[Albion] Points in November

[Hugo Rune]

These fixtures yielded us the full 9 points last season but how many do you think we’ll get this time round?

Nov 6th Brighton v Newcastle
Nov 20th Aston Villa v Brighton
Nov 27th Brighton v Leeds

I’ve certainly got my eye on overhauling West Ham who have two Europa fixtures to navigate as well as taking on Liverpool & Citeh.

I think we’ll get 7.

 

[Smirko]

A steady 5 points

 

[Coldeanseagull]

6,7 or 9

 

[lawros left foot]

8..

 

[Fat Boy Fat]

I would hope for 6 or maybe 7 to be greedy.

On paper they all look beatable, equally we are quite capable of turning in a duff performance and get turned over by any of them.

We need to get to a position of fear, where teams think we are going to beat them! That's a little way off yet...

 

[Rugrat]

Although 9 points might sound a bit ambitious, looking at each of those games in isolation then I think most would say we are more than capable of winning them.

If we put on Liverpool/Arsenal (and not Norwich/Everton) performances then very confident of 9

 

[brighton_tom]

I think we'll get more but 4 points or above is acceptable.

 

[bluenitsuj]

All winnable so 9 points please. I am sure the players will be looking for 9 points as well.

If we play like we did yesterday and 2nd half v City then 9, I’m actually being serious, in the past this is exactly where the Albion’s wheels would fall off, something feels different now though somehow. I think it’s squad depth, with the exception of Big Bob and maybe Dunky/Yves I’d say no one player is guaranteed a start now, and they know it.

A lot depends on the next 5 days with Biss too sadly, we look a different proposition with Yves in the side, he was the best midfielder on the pitch yesterday, closely followed by Mwepu and Lallana.

I'm daring to dream of the full nine but this is the Premier League and we could just as easily lose the lot.

I think we'll beat Newcastle as we've just gone toe to toe with Liverpool and not looked any worse than them. Play like that and we will win by two or three.

Villa I'm less sure about. They are a Jekyll and Hyde team and it really depends which Villa turns up. Also, I'm going up there on my annual chaps jolly. We've done this every season for about 8 seasons now and seen one Albion goal - and that was an own goal.

Leeds too. They strike me as a side like we were last season. Much better than their results suggest. Would be lovely to see them relegated but I don't see it.

4, on the floor.
Or on the door.
I'd prefer more.

 

[The Optimist]

9 points is certainly possible. Looking at the December's fixtures as well we've got the opportunity to get a lot of points before the end of the year.

So you've only seen 1 Albion goal, which was an own goal? Didn't we beat them 2-1 with goals from Welbeck and solly?

4 would be satisfactory, anymore than that very good.

However, you know we are capable of 9 and I think it's really down to us, regardless of what they do

That hasn't always been the case the last few seasons.

Errrrrrrrrr, if he was in Villa Park for that match then I’m calling that he’s Uncle Tony!!

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

8..

I would be impressed if we get 8 from 3 games. I know in the Papa John's trophy you can get two points for a draw if you win the penalty shootout, but didn't think it applied to premier League yet.

I would go for 5 but hope for 7

No, this jolly I do with a few others - we do one a year at different places every season. Barnsley, Blackburn, Burnley, Preston and a few others.

Newcastle bound to end their winless strak somewnere, and at some point Leeds will get their frst away win. Wonder where and when these events will take place? Oh, and Villa seem to be a bit of a bogey team for us (only one win in the last 40 years) ......................

Still, we could be pleasantly surprised, eh?
