Albion win can be a launchpad (From The Argus)

I think the Launchpad was the game at home to Hull.
When you think that in the last 3 games we have not only beaten the teams sitting 1st and 2nd in the division but have also achieved this with them having the best away and best home records in the championship.
Add to this that we absolutely thumped a team from the premiership last year and who have just knocked Arsenal out of the cup in all but score line and I think all the signs are that we are going in the right direction for the run in.
As Charlie says, it's imperative that we don't undo our own good work in the next 2 home matches against beatable teams. We have a chance to firmly put us ourselves in the play off mix.

Great result last night, roll on Saturday

For those who said we have a bad record against the top 6 clubs, to beat the runaway leaders on their ground is fantastic! Onwards and upwards Seagulls, but also lets keep our feet on the ground. Currently Cardiff, Hull and Watford appear favorites for promotion. To substitute the Seagulls for one of this would be an incredible feat.

Lets see how the injuries pan out. I fancy Vicente playing just behind Ulloa with Barnes in his wide more defensive role.

Not having a go, I am just feeling a bit pedantic this morning.

Lopez and Orlandi does the job ;o)

El Abd in Liam's role is a good shout if GG returns,however,cons idering the result last night I would leave the defence as it is with Calderon as the holding midfielder.Lopez is playing well (another two assists last night) so I can't see GP leaving him out and GP will certainly bring back Barnes if Hammond is unfit.So my team for Sat. is: TK Bruno El-Abd Upson Bridge Lopez Calderon Orlandi Vicente Barnes Ulloa (Barnes to play either left or right sided)

Calde in for Bridcutt, I personally think he's better than Bruno at the back. His distribution is better, he sees and plays to runs made into the channels and he can cross a ball + he marks up well and stays with his man, and he's not exactly shy when it comes to a tackle. I think he's perfect for the temporary midfield role in Bridcutts absence. But I'm no Gus and he's been doing fine without my advice so far so we'll have to wait and see, roll on the weekend.

Good morning Mr Pedantic, we in the West upper A block refer to Lopez as Spanish Dave! Orlandi is....Orlandi. Anyway i hope the atmosphere on Sat is as good as last season against Burnley but lets keep all 11 on the pitch.

Keeping 11 on the pitch would my fear with El Abdo in the Bridders role! Like the idea of trying El David there. He can tackle and pass. Also there is the ever dependable Calde or Dicko. Have a feeling missing both Bridders and Hammo could be an opportunity to try something that may enhance our free flowing turn of defence into attack. Really liked the way David did this last night for the second goal following his interception, sure other players may have walked it into the corner flag or passed it backwards.

Why would you change a side that has just beaten the league leaders on their own tump?? Change only to support suspension and/or injury, otherwise leave it as it is. I cant believe some of you lot, we have suddenly got the right mix after all the chopping and changing, taken vital points off top teams and you want to change it some more.

Sheeeesh!!

Very good points, Downlander. No team is a walkover this season and IMO we should come storming out every game to try and get early goals to put the pressure on teams as soon as possible. Another point I do not think anyone has mentioned--no word from Gus on last nights game, all reports are from Charlie. Anyone know whether Gus was at the game?? or was he on 'other business'?? Good also last night to see two from the Dev Squad as contenders.

I think Brighton did more than just beat Cardiff yesterday, we also showed others how they can beat them too.
There will be managers that go to Cardiff needing points, at the top end and at the bottom end of the table, we gave them a blue print to follow.

When a team sits at the top for so long and with so many points, some teams go there thinking that they are beat before a ball has been kicked, we broke that spell. That win could end up being worth more than 3 points to us.

Murray refusing a contract with us is not news, he wanted a better offer from us.If we had put as much on the table as Palace did, maybe even a little less but closer, he would be here now.
If you really wanted to stop hearing about it, you shouldn't put links up to stories that mention it.

Anyone know the latest on Lewis Dunk?

Seeing that George Barker was on the bench last night, one would assume that LD would also be available for selection. Given that GG wasn't risked for teh match, I'd have thought that Dunky would have been amongst the subs at least - is he carrying a knock too?

He was on £4k, Palace offered him £11k, we offered him £7.5k, he would have stayed for £9k. With his best interest at heart the club told him to take the £11k because even if we did give him £9k, he would have been losing £100k a year.

It was a great deal at the time for him and I hope he plays in the Prem, however hopefully it won't be with Palace.

Fans want a villain or hero but it's a business deal.

He has always played it down when he has scored against us since lol so it wasn't a happy move for him.

There is not one single player that has left Brighton at any time in it's history that should have stayed. Those that left for money, good luck to them. Those that left to play at a higher level, good luck to them. Those that we released and found new clubs, good luck to them. We have signed some that turned out to be among the best, some among the worst and a whole bunch inbetween, all we have asked is that whilst with us they do their best. Freeloader has his views of who should go and why. Hovite has his views and I have mine, a sure sign of a healthy fan base of a club that is growing with every day. When we stop talking about our team will signal the day when the managers have little or no choice in who they sign, a sure sign of a failing club. It's a good time to be a Brighton fan.

I understand your "don't change a winning team" point, Heathgate, but surely we'd like to think Saturday's game at home to Burnley will be a very different game to last night. We want the same result, of course, but we will be dominating possession again rather than playing on the break. Why change the line-up? One word for me....Vicente. Best player in the whole division by a country mile. If he is fit enough to play an hour in a game we will have a lot of the ball, he has to play. He is the one player who can open up a defensively organised team which I would think Burnley will be focussed on being. I really hope Hammond can recover for Saturday. As I've said before, in Bridcutt's position, I think he would impress much more as I think it'll be easier for him to hold his position rather than having to cover lots of ground. Will show us exactly how good Bridcutt is whoever fills in there. Think I'd choose Calderon if Hammond didn't make it. For what its worth, giving me a team of..... Kuszczak Bruno - El Abd - Upson - Bridge Hammond or Calderon Buckley - Lopez - Vicente - Orlandi Ulloa

What about Buckley? I know Vegas thought he had a poor game last night but from what I saw he was a threat on the break and he will come good at some point soon. I think we need to start home games with either him or KLL - gives us width and options going forward.
