In my mind I can make a case for just about every conceivable scoreline except 0-0.


No prizes for guessing where I think the smart money should go!

At this stage of the season we just need to focus on a win, although a draw would be useful. They are not invincible although a very good side well managed by that wily Old Italian Fox. We can do this .
Even one point would lift us to 15th , that is worth going for. :albion2:

I'm not expecting anything from our game against Chelsea next week, so a point tonight would help erase any remaining nerves.

A win would be magnificent and allow GP to start introducing the likes of Caceido and Karbo for a few cameo appearances before the end of the season.

Up early not because of nerves for a change, but because I'm back at work like millions of others.
Heads up for the first person to ask which pubs are showing the game. No way I'm sitting outside when it's snowing.

A win would be fantastic, ease the old nerves, but we all know Brighton never do things the easy way! Plenty of possession tonight as usual and hopefully take our chances, a nice early goal would be great, but Everton are a decent side and we will have to be at our very best to get any positive result from this one.

I'm not especially bothered as I believe we have better options to start up top but the last I heard about Connolly was that he had a bad back that was actually a cracked rib and now I read he has picked up a foot injury.

A draw would be a good useful point , a win is possible and would be a huge step towards safety. 9 above Fulham who only have a possible 18 to gain.

1-1 written all over it. . . wheel drawer

Hmmmm, sounds like code for, he’s up for grabs in the summer.
Possibly best thing for him, he’s a poor mans Baldock.


As for tonight, similar starting 11 and plan to the last three games please.
With a cameo appearance for Izzie please.
