Huddersfield have 8 games in April. Albion and Newcastle have 7. Huddersfield game in hand is Wolves towards the end of April. Don't think any team has ever won 8 matches in one month. I think we hold the record of 7 out of 7. Therefore statistically Huddersfield will drop points. This is the year of the blue and white strips. Brighton Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday!!

Bollocks - As Benjamin Disraeli famous quoted " There are lies, Damn lies and statistics.

In this particular case though I hope you are right !

I think we should be more concerned about Newcastles run in! It is harder than both ours and Huddersfields... I think the Geordies could be the ones to miss out!

So much pressure on them, such high expectation to steam the league

Preston Draw is probably right as Huddersfield are at home, and Preston won the away game.
Fulham have already beaten Huddersfield 5-0 this season. I don't think it will be the same scoreline, but I think it will be hard for Huddersfield to win it.

Derby Huddersfield on the 17th of April looks a bit more of a challenge for our third placed rivals now McClaren has been moved on. Would expect their players to be putting in a renewed amount of effort for the new manager. Will(Hughes) make a nice change for Derby to help us on our way for once, instead of their customary spanner in the works, which we've experienced at the climax to recent seasons.

What I don't really understand is why the bookies are so much more confident than I am. Is this just a reflection of bets that have been placed or am I missing something?

They've come in for a Top 2 finish. Sky Bet had them at 5.0 (4/1 in old money) a week or so ago. Today they are 3.5 (5/2).

They are looking at the statistics in a cold analytical way. You are a Brighton fan worrying constantly, and expecting it to some how go wrong like it always does for us. :shrug:

Very little to do with bets placed.

All to do with the fact that this Brighton squad has averaged around two points per game for more than a year and are thus on target for around 95 points, give or take 2 or 3 points, come the end of this season.

The bookies have us as almost equally likely to win at Leeds as Huddersfield to win at Bristol next weekend. This too is nothing to do with money bet - if anything we should be a bit of value when playing the Champions of Europe.
