Hughton is on it putting him as support forward. Some of their fans want to see JB back on the wings: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Most important thing was his fitness, he was still showing lots of energy deep into injury time.

Hopefully the game should be good for JB's confidence. He was third highest rated in BBC Sport for Brighton: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I do not think the standard will be any better than the Eredivisie, judging by the first match which lacked any intensity. +4% possesssion if not taken off. Chance of a goal dependent on what sort of team WBA play.

West Bromwich 1 Brighton & Hove Albion 3 (AET)

Thoughts:

Chess game which was tolerable to watch until we gave them a goal. Then Brighton got lucky as WBA gave a goal back and made four unwise substitutions. WBA youngsters looked OK in the middle of the park. Albion’s (=Brighton) reserves made it hard work, didn’t really look very good at shooting and it needed the oldie in Glenn Murray to find the back of the net.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh had 80% passing, 72 touches, two worthwhile shots, a penalty claim, lost the ball 3 times, a few key passes that led to some of the 12 corners.

Chance creation was not as incisive in 90 minutes as the first team 0-0 v Watford. Much the same sort of story though, not razor sharp in front of goal.

Good performance from Alireza tonight, would be great (from a Brighton perspective) to see him get a run of games under his belt

he needs a strong of good performances in premier league to save his career. he needs at least 3 goals this half-season

I think "save his career" is a bit heavy handed.

I don't think he is under threat really in this first season which has been affected by injury and Asian cup so far. Hughton prefers to ease players in and you can see this with the signings from last season.

I think if he has a disappointing second season then that would be a different matter. The fans may not be too warm to JB but Hughton is patient and will give him time.

that is the best thing about his hefty buy price..!!
the club has no choice but to practice patience with him anyways and he certainly hasnt been proven a bust by any stretch of imagination....!
