We never know how Brighton will start with a new coach, but they have started well but after the midpoint of the season it is uncertain how consistent they will be this season.
But remember that this team does not have the mentality to stay in the top 4 until the end of the season so it will be difficult for Brighton to maintain it.
It doesn't matter how they start, but how they end

But we know, Brighton is the talk of the town not because of their achievements in the Premier League, but because of the buzz of their player transfers.
Tony Bloom and Paul Barber focus on the club's profits, they run the concept of "Keep Calm and Carry On" at Brighton. Buy cheap, sell as expensive as possible.
Moises Caicedo, Ben White, and Alexis Mac Allister are proof of this and this season they will still do it because they have a lot of gems.
