One of my New Year predictions is that Albion will beat the drop.
What a marvellous result at Norwich on Boxing Day. When Steve Sidwell scored I must admit I thought it might have come a bit too early but by all accounts they defended magnificently in the second half.
Brighton needed that win, especially with Grimsby, Bradford and Sheffield Wednesday all winning, but after a run of games when their performances haven't been rewarded points-wise, it will be a massive boost to the side's confidence.
Perhaps there may be the opportunity in the next couple of weeks for Steve Coppell to bring in another defender or perhaps someone to take the goalscoring burden off Bobby Zamora. Let's hope so.
