In fairness, one guess was always going to be enough.

I believe we can lose to anyone and finishing anything 17th or above is good.
I always think our best chance of Europe is winning a cup. Finishing mid table is amazing for us.

I’m relieved, as I was wondering where you had got to, why the name change ?

Ah, good shout. I hadn't made that connection. I actually thought Eeyore was older but that's probably just my mental image of an elderly donkey.

You seen how many goals we conceded
Interesting, I did a mini prediction of points we would likely finish on and I struggled to get to 55
We will have a good run soon and a few key players coming back. Still think we will finish 6th or 7th. UTAI've come to terms with it.
Have you?

A while back, around the time we won the Europa group we were chatting about PL points totals and I suggested we needed to get to 40 points asap so we can enjoy Europe.Interesting, I did a mini prediction of points we would likely finish on and I struggled to get to 55
I had my realist had on and struggled to get to 40 by the time we play our next European game.
It’s subjective I guess, until we get the results
, but we mustn’t become entitled. Brighton can lose to anyone. It’s the Brighton way.

I always thought 'Brighton Lines' sounded a bit like a title of something. Well, it was, it used to be the title of my site. I wanted to change it. I always used to be know as 'Eeyore' for a nickname. So I decided for a change. I did have 'formerly known as Brighton Lines' in my signature but I guess not everyone saw it. I'll put it back.
We won 18 games last season, 8 so far this season with 17 left we need to win 10 of those just to match 22/23A while back, around the time we won the group we were chatting about PL points totals and I suggested we needed to get to 40 points asap so we can enjoy Europe.

Never expected us to. I said if we finished top 10 and we made it out of the Europa group it would represent a solid season.
No we won’t.
As I said on the match thread, 3 wins in 16 league games, a run bookended by thrashings to Villa and Luton, is relegation form.

Not good enough. We are mid table side.
Should have signed a right back, defensive midfielder (and possibly a goalkeeper).
We should go all out in the cups and sack league off, too many teams around us,

Yeah. We did have an excellent end of season though. I think up until a few games ago we were actually playing over last seasons points per game.
The draws have f***ed us, but for sure we won’t finish as strong. Injuries, mentality and opposition experience means now we aren’t enjoying the role of underdogs / surprise package.
It’s just different I guess. When it’s all said and done if we can challenge in Europe and finish 9-12th place that’s decent.
The EFL cup is a big opportunity for a pass to Europe and we bollocksed that up but I weirdly think we have a better chance winning Europa than we do finishing top 6. And we 100% can’t do both.
