Brighton & Hove Albion vs Preston North End *** Official Match Thread ***

[Bob!]

think we should have enough to win the game , but if they keep Murphy quiet don't know where else we will create chances .

Bruno/Rosenior combo

 

[Wilko]

I can sense Ince having a blinder today.

That would be great! Need Murphy to provide the creativity today in the absence of Beram and Dale.

 

[Dick Head]

Up early to get the thread sorted - excellent dedication to duty!!

3-1 to the good guys. Baldock to get 2, Murphy the other (if he plays of course).

Thank you, sir. I composed it last night but, being aware of the superstitious nature of some on here, only published it early this morning.

You'd imagine Crofts and Ince would be a partnership in the practice matches. That's a plus.

 

[Seagulls1984]

Stephens has a broken heart can't play without kayal

 

[MattBackHome]

If Ince and Crofts can come close to replicating the missing pair then I'll be delighted. Great to have Murphy back though.

 

[DavePage]

Stephens has a broken heart can't play without kayal

No, that’s so sad

 

[Mackenzie]

Still a pretty good team though isn't it.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Take Stephens and kayal out of your team and I'm afraid your left with a distinctly averaged team.

Maybe you should judge the team once the game has been played eh?...

 

[portlander]

Run has to end sometime but don't expect it today, even without our regular midfield. Bong even sounds cool, let alone looks it.

 

[Bob!]

Anyone heard that Dale is unfit?
And Stocko has a late fitness test?

Unfit is strange reason for someone who has played every game so far?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Well, at least we'll find out how important the stephens/kayal partnership is.

 

[Seagulls1984]

Reading have ****ed things up

 

[TSB]

3-2 Fulham

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Fulham 3-2 up..good good.

 

[Mackenzie]

Hopefully the start of a dodgy run for Reading.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Surprised Holla is on the bench, last I heard he was on his way out with a loan move lined up a few weeks ago but guessing that's fallen through now, be interesting if he comes on as I don't think Crofts will last the 90 mins. Hopefully we are too strong for Preston today even though they do have a good record against us, only 1 defeat in the last 10 games playing us.

First goal will be key today.

 

[Wilko]

Reading concede 3 in 6 mins against Fulham, what a bizarre league this is!

 

[Acker79]

Annoying as hell addition to pre-match: tweets over the highlights, not bad on its own, but it is accompanied by an irritating whistle. This must stop.

 

[portlander]

Got to have someone who can play midfield on the bench. Wondered what had happened to him. Agree about the first goal, especially as Preston will be confident after they crushed Charlton
