Over the course of Wednesday, BBC Radio Sussex's Johnny Cantor will be answering your questions about Brighton. In the first part, our expert looks at Albion's realistic aims for the season and the style of play new boss Fabian Hurzeler is implementing.

Charlie asked: Thoughts about the start of the season, Johnny? What can we aim for - do we dare dream of Europe?

Johnny replied: It has certainly been entertaining! A refresh is always tricky - with a few ups and downs - but, in time, things should be more settled.

I think Europe is the clear target but I would also say many things have to align for that to happen.

Hurzeler has inherited a very good squad, with some excellent additions, but injuries may have an impact.

The loss of Matt O'Reilly was a blow and as we wait to see the extent of injuries to Joao Pedro, Jan Paul van Hecke and Adam Webster, there could be a big strain on certain players in key positions.
