The terrific FA Cup win against Pompey last weekend showed that Albion are capable of competing with Championship sides. Their reward for the 3-1 win is a trip to Vicarage Road in the 4th round, to face another Championship side; high flying, free scoring Watford.

But forget about that for now, it’s back to business in League One for the Seagulls, as Gus Poyet’s men look to continue their good run of form against fellow promotion hopefuls, Peterborough.

At the end of October, Albion secured the three points in the reverse fixture at London Road, with a convincing 3-0 win - Ashley Barnes with a birthday double, and Spanish full back Inigo Calderon completing an amazing October with his third goal of the month.

Halfway through January, and Albion still sit at the top of the table, but with other teams ready to pounce should they slip up. Nigel Adkin’s Southampton are looking the most likely to threaten Brighton’s three and a half month stay at the top - the Saints put six past Oldham on Tuesday night.

Whilst other clubs in League One (and elsewhere) continue to trade, sack and/or re-hire managers, it will be great for Albion fans that Gus Poyet seems to be staying put. One club caught up in the managerial merry-go-round is Saturday’s opponents, Peterborough, who have just named Darren Ferguson as manager, 14 months after leaving the club by mutual consent. Fergie Jr will be hoping for a better display than his predecessor Gary Johnson witnessed back in the autumn.
