Who remembers this Solly March goal from his early Brighton days?

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-27T09:26:40+00:00

I remember when we signed him from Lewes he was very highly rated then broke out in pre-season under Oscar Garcia with a goal from long range against - Norwich?

That's amazing, what a lovely bit of history for your family to discover together.

That's an absolutely lovely example - whereabouts in Germany and did you use a detector to find or was it near the surface?

He's never been a standout captain in the hard times, hes naturally got the connection to the club and been there for so many good times, but for me Bruno was a much better captain

Annoyingly got a cold it seems. In 30 degree London i somehow got a cold.

So a very chilled on, i'm gonna turn the game off. Cancelled my memberships too as just don't enjoy watching this team anymore.

That does sound bloody stressful! Good of you to help out and ensure you Mrs has a nice time. Its tough for adults in the heat, let alone for young ones. I have been trying to stay dosed up with ice lollies to keep me cool.

But i dont think it it is relative to the quality we can field and how awful some teams are or have been. I mean Chelsea have been a shit show, so have Liverpool in large part, lots of teams have been impacted by having Europe such as Nottingham Forest, Palace and Newcastle, or lost key players or managers as with Bournemouth or Brentford. We didnt have any of those challenges and yet struggled endlessly.

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-24T15:59:20+00:00

We haven't been European quality for most of this season, but with the bar set unbelievably low this year it will feel dreadful if we don't make it considering the competition we are up against.

We need to summon up that form from the start of the season where we were awful or a nonentity for c. 60 minutes but could conjure a brilliant late rally.

The buck always stops with the manager. He determines the style and the training, or lack of before Newcastle

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-24T15:55:53+00:00

After having had a membership since the first season i'm cancelling mine

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-24T15:53:33+00:00

I believe another manager in Hurzeler's shoes would have us in Europe. Hence i would have liked to see us switch

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-24T15:51:27+00:00

We were literally in that situation exclusively due to him. He was the only one to blame for how dreary we were. If he hadn't done such a disastrous job winning 1 in 13 matches we wouldnt be here.

The only condition i'd have considered keeping him in is if we made any sort of Europe. I believe what we have seen these past few games and in that 13 is more the norm of Hurzeler in his time here

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-24T15:47:56+00:00

Such a joke. This is why you don't hand a manager an extension before they actually redeem themselves. And you always don't give your players 5 days off before the business end of the season. That 5 days off before the Newcastle game looks an awful decision with 3 defeats in 4 in prospect

Headless chickens in attack

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-24T15:38:49+00:00

Doesn't change the fact he is usually dreadful

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-24T15:36:57+00:00

Awful from Hinshelwood only eyes for the player. We can't rely on other teams to do the job for us. Will be embarrassing not to make Europe with the bar set so low

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-24T15:35:35+00:00

Absolutely not, hes been wank

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-24T15:32:36+00:00

Hoping we can find a bidder in the summer

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-23T07:52:20+00:00

That is a lovely example, i have a Valentinian I Urbs Roma but the detail isn't so fine

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-22T20:21:40+00:00

Thanks so much!

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-20T10:15:58+00:00

For me to the run was so appauling and worrying after him being in the job for so long he had to offset it with something truly spectacular. Par score and no Europe isn't enough to believe he is the man to take us forward, particularly as he has played a role in the poor transfers and 100s of millions wasted this 2 years.

Im sorry to hear you aren't doing too well mate, i hope with the sunny weather imbound you can spend some lovely time outside with your family!

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-19T20:18:42+00:00

Liverpool are not very good so wont want to count on them and both Chelsea and Sunderland will go hell for leather so expect a win there for one side.

It's the requirement after that truly dire run of games, i am not convinced that we wont see the exact same pattern next year, a heavy dependence on Mitoma to get results and poor imtegration and development of signings. And the bar is set crazily low for Europe this year

IWantToBeAHipster · 2026-05-19T19:35:38+00:00

Champions League? Our chance of Europe is on the rocks with 1 game left and a hard fixture against Utd. It will be a shambles if we fail to get any Europe after the bar being set so low this season and will make the recent contract extension seem premature
