I'm sure the U21's don't count towards the 25 and seeing as most of our squad are still breast feeding, we should be ok
They don't, no. But quite a few of them are Premier League level players expecting to play in the Premier League, and count as first team players whether the registration sees it that way or not.

He better not, I've got a signed shirt framed in my downstairs toilet waiting for me to see. It's been there months and I've still not seen it. I will in 2 weeks though...

Expectation is manageable with a good coach

That’s a level of constipation I can only sympathise with.

Good luck letting go brother.

No coach is good enough to tell some 12 players "you're playing 0-200 minutes of football over the next 9 months".

Like every other even remotely sensible football team in the entire world, Brighton will end up with a squad somewhere between 24-28 players. People need to accept there won't be 37 players in the squad or they're going to get very disappointed in the next few weeks when 10-12 players are going on loan/get sold.

There won't be 37, but I can see it being 30.

Rutter is more of an attacking midfielder. Pedro more of a striker. Some similarities but Pedro will play further forward. Particularly with Welbeck likely to miss game time and Ferguson still crocked. Would be surprised if they don’t play together a fair bit.
