On the first point, I totally agree, but he wasn't first name on the team sheet under Rowett and there's some concern he might want to cash in to sign players who fit his plan. On the 2nd point - too much change, bad appointments, dressing room issues - how long have you got?! Hopefully...

That's the story locally (that he's very settled at Derby) and I think also he knows that, with the cruciate injury that kept him out for most of 2015/16 and the disruption caused by playing under 3 managers last season (2 of whom, including Rowett, didn't seem to have confidence in him), he's...

From what McClaren's already said about needing to rotate a few players to keep the team fresh, and the fact that Johnson looks unlikely to start, I expect 2 or 3 changes - possibly Bent for Vydra or Nugent, Hughes for Johnson, and maybe a change at LB (if Max Lowe is fit). Alex Pearce has...

I've been trying that all season and it hasn't worked! Of course, there's a chance they might remember they're supposed to be decent players, but there's always a few moments in a game when they forget that completely and they aren't scoring enough goals to compensate. Maybe the fact that...

I don't know what you're all worried about - we've been handing out points to the needy like confetti since Christmas. Even Bristol City FFS got a point at our place and away from home, we've had zero goal-threat - only 3 goals scored away from home in 6 games, all at Ipswich - and we only...

A reliable ITK chap on one of our boards reckon Brizzle want £10 - 12M for him, so if there's any truth in it it's going to be a long haul because I can't see us paying that for any player, let alone a 26-year old Championship striker with one good season behind him. Bristol don't need to sell...

I hope for your sakes the campaign to get Boro's promotion revoked is going better than this one.

It's not difficult to spot the Eurovision Song Contest devotees on this forum. PS : I don't think the result is binding, but good luck with the wishful thinking.

I think we will just about be OK for 2015/16 : the quoted figures for a number of players include all the potential add-ons (appearances, gaining promotion etc) and the costs for FFP purposes can be spread over the length of the player's contract, which in the case of the most expensive signings...

I can vouch for the fact that the M1 between Leicester and Sheffield can be a nightmare on a Friday evening. I'd advise trying to be north of J22 before 5pm at the latest if you can - 4pm would be even better.

As a neutral on this issue, I haven't voted, but I'm inclined to agree with Billy the Fish. I think it was the way that Stephens 'jumped' into the challenge that caused the ref to view it is dangerous play likely to injure an opponent. His momentum and action was far more aggressive than...

The posts on this thread on the whole reflect well on Brighton fans - thanks for that. Thorne's already had cruciate ligament tears in both knees and deserves a bit of luck. Early indications are that the break is at least 'clean', so hopefully he'll be back training around the start of next...

caskey... caskey..... is that you?

Wouldn't work - too much sunshine for Will's condition :nono:

He's been poor in the last couple of games, something that has been happening on and off all season. He's one of those players who struggles when his head isn't right and he's definitely not been in the best frame of mind this season. There are rumours, but no-one knows why for sure. But despite...

Nice to read some genuine appreciation of Hughes' performance yesterday. His return is timely for us and it's fair to say if him and Bryson hadn't both picked up serious injuries in the first half-hour of the season we probably wouldn't have spent as much on replacements and might even have...

You mean the one where Dunk tried a sliding tackle at full pelt in the penalty area half a second after Russell had crossed the ball which forced Russell to take evasive action in order to avoid getting another broken leg? The only controversial thing about that penalty is that you don't often...

http://mobile.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/brighton-tickets-sold-out-3083730.aspx Club appear to be saying that the initial allocation of 1618 have sold out. Perhaps the extra tickets released for home supporters is the 400 they had to hold back in case we wanted them? Sounds like it might not be...

I can't see us resting many, if any, players. Even if we lose, there's still a chance we might play you in the POs, so why would Wassall want to give you a confidence boosting easy win by playing a weakened side? Johnson and Hendrick aren't fit yet, Thorne may not have recovered from the illness...

I wouldn't like to predict what our team's approach would be under those circumstances, or to be honest whether they'd turn up on the day. Whilst the last 2 home games have seen a return to the kind of attacking verve which was the trademark of McClaren's reign, and the players do appear to be...
