robin_unreliant Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 We've got two tough games after them and if we are still in the top six at that point I will start to believe we can stay there. Gonna have to get back to our best to do that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Swindon, with the season coming to an end in, what, 2 weeks? They must be in serious danger of going down. If only the season was longer....

OldlandReddies Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 We are in for a cracker under the lights next Saturday. Think we can come out on top again at the fortress and move to within 4 points of the automatic places. Didnt think i would be saying that in November ! COYR's !!

Fiale Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Brighton's first goal - absolute shocker from Norwich, which set the tone for the game http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/10637433/brighton-5-0-norwich#ooid=JjMjc0NzE6fe_FjoDQl7_PwGfmOuUWVl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I see the Brighton game as one of those where a draw would be a point gained. All the more so after today's result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be an open game as they will come and attack us which will leave space and opportunities for us which would make a change from teams coming to cancel us out.

Fiale Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Can we do worse than Norwich - they looked really poor, and their defending, losing the ball, passing looked L2 - they did not turn up today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I think I heard on the radio that they have 10 clean sheets this season. Given that we dont do clean sheets I can only see a Brighton win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Looking back (as I so often do) for inspiration. Christmas 1987, Brighton visited. They were unbeaten for 17 games, but were 3-0 down at half time. They then staged a come back and scored twice, so Jordan came on as substitute. He scored a goal and laid on another for an emphatic 5-2 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coz I live down there and am surrounded by fickle Brighton fans who have only started supporting them because of the new stadium and recent success. They used to get tiny attendances at the Goldstone. Not true fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to get tiny attendances at the Goldstone. Not true fans. Have to disagree, I live down here too and gave to say that Brighton have been very good at attracting new supporters and building their fan base up, obviously their new ground helps, but they have worked hard on bringing kids in, such as offering discounted tickets and coach travel for local kids football teams, well priced season tickets and the like. They are having to compete with London clubs for support, even Charlton were running supporters coaches up from round here. From a football side they are also slowly building their team and I for one have no problem for a team not benefiting from parachute payments getting promoted, if it happens for them this season and indeed us. I suspect that theirs is a model that the Bristol Sport management would have looked at closely when developing Ashton Gate I'm not sure we are playing well enough currently to beat them on Sat, a point would be a good result.

Terrible if the original core of supporters look at the new batch with that sort of disdain. You could only call them fickle if they disappear at the first signs of hardship.
