    [Albion] Southampton away (has this been mentioned?)

    That's a very odd mistake to make (Pompey), especially at home if your team is losing. Great spot

    [Football] Abdoulie Manneh

    The Mirror has us and several other clubs linked with this young Gambian striker: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfer-news-wolves-brighton-portsmouth-35202033

    [Albion] Andrew Moran

    I still think there's a lot of merit in these loans. JPVH developed so well at Blackburn alongside the likes of Wharton. Ayari similarly absolutely bossed his appearance in their fixture in the cup against Newcastle last season...

    [Albion] Jack Hinshelwood- vital cog in the machine?

    Do we reckon the longer term plan is a back three? It would explain why so many wingers and No10s desired/bought? So something like: Verbruggen Van Hecke, PaceynewCB, Cashin/Igor/Webby Minteh. Ferdi Baleba Hinshelwood...

    [Albion] Player salaries. Any truth in this?

    Wouldn't surprise me at all. An established international, with experience of European competitons but importantly we secured him despite Utd and Liverpool interest. Think he's top ranked Brighton player with Mitoma on the latest iteration of the Fifa computer games (or whatever now called)...

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    Gotta say I think there's a big overreaction about Cashin. I think the club's transfer model often requires them to be adjusted via training/loans for many months before they are ready for playing. It wasn't a good start but I believe in the potential. I think Baleba is one of the best players...

    [Albion] Is our recruitment overrated?

    Am I right in thinking these three are Milner, Welbeck and Adingra?

    [Football] Worst managerial change in history

    Undoubtedly this one. The absolute risk of appointing a yes man following an ownership change and with the club trying to disguise the beginning of a process of asset stripping. They made noises about signing Ronaldinho (considered among the best in the world at the time...

    [Albion] Who's your player of the season (so far)?

    Billy Gilmour for this reason

    [Albion] Fab out?

    I think his strategy was to try to emulate Bournemouth the week prior and avoid Brighton's mistakes against Everton (allowing the block to stifle us). Essentially if you score first Forest might crumble (as they did against Bournemouth) as they are so counter-attacking. It was obviously really...

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    Good luck to Cashin. I think he's going to be just what we need and will show it when he gets his chance. I thought that was a good humble interview. Love that he talks about wanting to improve and kick on. I expect this is a step towards three at the back, which I reckon we'll play for most of...

    [Film] The greatest ever Oscar injustices ?

    I like both films, but can't believe American Beauty took Best Picture over The Matrix (the latter did win some Oscars, but was better than all five nominations in the Best Picture category: Cider House Rules, Green Mile, Sixth Sense and The Insider)

    [Albion] West Ham United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Here's the lineup i'd like see (assuming Ferdi and Welbeck remain injured): Verbruggen Veltman Van Hecke Igor Estupinan Baleba Wieffer Rutter (R) Joao Pedro (L) Enciso Ferguson

    [Albion] Positives from today?

    Small one, but i noticed and appreciated the three Dutch players (Van Hecke, Wieffer and Verbruggen) who took the effort to clap the fans at the end despite a pretty abysmal team performance. I'm fairly shocked that neither Hurzeler nor Dunk seemed bothered to do this irrespective of their (and...

    [Albion] Midfield not clicking

    The thing i was surprised to see recently was Moder making it into the top 10 Premier League in game top speeds recorded: https://www.premierleague.com/news/4138354

    [Albion] Midfield not clicking

    Great, that we now have these options. This'll keep opponents guessing and any/most should continue to improve as they gel and mature. Interesting that for most of last season Brighton played two really slow good passers (Gross and Gilmour). In time i can imagine Hinsh developing his passing...
