The last two games we have been far from our best imo. But we beat a promotion candidate with a very talented squad and a team at the wrong end of the table fighting hard to get anything out of the game, which is always a banana skin.
Hughton did not sound particularly happy after the game last night and I think there are a couple of key areas we need to work on, but very nice to emerge from these 2 games with 6 points

Domination by any measure.
We do need to be more clinical though.

It has to be unusual that we have won so many matches by the odd goal. Winning is everything but I look forward to a time when we start to batter the opposition.
If we put our best 11 out, then I think we will. Regrettably March, JFC & Ince as reasonable as they are - will not be party to a stonking win if playing for 90 minutes against a Championship side

Your support is not that great
We look good in all areas and dominated the game last night, and in patches played some very convincing football. But there is definitely more to come. This could be one of the great Brighton sides.

Great start and lets be thankful for what we have -it has been so much better than last year, though I am sure that is not necessarily saying a lot. There were some great moments during the match last night, but the doubts do remain if we are just winning games by the odd goal at home. This squad has clear potential, but it must be shown in terms of goal difference to reflect our dominance. To be fair, it is games like this in the past that we would probably only have drawn, and many clear chances were created, but we have to be more clinical at home, because, sure as eggs, with us being at the top, away from home we are the ones that other teams will do their utmost to topple.

Are you a teacher by any chance?
I agree with it all but it is written in the style of a school report.��

Looking forward to a game like the 6 - 1 stuffing of Blackpool of a couple of seasons ago (7 - 0 to the Albion to be precise) and just hope it is a game I get to see.
I am delighted compared to last year. Just pointing out that we haven't been at our best in the past couple of games but we are winning matches which is great to see. But feel as though we can raise our game more and make games more comfortable for ourselves.

Agree with the OP. More to come I think. Rotherham are where they are because they are poor. We dominated but still it so easily could have been a draw at the end. Not saying we were hanging on but the crowd gasped when six minutes of added time was announced. We could have been 3 nil up and everyone would love to see six more minutes but we played with a little bit of anxiety which showed.
If and it's a big if we can erase that anxiety we have the makings of a team challenging for promotion. I still think the attacking options will improve with the addition of Manu who may or may not be a gem, Murphy looks good and Bobby, Tomed, Bulldog, improving with game time, not forgetting the Finn and Real signing.
Happy days, I can only see this squad getting better, it wasn't a fantastic performance last night but a good three points and some nice football was enjoyed.

I'm actually looking forward to games now. Last season and even the season before that wasn't the case.

Two great positives this season
High number of shots
Low ratio Shots:Shots on goal
Last season we had a few games where we mustered 1 or two shots in the whole 90 minutes and had none on goal
Impressive no doubt.
