We asked for your questions on Brighton to ask our BBC Radio Sussex reporter Johnny Cantor over the international break.
In part the final part he focuses on Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler and the players currently injured and on loan who could force their way back into his squad.
Thomas asked: How do you think the quality of performances are this season compared to under Roberto de Zerbi? For me, too many games have come from poor performances and too many winnable games have resulted in defeats. Still not convinced by the current manager.
Johnny answered: Well Thomas that’s certainly a difficult comparison to make over a lot of games. I think the team have played well in spells of games but have struggled to pull it together for whole matches on fewer occasions this season.
The style is different under Fabian Hurzeler and it has taken a more pragmatic approach to reap dividends in recent months. I think one thing to consider is that there were also a fair number of games under Roberto de Zerbi that underwhelmed but we tend to only recall the highs rather than the lows.
Albion have struggled to beat a few teams lower in the table with too many draws but the record against then bottom half reads W6 D7 L2 and there's still another five to go so could go both ways.

Richard asked: Of the players out on loan or long-term injured, e.g Webster, do you see a route to the first-team squad next season for any of them?
Johnny answered: Lewis Dunk has proved age is just a number when it comes to Albion centre-backs but there is no doubt everyone may need to be patient with Adam Webster as he returns from a season out. He is a quality player who was on the verge of the England squad so still has plenty to offer.
Brighton have lots of players on loan and many will get a chance to impress in pre-season. Carl Rushworth's future is still to be decided but as well as Brajan Gruda, Amario Cozier-Duberry and Malick Yalcouye have had decent spells this season. However, the number of Seagulls players heading to the World Cup shows the strength in depth and the difficulty of the task of breaking through.
