[Albion] To Avoid Hürzeler Bashing - The Staying Up and Europe Tracker - season 2024-25 Game 25 Update

[brighton_tom]

If the 40 points tracker is almost achieved, and 60 points is seen as in with a shout of Europe... what would represent a good, or satisfactory first season for FH? Europe would be great, but to say a 60+ point season is what FH needs to achieve in his first season to keep people happy would be quite a strict ask. So what would the minimum points be for you to say 'yeah he's had a solid first season, im happy with that'? I feel anything around mid 50s would be a decent first season effort.

The "staying up" tracker shows 10 home fixtures where we would hope for 3 points as these are the bottom 10 sides based on last season's finishing positions...

We have so far played 7 of these fixtures and not won ANY of these, (W0 D5 L2) . Last season's top 10 (actually top 9) have provided us with plenty of "bonus" points but our struggle to win the "easier" fixtures is baffling.

I'm delighted we have responded so well to the Forest game, but predicting any sort of outcome for Brighton must be a gambling minefield

Last night Chelsea had most of the possession; we were the team looking to catch them on breaks. At Forest we had most of the possession.

It is obviously simplistic, but we are much better at "breaking" than against any kind of organised defence. As people have said before - Liverpool can do it, and Arsenal did it today without playing well. We don't seem to be able to work out how to do it (or aren't good enough) when teams are defending in depth.

Absolutely this. Difficult to get that right at home to the lower teams and that’s our problem.
