Trying to think of a time since the end of the Goldstone when things have felt this gloomy from an Albion point of view.

I know Gillingham was a ball ache and there was some wet and windy nights at Withdean, but what is going on with our club at the moment feels farcical.

Ferguson going from a £100m striker to being sent to a direct rival on loan.

Barco farce.

Rumoured discontent within the dressing room.

The board making calamitous decision after decision on transfers whilst popping up on a new podcast each week sucking up the plaudits.

A clueless baffoon of a manager.

Never ending injuries (which I think might be down to the players not being motivated to play/get fit for manager).

Endless crap performances at home.

Loosing 7 - 0 to a #teamslikeforest

I could go on...

For context, at the moment the opening post above was written, Brighton are 10th in the Premier League table and at no real risk of relegation.

You need to open your eyes and see the bigger picture. It's apologists like you that'll watch this club walk into the championship.
For further context, Brighton are currently 17 points clear of the relegation places with 14 games of the season remaining, with a +25 goal difference over 18th placed Leicester City.

plus two weeks ago we beat Utd at Old Trafford, OK they are not in a good place but still a worthy achievement.

There’s always this separation in our fans between those that want to progress and those in the ‘remember where we came from’ group who will forever be grateful as long as we aren’t in the relegation positions, and many of this group would still be happy as long as we’re not getting relegated from L2.

Both are respectable positions to hold, but the lack of empathy from the latter group is something I personally find strange.

The reality is that the 3 teams at the bottom of this league are dreadful and were never likely to pick up enough points to survive. We have far too much quality now to be pushing down with them, even with this manager in charge.

So whilst the latter group don’t appreciate this point, for many of us the expectations have changed, and therefore what is acceptable has changed, and us being clear of the relegation positions doesn’t really change just how bad this season has been, for a lot of reasons.

For even more context, at this point last season we had one more point (35) and sitting in 9th with a Manager everybody seemed to worship on here. Said Manager then got us 3 wins in the last 14 games, lost 7 making 13 points (that's relegation form over 38 matches)

We now have the worst Manager in the history of the Premier League (allegedly) that appears to be performing exactly the same with an inexperienced squad compared to last season.

Give your heads a wobble - the next 14 games will define FH, not the first 24 - he's doing ok (at the moment!)

*Waits for all the posts harking back to Hereford and pointing out we're mid-table in the prem as if that's the only point of reference we're allowed to use*

I'm NOT 'Fab Out', but I am most definitely 'Fab has got a lot of work to do to prove he's not out of his depth'. It does seem we've gone backwards which is disappointing. Maybe there are things going on behind the scenes we don't know about. Let's see how the next few months pan out, at the moment I certainly don't want to see a change before the end of the season.

Ah the splinter group, like the People's Front of Judea
