It was a very good season, happy and ever distant memories. Second lowest budget, but achieved 15th, deservedly staying up. But has gone awry since, possibly because: a) With more match exposure, after say 16 months in the PL, opposition coaches and their analytics teams have well and truly...

Not blaming PB for our PL recruiting, but the club have said before that recruitment decisions are exclusively discussed and made by the quartet of TB/PB/CH/PW.

Some good analogies and points made by the writer. But we know the standard of our players far better than him. That mid table position was false, we had gained some unlikely wins when completely outplayed, with the chronic lack of pace/creativity/goals finally coming to the fore. We’ve been...

I realise the odds of bouncing straight back are long, the Championship is very competitive. I wouldn’t be hung up on that one jot. I would just hope that we’re competive and have a genuine chance of a win in all 46 games.

Definitely positives. I always feel for the loyal travelling fans, who roll up at Goodison, KingPower, Emirates, Spuds and Stamford Bridge, knowing it’s a near certain defeat, a near certain outclassed and a neat certain zero goals. Is that a meaningful football experience?

Not enough. Relentless losses, no goals, defeats by the basement clubs ... shows we’re a justifiably a poor PL team.

Radio Sussex said just that on Tuesday evening .... behind our false lofty league position at New Year, “we’d been outplayed in so many games. We should’ve invested in quality in January in ACM/up front”. They confidentally stated they’d said just that in Jan.

The telling observation is “the rest of the division has worked us out”. Opposing managers must show recordings of recent defeats of Brighton and Hudd, and in part say replocate what Stains etc did. No pace, loath being high pressed, etc.

The player wages/fees budget strategy, leaves us in a tiny grouping with Hudd, Cardiff and Burnley. With 3 dropping it’s almost inevitable that we’ll drop sooner rather than later. TB took this path. and would’ve planned for either eventuality.
