Too much loving for Brighton in this thread!!!!
After the last couple of years we have had will settle for mid table obscurity.
Tough start with only 1 of last seasons back 4 available for the first month!

I'm off to watch Barnsley at Forest today.
As usual we're favourites for relegation but I think we'll be clear of it this season. Hill and Flitcroft as a management team have created a huge feelgood factor in a short space of time and our team of no-names looks to have gelled nicely as a unit.
We'll have our usual ups and downs but I think we'll be comfortably mid-table and may cause a few surprises.
Not sure what to expect today - trying not to get carried away by impressive, but ultimately meaningless, pre-season performances. I just hope that Dutch Boy McLaren is talking about points dropped in his weird accent at the end of the day.

If you have changed from a palace fan to supporting that lot I would at least expect you to keep quiet about it! |

Good point today against a disappointing Forest side.
First chance to see all our new signings and was impressed on the whole. Perkins looks lively, Wiseman and Edwards solid at the back, Davies showed flashes up front and will improve. Particularly impressed with Miles Addison, who looks clumsy (a la Carlton Palmer) but did a solid job in the heart of midfield.
Happy enough with that as a start.

Really good win today for us, lots of Midlands local derbies in this league and we'll tend to take points off each other so this is a good start
Not sure I quite believe the hype yet, but certainly the team looks strong on paper and there is a lot of money to keep throwing at it until sept and in Jan
We've had a £7m bid for Shane Long in for example which meets Readings valuation but they'd like to sell him into the Prem rather than to a rival.

I'm not a great fan of playing competitive football so early in August. Glad to see today Steve McClaren agrees with me |
