I feel sure Dick Knight and Martin Perry have the Albion's situation with new players and, more importantly, the manager covered.

Many managers become casualties during the first few weeks of the season and look for a new club.

The board may well have limited funds for team strengthening, with the cost of Falmer looming, so keeping hold of the current management, backroom staff and as many players as possible is its priority.

Let's not panic. Let's look forward to another exciting season.
