Nothing to suggest this is likely though. Brighton still only scored 9 goals away all season and Spurs are a much better side. True Spurs may rest one or two ahead of the cup game at the weekend, but I think Brighton will be a bit nervy and downhearted after the weekend. I'm expecting a regulation Spurs win. Plus which they will be knackered and plus which they will still be without Proepper.

Living quite near the Amex I tried (and failed) to get a ticket for the Brighton v Spurs game tonight. Not that I want to pass on my hard earned money to BH&A, but I just wanted to be there to see Spurs stuff them - which I sincerely hope they will do.

my gut tells me that is an overly optimistic view as far as we are concerned but you maybe right and statistics/simulations may prove it to be true. Of course several relagatipon candidates still play each other so that limits the build up of points. Originally posted by Beanyboysmd

Odd post. It is our defence that needs shoring up; but let's see what strikers are available..? Our defence was badly bruised in only 5 games that make up 19 of the 54 goals conceded. Up till then our record in the prem has largely been one of stacks of losses but no spankings. If you take those games out and restore our usual form, we would be top half on goals conceded (and, likely, position). Burnley are pushing for Europa having scored 3 less goals than us. Thus, I support the point you may have been thinking: if we are going to focus on buying from the relegated/lower clubs then target their defences. E.g. Brighton + Swansea have conceded considerably fewer goals; even the Baggies have a better defensive record than Palace. Thus, unless Papa has restored full fitness, I would be looking at a new LB and CB to replace Damo. Any thoughts from those teams? Answers please on the Transfer page... BTW, when we survive, there seems a delusion that we will have our pick of the demoted. Nope. Parachute payments will mean there is unlikely to be much plundering unless the players are on eye-watering wages and/or command sky-high fees - not usually defenders. Also, like it or not but there are bigger &/or richer clubs who will rank ahead of us. Not that those facts will stop the dreary round of summer posts as to why we haven't landed Ayew etc... So you don't think finding a new striker for next season should be a priority? Odd post.

The problem is (I think all football fans near the bottom have the same thing) that we all look through turd tinted glasses! So many things have to happen for us to go down but those scenarios look way bigger than they are. We are a paranoid club, there is a 3.5% chance of going down. 3.5% feels huge when its the club you love. Originally posted by DutchEagleJohan

With last nights draw to me its looking like the current bottom three will be the final bottom three. Either one more win or a draw against Stoke and I reckon we are up.
