Brighton fans have been sounding increasingly optimistic despite offloading key men Danny Welbeck and Jan Paul van Hecke over the summer, according to BBC News fan reaction.
Supporter Kelly admitted concerns when the pair departed, but says the Seagulls' new arrivals have "gelled wonderfully" under head coach Fabian Hurzeler, with Michel Gross reportedly "running the show" in midfield.
Michael, another fan quoted by the BBC, credited Hurzeler with maintaining the club's tradition of strong managerial performances, continuing the momentum built by his predecessors at the Amex.
The consensus among those cited is that Brighton are growing "stronger with each game", though there's a note of caution too — with fans bracing for what they describe as a genuinely tough run of fixtures ahead that will test how far this rebuilt squad has really come.
No further tactical or team-news detail was given in the BBC report, which focused on supporter sentiment rather than results or specific match analysis.
