I will never be that excited about watching us play Burnley. I have been encouraged by the battling nature of our three recent victories though, so we should be set up well against them. Put me down as an 8.5 the nerves are shaving a couple of points from my excitement meter

Can’t make Saturday so sold on the exchange (before it was removed) was initially a shrug as it’s Burnley and still hurting from the 0-3 last time out but after attending Wednesdays game am now gutted I’m not going so an 8 at least

Win vs Burnley and Marseille with an RDZ contract extension before Xmas I’ll need to have a lie down

Currently on the tail end of a nasty cold, if the weather forecasters get it wrong and it is still raining when I set off I might sack it off.

Son is in the middle of the cold so he probably won’t come.

Smashing Burnley should cheer me right up so v excited.

8 - Excited to go as I didn't attend on Wednesday, although my experience of games against Burnley is not one I have fond memories for, they're either overly physical or plain dull... and well, it's Burnley in December. It's a very 'meh' fixture for me.

8 for similar reasons though I did go on Wednesday. I just can't get *that* excited for a football match involving Burnley.

A 9 and looking forward to Burnley, Marseille and Arsenal. We do now actually have a very good squad with strength in depth. Just need to hope for no more injuries.
By mid Jan it could just be March out. That would give us a great chance of an exciting second half of the season.

I’m very excited. I missed Luton so this is my first Saturday 3pm Amex game this season. Burnley play good football these days so I think they’ll come and have a go which will hopefully suit us.

Faith has been restored a bit by RDZ allowing players to ping a ball out of defence occasionally when the opponents press in high numbers and overwhelm us. We have been caught out a few times overplaying but I suspect he had a light bulb moment. I have no problem with his tactics, although this type of play is obviously being mitigated against by other coaches, provided there is always an outlet for his players. Being the unfort player losing possession can be demoralising for individuals.

9 would be a 10 if it wasn't Burnley which always leaves me fearing impending disaster. That said, hopefully Kompany ball will be nicer to watch than traditional Burnley ball and will help us to a storming victory

Looking forward to it, probably about a seven. It is not beacuse of the team that I have not given a ten, it is because Wednesday was such a shitty journey to the match I have not recovered from it enough to want to do it again.

Saying that I am buzzing for next Thursday, my daughter is back from Uni and has managed to grab a ticket in WSU, we wil not be sitting next to each other, but we can go to the game together and be in the same concourse. It's her first European match, there is something so cool about the fact the first home game I took her too was Millwall, sitting in the family stand at Withdean and now we are going to watch Brighton in a Europa League game together.

Nervous about tomorrow, whenever the expectation and anticipation is high on here we never seem to perform. I think nerves are healthy - we aren’t good enough to turn up and expect to win.

An excited but steady-handed 8.
Yes, my thoughts entirely. We should win, but will we approach the game in the right manner? It won't be the first time . . . . .

After totally demoralising the mighty Brentford on Wednesday night, I thought this is the push we need to move on and dominate the PL and qualify for next seasons CL.

It's now Fridat and I forgot we're playing that neanderthal northern club, Burnley on Saturday.

I feel like I am perpetually expecting the worst. It's a home game we should, on paper, win with ease, while there's a lot of positivity in the fan base. It's got a loss all over it. My mojo is constantly dipping as games approach.

6 because I won’t be there.

Marseilles on Thursday though? Roughly 300.

Where's your Albion excitement level right now?
Generally? Strangely enough, better than it has been for weeks. We made it through Group. Our injury list is going down, finally. Baleba, Hinshelwood and Igor give me good cause for optimism that we have continuity in talent. RDZ has shown levels of intelligence and flexibility in his set ups to cope with all our injuries that has been top class. Not so excited about Burnley (weare Brighton after all) but I’m getting incredibly exited to savour the atmosphere on Thursday - as we can’t lose but will gain even more with a win.

The only real blot on the season for me is Solly.

Forgot to add a mojo score! - and that Thursday will be the first time I’ve managed to get to a match since AEK at home, so super-stoked about that - a 9 for me (would be higher if I could get to the Amex tomorrow)

I'm enjoying every minute 11 out of 10. I just feel though that this surely can't go on
for much longer? Part of this is because I have a Stoke City friend who were in Europe
a while back and sitting pretty and look at them now. Someone please tell me I'm talking
bo***x.

With nice weather, and the likelihood of a lovely day as well as a cracking bit of revenge, and a climb up the table, I'm on a tumescent 8.
Nice weather? Not unless you have a penchant for a nice bit of wind!

I am also an 8. A 3pm Saturday kick off is a rare beast and thus should be celebrated!

If Julio Enciso, comes back soon, and recaptures his form quickly, that will change my score.

His childish enthusiasm alone, is worth another HALF POINT.
