1. This was Oscar Garcia's first season in charge of an English football team and he managed to steer us into the play-offs. Imagine what he can do next season with a full pre season to shape and strengthen the squad with HIS players.

2. The injuries received this season to key players were nothing short of horrendous. Our most expensive signing in history was out virtually all season whilst our best midfielder and striker also had lengthy spells out. Arguably you could say we over achieved in managing to still make the play offs.

3. We have a plethora of young talent bursting through into the first team. Ince has the potential to be our greatest ever midfielder whilst all 3 of March, Dunk and JFC show promise.

4. We have the most loyal fan base outside of the Premier League and comfortably the highest average attendance in the championship. Season ticket sales volumes are in the top 10 in the COUNTRY.

5. It is clear to see already from the relegated sides in the Prem that the championship next season may be slightly weaker than this season and will be wide open. We will be right up there vying for automatic promotion.

I for one am incredibly proud of our football clubs efforts this season and CANNOT WAIT for championship season 14/15 to begin. With a bit of better luck on the injury front and with some astute signings pre-season it could be a special one for us.

Ps: Forgot to add Walton to the list of young talent. I have heard that he has the potential to be an exceptional keeper.

Nah. You need to join in the panic stricken majority on here.

We are rubbish, utter shit complete garbage, utter tripe, total disasters, losers, wastrels, etc etc etc.

So glad I got that off my chest.

You could counter argue all these points. A plethora of young talent?

March and JFC, would be good for league 1 and lower championship, not a club fighting for promotion

Well Oscar just said in his interview that it's down to the club to bring in new players...

I would imagine by that he meant back him with the money to do it

Nobody wants perspective. This is Brighton. We deserve to walk the league.
Anything iess is failure.

(Remind me next time someone's banging on about how obnoxious Scousers or ManU fans are...)

March is far better than league 1. His potential is massive.

Couldnt agree more.. Some smart offloading and smart buying will see us alright. However if its tits up by next Easter then Oz should walk..

he has no end product, apart from the assist against Yeovil and the goal against Norwich, at least 90% of the time its a poor shot or cross

By 'Lets take stock and put things into perspective' don't you mean 'Lets fall in line with my personal opinion'. Most of your points are more than a tad happy-clappy. For that reason, I'm out. :wave:

You're absolutely right. I can't imagine why all those professional coaches and players that we have can't see it and keep on describing them as excellent prospects :facepalm:

Hopefully Oscar will build his team this summer.

I think March, Dunk, Ince will all continue to improve.

JFC may need to go down a division to get his confidence.

I suspect PIG will go - not too worried about that.

Sadly Calderon's best days may be behind him but I think that's obvious.

I hope Ward stays.

It may be time to let KLL go if a bid comes in as his resentment at being used as an impact sub will probably grow.

I think we'll be a decent side again next year. The championship will probably be a bit stronger though next year as the PL relegated teams will be stronger than the ones that came down last year.

Not at all. 90% of that is fact.

Agree with all of that but personally think the teams relegated this season are weaker than last season.
