[Football] We are no better than last season at this point FACT

Anya1000 · Nov 30, 2019

The numbers don't lie, how we have offered Potter a 6 year contract is beyond me. Shocking!

Brighton (NO CHANGE)

Last season: 12th, This season: 12th

Even with a change in management, Brighton are a model of consistency in the top flight that many of their rivals could learn from.

Mirroring their points total and position from 12 months ago, Graham Potter - who signed a new deal until 2025 on Tuesday - has built on the foundations laid by his predecessor Chris Hughton and the Seagulls have taken flight.

If we are splitting hairs, the key difference between then and now is that Potter's Brighton have scored one more goal (15) than the side that took to the field 12 months ago.

With trips to Liverpool and Arsenal to come, though, things could soon slip. If they are to keep pace with 2018-19, Potter's players need maximum returns from Anfield and the Emirates Stadium.

No pressure, then.

May be true but it's been a lot more entertaining

Icy Gull · Nov 30, 2019

Try watching a game and tell me that we are no better. It’s an entertainment business and we are entertaining most fans again.

You are one of a few CH diehards with an agenda, let it go ffs or at least accept that there was a case for CH being sacked, even if you didn’t agree with it.

Spence has a new NSC account

It's very convenient at this point to compare the tables if you're anti-GP because we had a decent start to the season last year, albeit playing pretty dire football (still think back to those 3 1-0 wins on the trot and how fortunate we were in all 3).

Before we compare, let's wait until the second half of the season when the wheels fell off and then some last year...

BBassic · Nov 30, 2019

Were your other 63 posts as shit as that one?

GT49er · Nov 30, 2019

Corrected for you. Sorry if it doesn't shout doom and gloom.

Blue Valkyrie · Nov 30, 2019

We were fine last season on St Patrick's Day with home points fests against Southampton, Bournemouth, Cardiff and Newcastle still to come.

We got 1 point from those 4 games. Dire. Sackable.

Jim D · Nov 30, 2019

Perhaps you should have waited a week - then you could have pointed out that we are worse than last year (unless we win our next two games).

Tom Hark Preston Park · Nov 30, 2019

The numbers don't lie, but neither does the evidence of our own eyes. There's no comparison between the dour negative anti-football of last season and the refreshingly positive approach to games this season. Might not yet be fully reflected in the results, but at least we're being entertained along the way. Long may it continue. And while the manager's 6 year contract is highly unlikely to run its course for one reason or another, makes sense to protect your assets from poaching as much as possible while things are going well, other chairmen are trigger-happy and there's major international tournaments looming. Shrewd move.

Just checked, and yes!

Palace, without a doubt - or just stupid....

Baldseagull · Nov 30, 2019

Discounting Villa away and Norwich at home, we have two more points than last season from the corresponding fixtures.

Seasider78 · Nov 30, 2019

We were all feeling pretty comfortable at this point last season despite some less than deserved results before it all went seriously downhill in the second half of the season.

So as a comparison it highlights how well Potter has done in what is his first 6 months as a premier league manager and let’s not forget with a team playing a completely different style and approach than they have under 4 years of Hughton.

Am 100% confident we will out score last seasons points tally which let’s be honest is the only thing that matters

BNthree · Nov 30, 2019

Whilst I don't know the numbers a good measure would be comparing our xg stats from this season and last season. A good way of showing if we are making more quality shots than before.

southstandandy · Nov 30, 2019

And we've also scored 1 more goal too. Definite improvement so far for me.

Eeyore · Nov 30, 2019

64 posts over a few months and nearly all complaining about CH sacking.

We know you aren't happy about it. We know you still aren't now.

Maybe let it go now ? You can discuss other things in here. There's much to have a good old whinge about.

father_and_son · Nov 30, 2019

You and your sh1tty newspaper can f*ck off and when you get there, f*ck off a little further. Clearly no idea about football.

Mackenzie · Nov 30, 2019

The football is better no doubt, in terms of passing particularly, and Tottenham should keep us all warm just thinking about it.

But have we created lots more chances in corresponding fixtures? I’m not sure we have in a number of cases. Last week was very poor, but to be fair Leicester were exceptional.

The defending.............. at times is awful.

But yes, based on those last three months a massive improvement, and I’ll take youngsters over expensive flops every day.
