When was that?
Late 70's early 80's?
Thirty years ago at least.
So why the high expectations now?
We have almost always hovered around the lower leagues.
Certainly not Premiership material.
Be realistic people.

In terms of league position obviously 1979-83, and the years leading up to that promotion were very good and exciting.

But there is a case for saying the best football ever played at Brighton was that under Poyet. And because that was very recent, this seems even worse.

And I say that as someone who never though the Premier League was in any way guaranteed in the next few years. You get a chance - we blew ours, Hull and Burnley took theirs getting automatic, and Palace took theirs in the play-offs. We were never going to beat Derby. Once your chance has gone, you might not get another one.
