Bloom reflected on the 2020/21 campaign earlier this week, and said, "It's been the best season of football the club has ever played.
"There's been a significant improvement in performances. I know 41 points is the same (as last season’s total), but the goal difference is significantly better.
"A lot of things haven't gone for us. We don't like to complain too much, but in a different season, we could have had a lot more points."
Meanwhile Bloom has been delighted with the job undertaken by Graham Potter in his first two seasons at the club, and feels there is still more to come from his head coach.
"We're delighted he is still with us on a long-term contract and I'm very much hoping for positive things ahead.

"When we first brought Graham in two years ago, I was very confident in terms of what he had done at Ostersunds in particular and the season at Swansea.
"After the first few months [with Brighton] we were that confident we offered him an extra two years.
"Since then there have been highs and lows. It’s not been easy. Being a Premier League head coach is very tough.
"You lose two or three games and people ask questions. My belief has never wavered, I think he has done a tremendous job over the two years.
"Two years of experience is worth a lot so I expect him to pick up on things and to improve on things and to do even better in the future."
