Never late in a V8
I'm in.
I am one of the few who still regards Poyet as an Albion legend... and even I would say what we're experiencing now under Potter surpasses what Poyet did with that struggling League One team who went on to win the league "****ing brilliantly".
Our time in the Premier League so far has been as expected. We have been relegation fodder who has relied on rigid defensive displays to grind out results.
Not anymore.
Under Potter, we are playing like the big clubs do. We're coming at our opposition with confidence. We're dominating possession. We're making and scoring plenty of opportunities. We can beat sides including the Champions League finalists 3-0 on our day.
We go 1-0 up. Sit back and defend? No. We're looking for a 2nd. A third. Like the big clubs play.
Down to 10 men? Backs to the wall? No. We will stick to our philosophy and play football. We were so unlucky not to get a deserved point v Villa.
Potter has been a true revolution so far. I really can't believe how a manager can change a club so much in such a short time.
How many times did we score 3 in a game last season?
If we didn't have men sent off v Southampton and Villa, chances are we'd be appropriately higher than 9 goals in.
I don't think our goalscoring is, or will be, an issue this season. Those two unfortunate games are really disguising how good we have been this season, in every department.
If we deserved a point but didn't get one, then we are by definition unlucky.We were not unlucky but more down to being naive other than that I would agree. We deserved a point but couldnt play to get one.
I’m in, balls deep

No not true, we deserved a point by the way that we played until the 4th minute of added time and were undone by stupid play.
In that case we didn't deserve a point. You can't have it both ways.
Thank you very much - I will (because I'm right!)Have it your way.
Quite agree, but that's a different argument altogether.Villa didnt deserve to win.
Genuinely believe he'll be at a top 6 team at some point in the future
I love Potter's style of football.
To the idiots who base everything on the results, we lost 4-0 to City, had more possession than City throughout the game, plus Guardiola really praised us and our footballing style. I personally thought the game against City up until the Spurs game was the best football we'd ever played in my eyes even so we lost 4-0.
Yesterday Palace played City, only had 29% possession, 2 shots on target but only lost 2-0. The fools who claim results are everything would have Palace down as doing better than us based on stats, but in reality, we played like a team who could match City for possession and had a fair few chances to nab a goal. We did miles better than Palace but yet according to results they did better than us which proves we've got to stop with this 'results mean everything' crap and sit back and realise the football we're now watching, the more competitively even matches we get to enjoy, the attractiveness in our football and how this style will not only suit more skilled, talented players but it'll attract more too.
a truly great time to be a Brighton fan. Enjoy.
Potter= The English Wenger. .
