We are destined for a tough season, no doubt about it. Some of the performances from teams that we might think would be pushovers were awesome at the weekend and I include Brighton in that. Fulham will be a real handful and Bournemouth too, both just up from the Championship. Forest were the only team that looked flaky and if we don't end up above them we'll be in big trouble. Of course, it's all too early to form any real measure, but aside from Forest I think we'll end up higher than Brentford and hope Everton, who I've really taken a strong dislike to after last season, are below us.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

I was at a local match on Saturday and seated near me were a group of three gentleman of a certain vintage who had allegiances towards Brighton. These chaps were discussing our game against Arsenal and not one derided our club or were critical in any shape or form. Had they gallivanted down this path, I would certainly have interjected, tonsils leaving their moorings, coils of smoke rising from my head.They seemed very pleasant human beings. Edited by Willo (08 Aug 2022 10.34am) Human beings is a bit much.

We didn't look great against Arsenal albeit the result could have been different and there wouldn't have been too many complaints.

I would throw west ham and Brighton in there as well. We showed a great deal of promise against the arse. I suppose we will see once we play the teams we should be beating. Far too many draws last season.

Even Tony Cascarino in The Times, not our biggest supporter, thinks we'll finish 9th, mainly because we 'don't give much away at the back'.

daft comment. So we disagree. Fine. I thought this was a forum for the exchange of views without animus (as in 'daft comment'). Thanks for telling us about yourself. Most instructive.

We started last season a bit shakily being well beaten by Chelsea away 0-3, and then being held 0-0 at home to Brentford. We have some tough games coming up but if we can beat Villa and Brentford in the home games then that would provide a springboard for us. If we can't then I would start worrying (unless of course we were to spring surprise wins over Liverpool and Man City!)
