Musicians talk about the difficult second album.

For Brighton and Hove Albion, Town’s visitors on Tuesday, it’s the tough fourth season!

The Seagulls have soared since their move to the impressive Amex Stadium coincided with promotion from League I in 2011, when Town were the last-ever visitors to the Withdean Stadium.

The finished 10th in their first campaign back at Championship level since 2005-06.

And they’ve made the play-offs for the last two seasons, the first under Gus Poyet, the second Oscar Garcia.

Now former Finnish ace Sami Hyypia is at the helm.

And it’s taking time for the ex-Liverpool star and Bayer Leverkusen boss to find his feet.

Albion go into today’s South-coast showdown with Middlesbrough in 19th place, one below Town.

In the league, they are without a win in eight, and have drawn each of their last four.

They have won in West Yorkshire this time around, defeating Leeds United 2-0 at Elland Road.

Hopes were raised when Bolton Wanderers were beaten 2-1 at the Amex in the next game.

But the only victory since was over Burton Albion in round three of the Capital One Cup.

As a result, Brighton fans have a trip to Tottenham Hotspur to look forward to the week after next.

But points are the priority for Hyypia, who made a bid to sign Adam Clayton from Town before the midfielder joined Middlesbrough.

Hyypia has succeeded in bringing in former Town junior keeper David Stockdale.

He has landed former Barnsley duo Paddy McCourt, the Northern Ireland winger, and striker Chris O’Grady.

Northern Ireland defender Aaron Hughes has joined from QPR, Dutch midfielder Danny Holla from Den Haag, Spanish frontman Adrian Colunga from Getafe and the Congolese midfielder Nzuzi Bundebele Toko from Swiss side Grasshoppers. .

And Hyypia has three players on loan, left-sided Aston Villa duo Joe Bennett and Gary Gardner and Liverpool’s Portuguese forward Joao Teixeira.
