Match9 Dec 2026

Brighton bow out of the cup

West Bromwich Albion go through and Brighton go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Nobody could get near Yankuba Minteh

Successful dribbles: 33. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Up for the corner, and Yasin Ayari delivers — 7.82

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Yasin Ayari scored, was marked 7.82, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Brighton

Bart Verbruggen and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Words at Brighton training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kaoru Mitoma is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match12 Dec 2026

Brighton find a way past Aston Villa

Aston Villa made Brighton work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of James Milner

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Kofi Shaw signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Kofi Shaw and Brighton agree another 4 years.

Loan watch14 Dec 2026

Steven Hall counts the days

“I watch every Brighton game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Gillingham runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Bart Verbruggen stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Jacob Parsons says Brighton went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Brighton

Kaoru Mitoma was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Olivier Boscagli stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Olivier Boscagli and Brighton agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad30 Nov 2026

A move Gonçalo Cascalheira would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Gonçalo Cascalheira is living that version at Brighton, and it tends to show in the first month.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Yankuba Minteh was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match28 Nov 2026

Brighton come up short against Chelsea

Chelsea left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Peter Clarke to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

A promise honoured for Matt O'Riley

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Brighton told Matt O'Riley something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
