***Official Match Thread - Brighton vs Millwall - The Den - 3PM****

Great start but we have played our majority of our games so far against struggling teams

But all teams will struggle against us.

Anyone got a video they mind to share? Thanks

Wrong. Sheff wed were in sixth.

If you're in the away end, of course you're only going to hear the Albion. Though I'm surprised our fans thought Millwall were better on the ball than us.


(I am, of course, making fun, I assume you meant you were in the home end).

Doh! having a senior moment there.

Here's a picture of our boys

Yes, but when only seven games played, part of the reason that these teams are in bottom half is they lost to us. You can only beat what is in front of you. It would have been reassuring to have got more than a point against the better two teams though - certainly deserved at least one at Hull.

I've kept my 100% albion away win record when listening to the radio, long may this continue

Wrong. Sheff wed were in sixth.

But they are 20th now, suggesting that they are not going to be a strong side in this division. Delighted with the start but we still have to prove it against the big boys.

Boro, Leicester, Blackpool and Leeds in the space of 2 weeks at the end of Oct/start of Nov will be the real test.

Not long till I get back to Brighton, millwall support was soooo crap, how did we sound in the radio? Brighton played well but we really should of shot more instead of passing round the box, millwall were so much better when they went down to 10 men. Well done from the mighty albion

Does it?
After 6 games last season, Reading were 23rd, finished 1st.
After 6 games last season, Birmingham were 22nd, finished 4th.
After 6 games last season, Derby were 5th, finished 12th.
After 6 games last season, we were 1st, finished 10th.

Does the table at this point really suggest much?

We finished 6th? How did we do in the play offs?

I'm not wikipedia. No one is impressed by you editing what I say.

Good post and to be fair you are obviously quite correct, the table shouldnt mean too much at this stage. Just looking at the teams we have played its only Cardiff and Hull I can imagine challenging and the table seems to already back this up. Like I said though, delighted with our current form and we were brilliant against Wednesday I am just trying not to get carried away!

 

[glasfryn]

just keep picking up points away and strive to win our home games
by all accounts we were rubbish at Watford and still won
thats the trick
only I will have gnawed my fingers down by the end of the season

Wrong. Sheff wed were in sixth.

And Barnsley are in the top half.

You weren't sat near that gobby bird in the white that didn't seem to want to come back for the 2nd half were you?

This. Granted the way we played against Weds was dreamy, they have just been promoted. Millwall aren't the strongest but getting the wheels turning and building up momentum aren't to be dismissed. I'm really looking forward to, like you say, the big boys.
