[Football] Relegation for the Albion is historic.

[AmexRuislip]

After beating Crystal Palace last month, the Sussex club were five points clear of the relegation zone with a game in hand. Since then they have lost all four of their league matches without scoring a single goal. After Tuesday night’s defeat to relegation rivals Cardiff City, they now find themselves just two points clear of the drop zone and with a daunting run-in, starting on Saturday at Wolves. Having not spent a single week in the bottom three all season - Cardiff have spent 17 - Brighton look as though they are sleepwalking towards relegation.

Sleepwalking into relegation: why history suggests Brighton are in big trouble

Well I suppose that's that then

We have only one leader, Bruno.

Get Kayal, Burn and Balougin in, they've not ****ed up yet

I certainly think they are worth considering. They must be wondering what they have done wrong to be overlooked during the last three dreadful performances.

Cardiff have got to get 3 points from somewhere, somehow.

Fulham and/or Palace. More chance of getting 3 than we have.

Bruno proved to be a big improvement on Tuesday in my opinion.

So why not?

The team is in need of a shake up so why not?However I don't think shake ups are in CH's mind set.

Then reverting back to tried and tested players to get us out of this mess.The law of averages says they have to come good at some point.

Playing away could be the key. There will not be collective groans around the stadium when the players make mistakes and misplace passes. There may be laughter from the home fans but just maybe the pressure won’t get to the players like it has in the last three home games. Keep Wolves at bay for 30 mins and the belief may start to come back. Go behind and I think we are fecked though.

Desperately hoping for a full blooded defiant and energetic game from the Albion, defence in depth and not conceding has to be the aim today.

There’ll be groaning, just won’t be as obvious [emoji3525]Going behind is the big issue - the players, CH and fans know we’re ****ed as soon as that happens.

The players have to step up and be counted, none of this petty squabbling, just get on with it!

I do find it odd/contradictory that CH said many many times that he wanted competition for every position, and that recruitment was focused on that. He has mainly used that rotation in midfield/attack. I know the mantra is 'keep a settled defence' but it doesn't seem to have worked in the recent games. Now we need results desperately and I think it even less likely CH will opt for Burn, Balogun, Button rotation. CH sees the training, not us - but if those three are not capable of stepping in [not all three together] to give first choice defenders a break from the firing line, then that's poor recruitment or coaching.

I've been supporting the Albion about 41 years, therefore we've been up one more time than down. Although rock bottom for a fair amount of time.
