England decided to move away from an English National Manager, bringing in Albert Roca as a replacement. From being a fitness coach at Barcelona he taken Brighton to the verge of continental football before his new appointment.
We thrashed our newly promoted & local rivals Blackburn away from home.
Before we kick started our Champions League campaign with a victory over Atalanta at Turf Moor. We had the better chances but the only goal of the game came courtesy of their keeper slicing a backpass. It was a Sunday League style goal and one that would of had me fuming had it been the other way around - but we'll take it!
The added winning bonus is always a welcome reward alongside the 3 points.
Eze scored a last minute penalty to salvage us a point at Arsenal as our largely second string side managed to breeze past Bournemouth in the League Cup.
Eze has actually been in great form this season and over our last 3 League games has 5 assists and 2 goals to his name!
We then travelled to the Bernabeu for the rather inevitable thrashing. We put up very little resistance in truth and the scoreline could have been worse. I'm just hoping we can make a better game of it in the reverse fixture.
Just a single point followed in our next couple of Premier League games.
Whilst our in form Ebere Eze ended our 4 game winless run with a sublime freekick with virtually the last kick of the game to earn us a massive victory away to Sporting in the Champions League. If we can get a victory in the return leg then we may well qualify for the knockout stages with 2 games to spare!
We edged past Leeds to reach the League Cup Quarter-Finals and currently sit in 5th place in the League as we pass a quarter of the League's fixtures. Injury and fatigue is causing us some issues but are still doing well on all fronts at the moment.
