[Albion] What should be our focus for the last 5 matches?

[Thompson720]

I for one look forward to the prospect of an expansive, exciting, ambitious Brighton team... full of home-grown talent

 

[Eeyore]

The focus is on doing their best to win every game and scoring as many points as possible. That is the way to maintain the 'integrity' of the league. If we expect Liverpool to give their all against Aston Villa then Albion should do the same even if they do become safe.

Every position higher means more funds to the club, and the more points gained breeds more confidence within the team

may also be an attraction for better players for next season

 

[Steve Foster]

1. 41 points, our highest Prem total.
2. 14th place - our highest Prem finish.
3. More starts for today's starting XI - it is our best.

This all the way - it will inevitably show our Board that Connolly needs to go out on loan to a Championship side next year, if we let Murray go & bring in two additional forwards - we should be ok

 

[Papak]

With about £2.5 million per place at stake I imagine Uncle Tony will want us to climb as far as possible up the table...

 

[Mackenzie]

Taking one match at a time and trying to win each in turn.

....and finishing as far above Crystal Palace as possible.

 

[Jim D]

Get Alzate off for his op asap and get him ready for next season.

 

[BeHereNow]

Keep believing we can really beat teams outside the top 4.

Get our highest PL points total and some.

Close the gap to Palace.

Would love to see them lose their remaining 5 games (yes, I know that includes Villa) meaning we would only need 2 wins to finish above them as long as our GD doesn’t take too much of a pounding.

Who have they got?

Chelsea
Villa
Man U
Wolves
Tottenham

BELEIVE!

 

[zefarelly]

A killer instinct.

 

[studio150]

Play as if the games are the first 5 of the season rather than the last 5

 

[warmleyseagull]

Start AJ unless his bags are packed already. We just need to know whether a World Cup player is really as crap as he seems to be.

Worries me that he will do a Norwood and suddenly find something that was there all along but neither CH nor GP could extract.

 

[neilbard]

Confirm safety ( ie mathematical safety ) as soon as possible.

Then Potter can experiment.

He did that on Tuesday night..

 

[brightn'ove]

If anyone thinks we could still go down, you can get 250/1 at betfair.

 

[Hampster Gull]

1. Catching Southampton and being the top club on the south coast
2. A goal for Connolly
3. Blood some more youngsters, maybe Sanders, Cochrane, Jenks or Roberts
4. Build a plan to hit the ground running in September
5. Give Muzza and Ali J some minutes. Both important squad players and true professionals
6. Catch Palace. They have a tough run in. Why not?

I like the cut of your jib

 

[Arkwright]

Get into the habit of playing two strikers, we look so much better with two up front.

 

[Icy Gull]

I just want us to turn up and compete like we have all season. We have a recent record of flip flops and the beach once the basic target is reached

 

[el punal]

Fifteen points. Nothing less.

Typically bloody pessimistic aren’t you?

 

[Billy the Fish]

4. Build a plan to hit the ground running in September

For me this is the priority. The close season is going to be very short this year, we might find for everyone that form carries over into next season.

 

[amexer]

Play Ali J

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I just want us to turn up and compete like we have all season. We have a recent record of flip flops and the beach once the basic target is reached

Having a young team probably helps in this regard. The promotion generation are gradually being phased out as hopefully is the end of season drinking that cost us a league title.
