Stealing this from the Brighton boards: a practical approach to this season for BHA is to assume 40 points = safety. Those points will presumably come against the lower half of the league. Call the “lower half” last year’s PL bottom 8 + Huddersfield & Newcastle. Beat those teams at home and draw them on the road, and assume no other points - you get to 40.
A fan laid this out against the schedule to make it easy to see if Brighton was “ahead” or “behind” of gathering these most gettable points.
After Newcastle home we’re running a point behind. Not bad. Hoping modest expectations and a little context are the keys to sanity as we hover around the bottom 3 all year.
