What happened to & Hove and Albion and City? Hope that goes unspotted by the match day demons

I had us down for a comfortable 2-0, not so sure now :annoyed:

I'm interested to see what Hughton does today, will the loss of our two first choice wingers necessitate a change in system or will he trust March and Manu to step up?

Indeed, I'd possibly be tempted to 4-3-3 putting Ince into midfield with Kayal and Stephens and putting Elvis up with Baldock and Hemed. Fortunately Hughton knows better than me so I'm sure he's hatched a slightly different plan :)

I'd go with Manu on left and Rosenior on the right

I agree. I wasn't at the Bolton game, but it sounded like March was disinterested and didn't follow Houghton's orders. Rosenior's had a pretty good season so far.
