Head-to-head
• This is the 25th meeting of these seaside clubs. All previous 24 were league games, with Blackpool holding a nine wins to eight lead.
• The Lancashire club are unbeaten in five against the Seagulls (W3, D2).
• The most recent of Brighton's three league wins at Bloomfield Road was 2-0 in September 2000 at fourth league level.
Blackpool
• Ian Holloway's side have managed one win in six league games, and are in danger of sliding out of the top-half from top spot.
• They have won all four league games in which they have opened the scoring.
• But the Seasiders have failed to find the back of the net in three of their last five outings.
Brighton
• Brighton are yet to beat a fellow top-half club, and are in danger of suffering three successive league defeats for the first time this season.
• The Seagulls are vying for their 100th away win in second level league football.
• Championship games involving Gus Poyet's men have generated fewer goals than any other club (23), but they remain one of two clubs in the division, not to have surrendered a single point once in front; the other is Leicester.

Naylor has been the man in the middle on only two occasions for Brighton. Firstly in the 1-0 defeat to Middleborough in December 2011 and secondly in the 1-1 draw vs. Nottingham Forest where Matt Sparrow was shown to yellow cards.

This will be only Naylor's second game for Blackpool the first in March was a 3-3 draw with Leicester.

5 stars and you have done "-v-" - controversial !!!

2-0 win to us - whoever scores first will win though, as Blackpool dont come back and win games either.

Posh end of Shoreham
The last time I felt this low in confidence about the Albion getting a result was last years home game against Southampton
And we ended up winning 3-0 so you never know

I was literally 30 seconds too late! Can we just merge them and call it a joint effort?

9:26 to 9:28 is literally 30 seconds?

They could be merged, but it would still be MY thread.
I'll happily let you take all the glory...
