Bolton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

[Rugrat]

Blimey, no Hammond or Orlandi. Crofts is a bit risky?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Loving the team! The Dagger, The Cyclone, Spanish Dave & Barnes!!! Should be some goals this afternoon!

 

[kevtherev]

That actually looks like a good 4-4-2 with Vicente is his natural left side of midfield, Dave on the right with the toy boys up front. But we know that's not how it will be.

 

[OSRGull]

No Lua Lua, turning into a ****ing joke.

 

[Wilko]

Bit harsh on Orlandi. I would not be happy if I were him being replaced by Barnes on the left. Not that I dislike Barnes but he is not a left winger.

 

[glasfryn]

does look like Gus is going for the win


google or bust

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Bit harsh on Orlandi. I would not be happy if I were him being replaced by Barnes on the left. Not that I dislike Barnes but he is not a left winger.

Perhaps with Tuesday in mind, likely he will start then?

Possibly, though if you want to rotate a left winger then why not LuaLua rather than shoe-horning Barnes in to a unnatural position. Love the rest of the line up though.

 

[The Modfather]

Impressive starting 11

Yep the joys of the best Brighton SQUAD, ever.

I've said before rotation will be important for the run in.
Mixed feelings about this team. If the players that come in can step up I will be a happy bunny.

Eager to see what Crofts has to offer, disappointing season for him with the injuries but should be a class addition. Could be like a new signing.

 

[Napper]

got to be 4 - 4 - 2 that

exactly this.

suspect the midfield will be

Lopez Croft Bridcutt Vicente

Squad game , Orlandi will be figure in the next 2 for sure

got to be 4 - 4 - 2 that

Dreaming there mate, 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 (which is really 4-5-1)

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Can't get any sound from BBC Sussex via Seagulls player, anyone else having issues?

 

[SeagullSongs]

I interpret it as:

Kuszczak
Bruno ~ El-Abd ~ Upson ~ Bridge
Bridcutt
Lopez ~ Crofts ~ Vicente
Ulloa ~ Barnes
​

But who knows?

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Vicente will not play Tuesday when Orlandi will start

 

[kevtherev]

We all know Crofts and Bridcutt will sit deep. Although surely we got to create something with Vicente and Dave in midfield, haven't we

 

[Sam-]

I interpret it as:

Kuszczak
Bruno ~ El-Abd ~ Upson ~ Bridge
Bridcutt
Lopez ~ Crofts ~ Vicente
Ulloa ~ Barnes
​

But who knows?

Similar to my view but drop crofts back alongside Bridcutt, and Barnes in behind Ulloa.
