    Following Albion’s FA Cup fifth-round victory over Frank Lampard’s Derby County, the big news heading into the midweek fixture away at Leicester was the rapid appointment of Brendan Rodgers as the new Foxes boss, after “parting company” with Claude Puel on Sunday. Couldn’t even afford us a few more days of turmoil, could you Leicester? Not to mention affording Palace a 1-4 away victory in Puel’s final game in charge. An interesting appointment nonetheless, with some Celtic fans understandably frustrated at his sudden departure.

    So – back to the Amex for a fourth straight Saturday, for a fifth round FA Cup clash with Championship Derby County. Team news is in, amid talk of illness and knocks in the camp. Glenn Murray is the one indispensable right now, given the lack of suitable back up, so he gets to rest a tight calf. Dunk too gets to rest an apparent niggle.

    The starting XI still looks pretty strong, though there is very little strength on the bench, particular in attacking positions – Florin Andone’s stupid red card coming home to roost. Davy Pröpper is down to start, but     ...

    Back in December when the Premier League’s TV dates were confirmed, a few Albion fans (including myself) scoffed at the inclusion of Burnley at home. Following the two enthralling encounters of last season, both ending 0-0, it seemed odd that anyone would want to pay actual money to televise the fixture. More pertinently, it didn’t seem relevant - after amassing an impressive points tally as Christmas approached, many of the BHAFC faithful were looking up the table rather than down.

    But this, of course, is the Albion we’re talking about. And where the Albion are concerned, nothing is ever straightforward.

    A murmur of anxiety amongst the fan base coming into the game, following a worrying second half collapse away at strugglers     ...

    The Seagulls may only be in their second season in the Premier League, but 18 months is a long time in football.

    Despite many predicting Albion to struggle this season, the club has managed to establish itself in mid-table of the Premier League, making it a good time to jump on the latest betting sites and back the Seagulls for a third straight outing in the top flight next campaign.

    If the Premier League season so far is anything to go by, Albion seem to be charting a course for survival once again and achieving the club's primary aim of securing another season of stability in England’s top flight. However, there’s a long, long way to go and in a season full of ups and downs, there is always an opportunity for the positive showing to date coming undone.

    Oh. My. Days.

    What a night. What a fantastic, crazy, epic night.

    Wandering up to ground in the freezing rain – tense. Nervous. Excited. Huge, huge game. A win would be massive, the unthinkable crushing. Team news in – couple of changes – Montoya in for the injured Capitan, and super Glenn restored in place of Saturday’s match-winner Florin Andone.

    Maty Ryan became the first Albion player to be named PFA Premier League Player of the Month for his exploits in the Seagulls’ goal during October. The Australian keeper edged out such luminaries as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Anthony Martial and Fernandinho to scoop the coveted accolade. It came after he kept clean sheets in all three games as Chris Hughton's side took a maximum nine points during the month and soared up the table. It is now imperative that the club pulls out all the stops to keep this prized asset out of the claws ...

    The second consecutive Premier League season for Brighton & Hove Albion was always likely to be a stern test, particularly with such a difficult run of fixtures to commence the campaign.

    A ridiculously busy spell at work, has meant I’ve neglected this responsibility for a good while. In home games since I last found the time to pen anything (United), the Albion have drawn with Fulham (game turned on a missed penalty, great comeback, but ultimately two points dropped), lost to Spurs (showed a good side too much respect, but could have nicked an unlikely point), and beaten West Ham (solid defensive display, Murray clinical).

    Coupled with a huge away win at Newcastle last time out, a pretty healthy     ...
