You just know that something unexpected is going to happen that puts it all at risk, it's just the Brighton way.

Actually, I can't see us not making it now. Not complacency, buy I do think the overall balance and depth of the squad is better now. And, defensively, we are so strong now. Just 14 conceded, 15 for Derby and 18 for Newcastle.
Yes. Wigan 1999-2000, Division 2.
28/12/99: Played 23 W14 D9 L0 F45 A19 GD+26 Points 51 Position: 1st
Final table: Played 46 W22 D17 L7 F72 A38 GD+34 Points 83 Position: 4th
Gillingham, who had 42 points after 23 games finished above them in 3rd on 85 points and went up via the play-offs.
Yes, pretty rotten for Wigan Athletic as they were leading with little time remaining. It wasn't brought about by a change of manager either.
This is the only thing that will stop us. No injuries, no bookings yesterday. And as someone else said, we will shortly have the full squad available. Just an alternate to Baldock needed now, as cover. UTA!Is the difference between success & failure as basic as keeping your best players on the pitch or is there more to it than tgat

Anyone know the story of what was it that substantially changed for Wigan that year...? Surely can't have been just natural variance in results and essentially their "luck"..??
I suppose one feasible option is that their mentality changed in some way? Became less hungry or too expansive?
More likely a few important injuries and suspensions derailed them at some point and they couldn't get their earlier season form back in time. Confident that won't happen to our squad under Hughton.

Wigan do wear blue and white striped shirts though.Still not the championship.
Wasn't our final points total last season enough to guarantee promotion in every one of the previous 18 seasons?
Ultimately stats don't really mean a lot. It's quality and also a little bit of rub of the green that really counts.
