Not a criticism of CH in the slightest, who in 16 months has been immense. But it's in the DNA of some other clubs to get over the line. Even before the awful bad luck tonight, the lack of focus cracks were appearing - Dunk's stupidity at a crucial stage of the season, allowing Derby to boss...

A focused Wednesday, who knew we never beat them and rarely score against them Against a team that's clearly demoralised by the 89 points disappointment, who have dipped starting with modest Derby (Will Hughes & co, yet again) passing and bossing off the park.

As a successful manager once said "First is everything, second is nowhere". Karanka and Carvalhal and their players appear to be focused on the prize, not Corinthian pride.

Bookies odds make SWFC 5x more likely than us to go up. But what do they know?

Under Nigel Pearson they should take 6 points from us. The ranks of overpaid and under performing players there will be booted out one way or another.

That's the problem with some loaners, not bothered. Next Tuesday he will fly to Dubai or Vegas with his Manure mates, before training under Mourinho come July. No bond with the Albion. He'll want to avoid injury at this stage of the season.

:thumbsup: It was THE chance. Parachute money for PL clubs from now set at £50m per season, for two seasons. Added to their normal income, they will three of four times ours for squad building.

But it's true. 1,500 Derby fans outsung Brighton at the Amex, long before they went one nil up, and with nothing to play for. Laughing with songs that Brighton's staying down. Prophetic.

You won't be the only one on the night, but few will admit it on NSC.

Sky love their 'traditional' clubs such as M'boro and SWFC. Brighton's just that nice family club in a non-sporting part of the world, and playoff SF chokers.

Spot on. Not only that, do we ever beat the likes of Derby, Wednesday and Burnley? They always to use a power game to confidently get results against lightweight Albion teams.

Norwich will be minted too. Their annual income will be £50m more than ours at £75m, and can recruit well to add to their PL squad this summer.

Northerners will always be more passionate and noisy following their club, along with the odd working class other such as West Ham. Means everything to them. In addition, at the Amex the noisy support is spread out with a relatively tiny north stand, unlike the vast kops at the likes of Wednesday.

Another sending off?

Exactly. And a couple of weeks studying videos of how to out power little Brighton, whilst the Albion put all the planning effort into winning at Middlesborough.

But is that caused tonight by 10 against 11?

Would those who's splashed out on a ticket not turn up?

Only the manager, players (what's left of them) and some luck for once can send Brighton up. Some fans gutted on NSC will have zero effect on our prospects.

Sssshhh about the chokers.

A lot of bad luck too. 89 points in any other season gave auto promotion. Stephens disgraceful sending off by a homer ref and the icing on the cake tonight's injury decimation. Waddle on BBC can't remember this ever happening before.
