Good start for the Seagulls! 
I can't wait to see my first game at the Amex next sat against Blackpool.
Southampton too doing well, Portsmouth not so
Leicester should do well, West Ham's season could be "interesting" I think.... There's a lot of expectation surrounding them.

After today's game, just checked who Cardiff have next and it's Brighton at home on wednesday night! Should be a cracker with Brighton's good start too!
Wednesday night also sees Blackpool v Derby, so another game where 1 or both teams will drop their first points of the season.Our game today could quite easily have finished 5-5 with goal line clearance, wood work hit, 1-on-1's and that was just the first half! We took the lead just before half-time and scored the second just after the restart. We were pretty comfortably then, with Peterborough not really troubling us infront of goal, then with 9 mins left Cathcart decides to pass the ball across the eighteen yard box and their player intercepts the ball and scores. Then it's back to the wall for the remainder of the game.
We probably had the oldest strike force playing this weekend with Kevin Phillips and Brett Ormerod, but you wouldn't know that Phillips was 38 watching him play.
It was a given that Kevin Phillips would get goals for whoever he joined in the Championship. He's just a quality player and even at his age he's still got more than enough to challenge defences. Definitely think Blackpool will be one of the teams challenging but we all know this league is a marathon not a sprint!

Isnt that standard Blackpool though Russ? Our game today could quite easily have finished 5-5 with goal line clearance, wood work hit, 1-on-1's and that was just the first half!

Didn't they start like this last season as well?
Looking forward to Saturday DS?
We haven't won at the City ground in the league since the Romans invaded.
They always seems to start well yes, Unlike us. I don't think we have ever got more than 2 points in august in our history Looking forward to Saturday DS?
We haven't won at the City ground in the league since the Romans invaded.Saturday, In a word, no. We haven't had time to gel, our defense is woeful and we have no end product. Hopefully that will change with our new signings this week. (If Sven doesn't get them

You making the trip?
I shall be there, (shall do around 21 aways this season) we sold out our allocation quite quickly as well, unlike last season but it was a Sky match on Good Friday. )You making the trip?
I don't like these matches early on, like away to Cov although we won i'd sooner have 6 or 7 games before they came up. You could see on Saturday the players were nervous still and not all on the same wavelength.
Still something at the top will give in this weeks matches as a few play each other midweek and on Saturday as well.

Cracking result last night for Brighton against Cardiff. That's three games on the trot. Not bad going for the new boys in the division.
At home to Blackpool on Saturday. Should be good.
Yup, an I shall be there! First game for me at the new stadium. Sold out within a day of going on sale.At home to Blackpool on Saturday. Should be good.
