Under new boss Fabian Hurzeler, Brighton have had a fine start to the Premier League season.

We asked what is the one thing nobody is talking about but really should be?

Here are some of your comments:

David: We now have a good sized squad with strength in depth, but why are so many players suffering injuries ? Our numbers were terrible last season and we already have issues added to that this season, including most new arrivals. So, is it training, fitness related or just bad luck?

John: I think we’ve done well but had some huge slices of luck along the way. The overturned penalty awarded to Everton, the Manchester United offside goal and the Declan Rice sending off. I think it’s a little too early to expect this to be a really big season. Let’s see how we respond as the luck changes, as it inevitably will.

Alan: With the departure of Pascal Gross, Billy Gilmour was the midfielder who should have been the first name on the team sheet every week. Calm, dependable, and with a terrific full season behind him. How anyone could warrant replacing him with a number of Premier-League-untested options, and accept comparatively so little a fee for him, is beyond me.

Daniel: How good we have been, we could win the league if we keep this up but nobody is taking us seriously. If Manchester City get relegated, what's stopping us?
