Didn't win from a losing one either for a couple of seasons, but Oscar managed to put that bogey to bed within about 5 games by being positive.

Oscar's first two games were losing from a winning position!

So? He's got us more points and a higher position than we were at this stage last season even though we have been racked by injuries and he's a Championship rookie.
Are you ever gonna get into the Oscar or are you forever on the Gus bus?
True and we have also managed to get a few points with late equalisers so that is a big positive.

What does into the Oscar mean? We are one point down on last season.

If you really need it explaining it means when are you going to embrace our new manager rather than finding a reason to keep preferring the Gus days.

I'm not sure Oscar would appreciate me embracing him. I haven't missed a home game yet, and done several away games. Am I enjoying it as much as last season? No, but I'm getting there. My mojo went completely at the beginning of the season but it is gradually returning although I am gutted about Barnes.

Fair enough. I'm really enjoying the evolution and the fact that we seem to have more about our game and teams no longer find it easy to stop us playing. I found that so frustrating last season. Are we good enough to do as well as last season? With Barnes out and Bridcutt looking like he's on his way out, coupled with Crofts injury, possibly not. All depends on who we bring in, but. I am certainly enjoying watching us more this season even if we don't have as much possession, we are much less predictable.

After 25 games last season, we had 37 points so two points up. I was a big fan of Gus but I have to say I doubt we'd be where we are now, with the injury problems we've had, with him in charge. Oscar has got on with the job very quietly and deserves a lot of credit.

Agree with this. I also get the impression that we're beginning to click and that Oscar's ideas are steadily working their way through. Without wanting to get too excitable, it took a while at Maccabi Tel Aviv, but things really kicked on towards the latter part of the season. I think I'm right in saying that we've only lost two in the last fifteen which is a pretty good run in anyone's books. This will be challenged, as it looks like our next four games will all be away from home.

Exactly this.

There are certain inner city clubs' fans some of whom will always regard Brighton and its fans as 'boring' because, essentially, they revel in coming from a gritty s##thole and hark back to the days when travelling away was a dangerous experience. See also Millwall, Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday. Leeds fans were quoted on the lines of ' we don't want to give fans a 'good day out''. It's the footie equivalent of inverted snobbery.
In contrast on Saturday, I bumped into an old bluenose work colleague I'd lost touch with who is the epitome of a dour Brummie, and he could not have been more delighted with our resurrection, the Stadium and the drinking in Lewes opportunity etc. etc.

PS I don't remember Brum ever coming to the Withdean - that might have given them some perspective.

Judging by the 25 likes his post got, I can't be the only one who thought [MENTION=19076]AGT[/MENTION] was the Birmingham fan who had written the report.
