Brighton were ambitious off the pitch last season and started with lots of promise before their form dipped hugely in the second half of the campaign. They have not had a great transfer window either. Key players Maya Le Tissier, Inessa Kaagman and Emma Koivisto have left, while some of their replacements have come from sides who finished lower than them in the league last season. Liverpool, Reading and Villa have all strengthened around them and though Brighton have some good young talent, they might lack quality in depth.
