Brighton and Hove Albion versus Burnley - ***Official Match Thread***

[Bry Nylon]

Lots of stroking the ball around at the back with no cutting edge or end product up front.

0-0

 

[hans kraay fan club]

1-1. CMS and Austin

 

[LamieRobertson]

2-2

 

[Husty]

We've won recent games, but lets be honest the opposition hasn't been very good. I fancy charlie austin to score and reckon we'll once again lack a cutting edge, 1 - 0 Burnley.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Going with a frustrating 0 - 0 draw.

 

[portlander]

Not optimistic - 2-1 to the Northerners

According to sky sports, Burnley have only kept a clean sheet twice in their last 37 games.

And we've failed to score in 6 out of 11. Which way is it going to go...

Most are waiting for the starting line-up to see if its 7 defensive players and 3 attacking players again,i would guess its gone be another pi$$ poor game and us being on the back foot for large parts which is shocking because we,re the bloody home side

Don't like to be negative but our style of play is very negative and the fact we,ve had the least shots at goal in this league doesn't bode well.

1-3 burnley

 

[Mackenzie]

Subs: Brezovan, Noone, Buckley, Navarro, Paynter (I think)

Edited: No Sparrow, Navarro instead

7th in the table in a learning season for all that will do me and when we have a good attacking midfielder and some solid support from another forward and everyone back from injury then maybe we can play more attacking football ...Oh and maybe if Vincente decides to grace the Amex things might be just a little better but until then 7th will do me

Why have we got noone and buckley on the bench?christ its goner be a long afternoon for our defence again if this is correct.

I'm guessing Buckley to protect his hamstrings, and Noone because he's been jaded recently. Great options later when the game stretches though.

We have the attacking players to do damage but gus prefers to sit back,i know we,re 7th and doing very well,but lets just go for it.

You need two wingers at home and two up top

Is that the plan then,to hold out for 0-0 with 20 mins to go?
