Saint_clark Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 Noone hasn't played that much and is often used a sub. It is the way the whole team is playing (from goalkeeper to attack) that puts them firmly on top of the league. Not at all down to individual players. Evidently proved when Lua Lua left. Lua Lua is technically still there, he is just recovering from an injury using Newcastles facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 1 November, 2011 Share Posted 1 November, 2011 I know resurrection threads tend to descend into point scoring, but I found this one interesting in showing how far NA has come with us. Eight months ago I'd probably have agreed with the majority of posters on the first few pages of this thread stating that Poyet was the better manager... Not now!

farawaysaint Posted 1 November, 2011 Share Posted 1 November, 2011 Gus is a good manager, he doesn't have anything to prove having got brighton promoted in his first full season as champions. In answer to the thread though, the difference... At the moment a number of points and 16? (haven't checked the live table yet) positions lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 1 November, 2011 Share Posted 1 November, 2011 TBF I wouldn't want to laugh at their winless streak too much, because it shows how easy it is to get stuck in a rut in this league. They were on fire at the start of the season like us. Also we have them next up at home....and I bloody well hope they break their winless run before that game!!!

He has proven that he can get a side out of L1, but the NPC is a different story. He has to prove he can cut it at a higher level. If he can, he'll have to prove he can cut it at a higher level again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just at a personal level though, Brighton don't have anything to prove really, they are at the level that they belong at, perhaps they need to prove that they are solid players at this level, and in all honesty, if teams such as Stoke, Wigan, Swansea etc can get into the PL then so COULD Brighton, but nobody expects it, thats the difference.

mitch01 Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 Particularly enjoyable that we are being recognised as a great passing side now, after he claimed we were just Dagenham with Rickie.

1976_Child Posted 3 November, 2011 Share Posted 3 November, 2011 Brighton are 13 points behind us. That is all the difference there is at the moment. And of course they like holding hands. And they have a waaay too expensive but tiny capacity stadium with sh1te transport links. And they are just a flash in the pan. Back down in division three before long.

pap Posted 3 November, 2011 Share Posted 3 November, 2011 That thread over on North Stand Chat is very good, half full of people saying that they have 100% ( or even more ) ability in Gus' ability to put it right, many others saying that the man had no plan B. Another difference between Brighton and Southampton is that we'll still have the same manager in Feb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 3 November, 2011 Share Posted 3 November, 2011 It appears to me that the difference between Brighton and Saints is that we have virtually the same team as last year, Hoiveldt was necessary to replace Jaidi and Seaborne and fitted in, Fox was made to wait for his chance and bedded in well, Cork fitted in immediately. The rotation of players with the odd injury plus the outstanding form of Chaplow has given us a team that is better than the sum of the parts. On the other hand Brighton made a number of signings and it looks as though the tight bond they had last year has suffered so the team is not better than the sum of it's parts which is essential to do really well.

Dr Who? Posted 3 November, 2011 Share Posted 3 November, 2011 We did have a poor start to the season, and we maybe up with them since the first 10 games, but Brighton are smashing everyone at the moment and looking very comfortable and I cannot see them slipping up. Still think 2nd is ours for the taken and do think on this ocassion we will take it with both hands on the run in. The big turning point will be us winning at Dean Court! IMO. I like this lol.

The9 Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 The funniest thing about this thread is that at the time they were a better team. Yet I am being criticised because they're not now. Actually, on 22/02/11 having played 28 games they were 10 points ahead of us in League One. After 9 games of the same season they were 11 points ahead of us, so we'd already closed the gap on them. By the end of the season we'd beaten them at their place and were only 3 points behind at the end, so we were clearly already performing better than they were by then, which we continued by leaving them well behind in the Championship (Lambert sending off at their place aside). Maybe I'd have given it to you if you'd posted it at the end of September 2010, but by February 2011, no, the results clearly point to us being slightly the better side from September 2010 until Feb 2011 (and significantly better since).

At the time though, as you've alluded to, they were 10 points ahead of us. That means that since the beginning of the season they had 10 more points than we did, ergo, they were a better team. Even catching up 1 point since game 9 means very little, especially as I seem to remember Lua Lua, who was their best and most dangerous player that season, being out for the best part of the 10 weeks between those times.
