This season's final tally of 4 draws (which all finished 0-0) was also the club's lowest in any league season. The previous record was 6 draws, which occurred in 1933/34, 1946/47 and 1983/84.

Fascinating, huh?
Another interesting point might be that we're the 8th team to have been relegated from the PL since it became a 20 team division in 1995 with 10 wins. Of the previous 7 sides, all bar 1 had a record that would have been better than Brighton had this season. Barnsley won 10 and drew 5 when they were relegated in 1998, meaning our record of 34 points is the worst in PL history for winning 10 games in a season. This is all the more galling when Brighton survived on a point tally slighly less than the average.

Our inability to squeeze out a few more draws cost us big time. While we can have the odd sob story, the fact that we were marginally worse than Barnsley were 21 years ago is not an inaccurate portrayal of the season, even though it's had a number of great moments and has been much more enjoyable than 5 years ago.
