Match Recap: Brighton 0-1 Liverpool
I’d love to start one of these recaps with positivity, discuss the improvement in style and talk about the momentum the Albion are building. Sadly today will not be that day, and this will not be that article. Truthfully, the game at Broadfield on Sunday against Liverpool was the living embodiment of a phrase often…

Match Recap: Manchester Utd 2-0 Brighton
After a tumultuous week, Brighton headed north to Leigh Sports Village with hopes of repeating the performance they put in against Manchester United earlier in the season. Interim Head Coach, Mikey Harris, had just 60 minutes to train with his new charges on the grass before this game and at times Albion looked like a…

Melissa Phillips – Stats All Folks
I’ve gone on record to say that I felt Melissa Phillips should have been given more time before Brighton parted company with her. However, all signs point to some sort of breakdown between the two parties following her press conference on Thursday. The situation clearly advanced at pace and by the same evening she was…

Match Recap: Brighton 0-3 Chelsea
A rare Saturday outing saw Brighton take on the might of Chelsea at the Broadfield. It was always going to be a tough ask for the Albion against the league leaders and current WSL champions – and so it proved. Although the Blues dominated the play and possession early, Brighton pressed well and held their…

Match Recap: Brighton 3-2 Bristol City
If there is such a thing as a six-pointer after just half a season, Brighton’s game against Bristol City had all the hallmarks of one. If the Albion won it would lift them above Leicester and Everton into 8th. Lose and the Robins would go level with them on points with only West Ham to…

January Transfer Window – New Year’s Revolution?
Ahead of the January transfer window I wanted to identify a few potential targets that Brighton could realistically pursue in order to improve the squad. These are not rumours, I do not (sadly) have insider information, but hopefully it provides some food for thought and hey – sometimes it’s fun to speculate! Loan-ly This Christmas?…

Match Recap: Aston Villa 1-0 Brighton
Another week and unfortunately another poor performance by the Albion last night away at Aston Villa. Rumours of an illness that affected the squad are as of yet unconfirmed and therefore we can only discuss what happened on the field, not off it. I’m not a big fan of these late Sunday night kick-offs, particularly…

£1M Women’s Transfer Fee – Part 2: The Contenders
So, you know how we got here (if not – please read Part 1), but who will be the player to break through the barrier and smash one of the remaining glass ceilings in Women’s football? Some criteria first – I do think we are at least two years away from the first £1M women’s…

Match Recap: Liverpool 4-0 Brighton
Yeesh. I had quite high hopes for this game with the Albion coming off some excellent performances against the top four teams and a solid win in the Conti cup on Wednesday night. This was a humbling defeat and perhaps a suggestion that Brighton are not where we thought they might be. The Seagulls actually…

Match Recap: Brighton 0-3 Arsenal
Well, at least it wasn’t 4-0 this time. That might sound a little facetious in light of the spirited performance Brighton put in yesterday, but I promise there’s logic behind the levity. When Arsenal came to Crawley last season they were 2-0 up inside 10 minutes and 4-0 up at half time. The rest of…
