    Based on what?

    OMT: European Champions v Brighton - Sunday 25 May

    Yeah but we also ride our luck doing the opposite....looks like Ange thinks we ride our luck a bit less parking the bus although youre right, I think we'd have been in trouble had Brighton played more of their first team and had more to play for

    OMT: European Champions v Brighton - Sunday 25 May

    Well it will likely bring more points at least than what we've seen so far under this manager. Probably the route to keep his job really.

    Actually it pretty much is the only panacea. But its about picking the right manager.

    2 wins in 14 matches? Sounds familiar......

    You get CL with the trophy. I mean blimey, the absolute gymnastics people do for this guy - double counting the Europa win....it counts as two achievements now! We don't even need to bother trying for 4th, just win the CL we will be fine! Throw the league again!

    We can't defend, other than by parking the bus against average to poor opposition. I mean are you saying, having watched the last 2 seasons that we are a good defensive team?

    I'm not forgetting that: but we got 5th because he posted over 20 points in his first 10 games. The trend across his first season and this is only going in one direction: First 10 games: W 8 D 2 L 0 Pts 24 First 19 games: W 11 D 3 L 5 Pts 36 Second 19 games: W 9 D 3 L 7 Pts 30 Third 19...

    Sport does include the ability to beat the odds, which is why we all love it. But there are very very few cases of a club arresting a trend of declining PPG over 2 seasons by not changing the coaching staff....

    Injuries are not to do with medical staff. Recovery time/treatment advice yes. Injury prevention is down to coaching/conditioning. It's sports science, not medicine. Ange has lots of injuries and they've been a problem at every club he's been at. He acknowledges that they're a natural...

    He had injuries galore in his first season too.

    Yeah, let's see, but Brighton have not followed the same trajectory as we have under Ange. Brighton have maintained a consistent level of results and performances. We started off like a train, but fell away badly and have kept falling. Our PPG in the first half of last season was much...

    The win rate that counts: Postecoglu has a PL win rate of 41.33 (over 75 games) with the 5th most expensive squad in the division. Hurzler has a PL win rate of 40.5 (over 37 games with a much smaller, less expensive squad. More importantly, Postecoglu has a loss rate of 44.00 over 75 games...

    Fabian Hurzeler would be my preference: - Young (youngest head coach in PL) - Brighton 8th and hard to beat (only 2 teams lost fewer games) - Combines that solidity with expansive attacking play with very similar system to that used by Poch. - Started in the youth academy at Bayern Munich so...

    I'd bring Poch back if I could.

    Yes. I mean, "fluke" is the wrong word, but a poor team and a poorly managed team can win a cup, particularly when they get a good draw. I look at Southgate's England painfully crawling into the European championship final with poor performance after poor performance and then get utterly...

    It's been a disaster of a league season and a brilliant Europa League campaign. The league is the bread and butter though. It's what gives most successful clubs the platform to win silverware. You can fluke yourself to a final. You can't fluke yourself to a decent league position.

    Yeah this "finished 5th so we can finish 5th again" doesn't account for the fact he whacked over 20 points on the board in his first 10 games. That was a huge points total (over half of what we've managed in the entirety of this season). His tactics were new so nobody knew how to counter it...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Certainly has for some. Someone just said that us being in the bottom 3 by January next season was unrealistic. Based on what? Blind faith?

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    You didn't think he'd win it? It's a one off game against a team one place above us in the PL table. It was a 50/50 toss up.
