yeah I don’t think any of us think we’re close to those 2 😂.  We’re poor at home for a start 

Do you see LCFC as your closest rivals?..

There a better version of us, but not by much

There really won't be a huge amount in it come the end of the season in my opinion. Anywhere between 12th and 15th is a decent season for them and represents progression. Player for player, we could perform similarly with better management.

Brighton's left side of Kadioglu and Mitoma is really tidy, rest of them have been so loose though

You’re not getting it. Every team we play is going to batter us until they don’t. Then it falls upon the next team we play to batter us. And on it goes.

It's like an inverse last season where 'we were going to batter someone once we clicked,' and we had more games where we huffed and puffed than slaughtered anyone.

Brighton are one poor summer transfer window away from being bang in trouble.

Spurs look really good to be fair to them

[Corky]

Brighton are going back to their stats are great but not many wins phase, it appears.

That is a good thing, surely?

Absolutely

 

If we can scrape to 17th or better this season then it really wouldn’t surprise me if we managed to sneak into the Europa Conference  the season after.

Actually think Brighton might drop like a stone and could even be in a bit of a relegation battle.

I hope buonanotte has a relegation release clause 😄

Everyone always says this, but even if they did go down, I'd back them to immediately come back up, not be in the shit like we were with FFP, and get back to establishing themselves easily.

Please give yourself a slap round the face... that'll help

[lcfcell]

Did Brighton really spend 40m on Rutter? That seems a very un Brighton like signing. I didn’t rate him that highly in the championship last season

Maddison is one of the only things I don't like about them nowadays

I think there defence is alot stronger other than that I agree

They are better and more organised at the back, definitely. I'd go so far as to say that's the difference between us.

Spare me.

Overall, second biggest/closest after Derby.

 

But South of Trent Bridge and in North Leics (where we have quite good support) it’s more about Leicester.  

 

One of our songs is usefully chronological: “We hate Derby County, we hate Leicester too, we hated Sheffield United but Forest we love you”

 

If we both stay in the Prem for a few years (assuming no Derby there) I can see Leicester becoming the bigger rival again.

Spurs are gonna spurs

Normal order is resumed
