Squad

Nils Ramming keeps Brighton in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

A fracture rules Robert Parker out for 39 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Brighton will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Yankuba Minteh is carrying Brighton

13 goals and a season average of 7.74. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad

Daniel Atkinson keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Brighton may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings

Yankuba Minteh was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.49. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Tyler Silsby was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.13. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match

Brighton see off Arsenal

Three points for Brighton, 2‑1 the final word against Arsenal in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market

The Yankuba Minteh question follows Brighton around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Yankuba Minteh’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Player ratings

The chances came and went for Evan Ferguson

11 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Squad

Babis Kostoulas in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Brighton this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Brighton training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Evan Ferguson 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.

Squad

Evan Ferguson gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Harry Mitchell attracts admirers

The name of Harry Mitchell has come up in conversations Brighton were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Match

Brighton come up short against Brentford

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

Squad

Daniel Atkinson stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Daniel Atkinson and Brighton agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings

The one thing Babis Kostoulas could not do

Shots: 13, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Player ratings

Evan Ferguson keeps on missing

Shots: 10, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Player ratings

Yankuba Minteh keeps on missing

Shots: 11, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.
