Chris Hughton’s Seagulls soar

It may still be very early days but the Championship table will make very pleasant reading for Chris Hughton this morning. 

Having won 2-1 at Fulham on Saturday, Hughton’s Brighton lead the way as the only side with a 100% winning record.

Can they stay there? Last season would suggest not, as Brighton finished just two places clear of relegation. Given that they were just a point clear of relegation when Hughton was appointed manager on New Year’s Eve it was a case of mission accomplished for the former Ireland international, but to go from that to promotion challengers would seem a tall order.
