I just don't feel confident. Three away defeats on the bounce in all competitions, our record at Brentford is pants and we're off the back of a bad one. So a mere 0-3 win for the good guys or wheel loose :wink:

Hoping for a Huddersfield v Leeds draw and an albion win.

Meaning that the points gained over 2 games are

Reading 4
Leeds 4
Huddersfield 4
Albion 3

and the damage from Thursday is limited.

I'll be first to ask.

Any streams available ?

My back is playing up so standing at the AMEX will be too much.

Catching the train soon. I expect nothing more than a revitalised Albion. Going to win this comfortably and go back on top.

I would be VERY pleased with three points today - but I'm not too hopeful.


OT, embedded pics and video clips are just coming up as black rectangles today (and yesterday). Anybody else getting this? Any suggestions on how to fix?

We will get hammered. Alcohol is the only way to play Brentford, those four pubs are there for a reason and they must take more money off Brighton fans than any other visiting club in their history given our appallling record. I fear a rout, looked good post Hogan v Villa too.

Expect an absolute Shocker, we're twinned with Liverpool for the moment.
