. I bet a lot of the new players joined because of our high expectations (Bruno, Lopez, Kuszczak, Bridge etc) , but have realised quickly we're not as good as we're portrayed in the media.
If we start scoring a few goals a match, however, I'm sure we can shoot up the league with our solid defence.

It's also a shame Lopez can't start more games, I had very high hopes for him :(

They are professional footballers. I'm fairly sure they realise that you're not always top of the league and not losing . At present there are only 6 teams in a better position and they play in the one of the best stadiums with the highest support in the football league. I would say they're going to be pretty happy myself.
