Brighton make the long trip up to Joie Stadium on Friday to face Manchester City, a team that beat the Albion twice last season. Both games were tightly contested and I’m pretty confident the 2-1 loss would have been a draw had the game been 5 minutes longer. In that sense, any points against City…

BBC Sport claimed a 0-0 draw was a fair result for both teams, I would argue it’s more a mirror of Brightons transfer window. A lot of excellent defensive signings were made compared to the relatively few attacking reinforcements which made a clean sheet and a blank at the top make sense. When you make…

Our first home game of the season is against Aston Villa at the Broadfield Stadium and will be shown live on Sky Sports at 12pm. I imagine it was a contender to be played at the Amex, but the Women’s Rugby World Cup—where England play the day before and New Zealand face Ireland on Sunday—likely…

This week’s post looks at predictions for the new season that I believe will happen, but most likely, will make me look silly in May. Top Scorer This is a wild card and holds an element of the unknown this season. Parris and Fran Kirby shared the most WSL goals (7 a piece) and Parris…

Fresh from being part of a Euro-winning England side and being named Young Player of the Tournament, Michelle Agyemang returns to Brighton. Given that she made only three starts last season, where does Dario Vidosic plan to play her, and how does he intend to use her? One of the first areas worth considering is…

This week’s column looks at players for whom the 2025–26 season could be a turning point — perhaps even a little “make or break.” A successful campaign is either needed to reignite their trajectory or could be the moment they take things to the next level. Arsenal correspondent Tim Stillman does a version of this…

Rosa Kafija is a very exciting signing. She missed the Euros through injury, which denied her the opportunity to showcase her talents to the wider English audience and those unfamiliar with the WSL. But if you’ve been following the Champions League over the last couple of seasons, you’ll be aware of her massive potential and…

This rather large blog will analyse the squad in its current state ahead of the new WSL season kicking off on the 6th/7th of August. While the transfer window remains open for a while longer, Brighton have already been busy. So, where are we strong, and where do we have gaps? Goalkeepers Last season, the…

It’s been just over a year since Dario Vidosic became Head Coach of Brighton Women—and what an appointment he’s turned out to be. As the fifth manager since Hope Powell stepped down in October 2022, and taking over a club that had spent a season fighting relegation, he faced a tough challenge. Brighton were in…

Losing Poppy Pattinson, Maria Thorisdottir, and Guro Bergsvand in a single window marks a seismic shift for our defence. These weren’t fringe players—they were central to Brighton’s defensive identity last season. Replacing their minutes with players who are not just squad depth but ready to start is essential.It’s clear where our recruitment focus needed to…
