If he's been as good as people say, then it can't be a surprise that JB isn't starting. Much as it is frustrating for us as fans.

That is neutral analysis. Brighton fans must know that Solly March has got a poor scoring record. He has not got a very good assist record either.

Ashley Young (Man U) and Trippier (Spurs) stopped Solly March going on the outside and he only got joy on his much weaker right foot. March got a right footed assist for Murray against Man United so credit where it is due.

There is my suspicion that the two England full backs Trippier and Danny Rose (Spurs) are not that good. I think Ashley Young is far the best of the three.

Chadli earned his place in Pochettino's "weakened" League Cup squad in 2014-15. Massacred Brighton 2-0 back then with the new fellow Kane up front who soon replaced Chadli in their PL side.

Chadli got his first games and valuable match practice against lesser opposition. Better sides when playing lesser opposition are more likely able to carry a passenger, although I thought Chadli deserved his place and the Spurs League Cup side attack became their first team attack.

Likewise, I think the near future Brighton plan is an attack of Andone, Izquierdo, Locadia ??? Jahanbakhsh, with Murray retiring (at the end of the season?) and Knockaert still in contention. When will the transition occur? Montoya has already got a first team place, but I think the leaky Brighton defence this season has got more to do with the absence of the ageing Bruno than anything Montoya has done wrong!

If you think March and Knockeart are gonna get you anywhere than you deserve to root for a second division club.

Can you imagine how bad it would be to "root" for a second division club? How would I cope? The mighty Brighton and Hove Albion suffering the shame of second division football. :rofl:

I really want to Alireza start soon. I think in his last 3 sub appearances he has really started to show what he can do and I'm very excited to see more.

Equally, I can see why CH has managed the situation as he has so far and it's not always about playing your best XI but managing the group of players. Solly will be needed this season and we need to get him to level up and we need him to stay confident and motivated and feel valued. He's also, in a particularity tough run of games very attuned to what the manager expects of him (he's virtually a wing back he defends so deep) and good at helping us stay compact and organised as a team. Alireza's time is coming though, you can feel it and I look forward to it.

Dear Iranians , do not panic! His chance will come sooner or later. The manger has brought him there for a reason, not to just keep him forever on the bench. Let’s trust CH and show our support to Brighton.

Do not forget that Alireza is a true professional and this situation will only make him more determined.

Guys we don't need any of that sensible perspective and reasoning here thank you very much. This thread is AIDS and I'd like it if you either contributed accordingly by speculating on why ARJ and Hughton/Brighton's relationship has broken down or stayed quiet.

Let's try again for the seventh week in a row...Brighton's past two record signings dont get a start in their first two months at the club. ARJ proceeds to not get a start in his first two months at the club. There is absolutely nothing unfair nor unexpected here. Imagine accepting that from the off and instead looking positively at the fact he seems to have taken to the league well in his brief cameos.

Their run of fixtures now becomes much kinder and the 2 month adjustment period comes to a close. He will be given starting opportunities in the next 2 or 3 games, guaranteed.

Brighton are down to 15th place looooooooool

How dare we question the almighty CH, he is never wrong and we are never right! The higher diety himself! Even if he loses he is still god and we are inferior.

Alright lads there is two sides to this story...look at it this way. Chris Hughton is a legend in Brighton, he took them into the Premier League for the first time and then did the unthinkable and kept them up in their first season there. This is dreamland for Brighton fans, of course they are going to stick up for him because of what he has done for them. Brighton is more than Alireza to them.

On the other hand we know what Alireza can do and it’s frustrating because we want to see him tear the Premier League up against some of the best teams in the World.

Also yes Brighton are 15th, they have played the top four from last year so it’s been a difficult start, understandable. If it’s mid season and they are still really struggling then yes Hughton will probably be under pressure from the directors at Brighton to change things up.
