Would you accept 6th position at the end of the season?

[HastingsSeagull]

ANY team in this division before Xmas (without a 20+ point difference at top which will never happen) should take that as the league is so close. If Liverpool were in this division with all their current players except Gerrard and Suarez....... they should take that option!

Boring answer as obviously want to play the games but with sensible head on I stand by that statement

 

[Icy Gull]

Nope I don't want to know how the season is gonna pan out before we've finished it, as I want to live it, highs and lows always expecting more highs.

How dull to know we had 6th wrapped up with months of the season to go. It's the same when I know the result of a rugby match or Grand Prix, I lose interest in watching a recording. Never been in a situation where I didn't know a Brighton score before I watched a recording though.

 

[brightonmark1234]

i feel we will finish just outside the top 6 but i hope i am wrong

 

[Icy Gull]

not tongue in cheek, down right sarcasm, I think the highest gate was the 'love in' V Doncaster, I think it was about 6000

We struggled to break 2,500 most games including the opposition didn't we?

 

[wardy wonder land]

Wouldn't be much of a roller coaster if you knew the end position now!

I'm pretty sure most roller-costers end up at exactly the same place they start - to allow the riders off & the next lot on

unless it is just a badly build mono-rail

 

[Steve Foster]

A big, yes.

 

[Seasidesage]

6th was my prediction at the start of the season, so happy enough with that.

Think that even if we suddenly found a goalscorer that a auto position might be beyond us...

 

[kevtherev]

Yes...with Palace fourth or fifth and s play off final against them at Wembley..It could happen.

 

[brighton_tom]

yes.

6th would show improvement on last season, and we'd have a realistic chance in the play-offs...

but with a signing or 2 in january who knows what is possible.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Nope we can win this league

 

[brakespear]

absolutely.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Much as it pains me to say it in an extremely even division you'd have to take it, especially with a clear lack of forward partner for CMS and Vicente unlikely to play again for us this decade.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I'd be absolutely delighted with 6th. Would be a real achievement by Poyet.

 

[Medwayseagull]

The end result is nothing without the journey.

It is if you are stuck in a traffic jam on the M25 !

 

[jimhigham]

dont give a flying fcuk about what palace do and the constant need to relate everything to them is tiresome tbh. 6th place? Certainly accept that as an improvement on last season and a platform for next.

Very wise words right there. This is a fiercely competitive division and nobody said it was going to be easy to get out of. Progress is all I want to see right now, which means placing above 10th this season. 6th would do the trick very nicely.

Over the moon with play-offs

SportingIndex, who are more accurate at predicting long term finishing positions than traditional bookmakers imo, have Brighton finishing 7th this season :/

Sell Hull looks like the one to be on.

 

[Frutos]

It's a yes from me.

 

[The Camel]

Sell Hull looks like the one to be on.

I think selling Palace and Middlesboro are the two best bets.

Small buy of Burnley too maybe. Although if they sell Charlie Austin in January that will look like a very bad bet.
