    1. Brighton never lost a game after going ahead from Oct 2011
    2. Brighton never won a game after going behind from August 2011


    The 2nd one is quite scary, cos it is pretty clear that we will go behind on a few more occasions this season, and poyet's lack of ability for a "comeback" might cause an issue. In fact, I saw it used in an article urging caution on his appointment ( http://rokerreport.sbnation.com/201...ession-and-messiahs-a-cautious-take-on-poyet? ) .

    My question is: How many times from Aug 2011 did Brighton actually go behind? 2 years is a long time without a comeback and looks awful, but if they only went behind 10 times in that 2 year period, then the statistic looks a lot better.

    Anyone know the answer?

    Don't know mate but those stats don't bother or make me spunk. Different league, different squads, different characters.

    I have heard though that he sticks to plan A rather than go direct. Might be a reason for it.
