An old proverb states “An Englishman’s home is his castle.” Setting aside the patriarchal overtones, if we apply that phrase to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Broadfield this year, then our fortress has burnt down, fallen over and sunk into a swamp. In the ten games so far, eight in Crawley and two at…

Well, well, well, a form team the pundits are raving about, FA Cup finalists, past, present and future Lionesses right left and centre – held at home. Turns out the hype train stops at Brighton station. Truth be told, my sister got married on the weekend so as you can appreciate I was slightly distracted…

The scene was set, a picturesque evening at the Amex, a crowd of nearly 5000 fans, an Albion team on the rise. The only thing left to do was win. Neither side would have been happy with their first half output. The Albion arguably edged it, but it felt like both teams were going through…

‘From the sublime to the ridiculous’ is an often overused cliche, but I can’t think of a better phrase to sum up the Albion’s game against Leicester at the King Power stadium yesterday. Whilst some away fans were sat still, stuck in traffic on various motorways, their team was on an absolute rollercoaster ride that…

In particular…

As many of you know, I don’t have the capacity to write full recaps of cup games, and in this case I am truly glad I don’t have to. We were outplayed whistle to whistle on Saturday night and it would have been a serious challenge to come up with some positives to take from…

This game went through so many highs and lows that at one stage I thought I was at Alton Towers. I wasn’t of course, I was glued to the action taking place at Ashton Gate as the Albion took on Bristol City in a game which would have major ramifications for both winner and loser.…

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…

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…
