Head-to-head
• These clubs have met for league action on Brighton turf on 12 occasions and there is a certain symmetry to the results, with the Seagulls winning four, drawing four and losing four.
• One of their quartet of victories was in their first meeting at the Amex Stadium a year ago, when Will Buckley secured all three Championship points with the only goal of the game in stoppage-time.
• Forest have won only two of their last nine second and third tier meetings with the south coast seaside club.
Brighton
• Brighton are on their same points total as at this stage last season, and lie equal on points and immediately above Nottingham Forest at eighth, one point outside the play-offs.
• The Seagulls have won four home league games, but all of those have been against the current bottom-four clubs.
• Each goal scored has been worth 1.1 points, which is the highest value in the Championship.
Nottingham Forest
• Sean O'Driscoll's Forest are vying for a fourth win in six league outings.
• They have not registered an away victory against a top 15 club.
• If picked, Radolsaw Majewski would be playing on his 26th birthday.

Yes, this is pointed out to me every time but it should be AND.

Good solid thread as usual !!

Alert for those coming down from the North/London by train - there's delays to services between Croydon and Gatwick due to a landslide at Earlswood.

 

[The Modfather]

i'm going for a 2-1 victory for the Albion today

 

[Everest]

Yes, this is pointed out to me every time but it should be AND.

You could always complain to the club, but they'd probably tell you to "sit down, shut up"

Thank God for Christmas break!
