Not to mention the possession stats! Hardly De Zerbi esque, 30% possession

That would be an "old history" lesson...

I suppose if we're praising doubles then Hürzeler is the first Brighton manager ever to do the double over Man Utd. Then again United are really f***ing shit
It does show that spaffing a squillion on players, taking the points hit then kicking on can pay off.
lets hope our season doesn't collapse like last . . . .could still be one of our best ever.

It shows what can happen with virtually no injuries to their squad. We can hope that we'll also have a much more settled squad for the run-in and have the luxury of even naming the same starting eleven,
As I said on the tracker thread, 15 more points out of an available 39 ends with the 2nd best season in our history

Here we go then
Saints A - 3 it must be
B'muff H - 3 it needs to be for Europe
Fulham H - 3 another must win for Europe
Man City A - 0 lets get real
Villa H - 1 if we're lucky
Palace A - 3 why not?
Leicester H - 3 it must be
Brentford A - 0 as ever
West Ham H - 3 it's him boo
Newcastle H - 3 questionable
Wolves A - 3 send them down
Liverpool H - 0 amid celebrations for Ali Mac
Spurs A - 1 they are on holiday, could be 3
Total = 25 points
I'd take that. Means we have to turn up for Fulham, B'Muff and Palace though, which is far from guaranteed

Lovely thought. Would give us 62 points, same as our Europa League qualifying season of 22/23. Incidentally 62 points would have got us 7th last year and no Europe because - God knows how - ManUre won the FA Cup of course. But 62 points this season (with the strong likelihood of having 5 clubs in the Champions League) would almost certainly guarantee European football. Here’s hoping!

Not sure about the De Zerbi-like ness of the performances.
But the two Chelsea games were undoubtedly our best of the season, and were not a result of "trusting the process".
It was great to see the team able to execute 2 cohesive 90 minutes inside a week.
I suspect it wasn't just the Forest tactics which were set light to at the training ground.
If Southampton try to low-block us on Saturday, then I suspect we will struggle against them.
But that won't necessarily be down to Fab.
