[Albion] AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[London Irish]

As much as I’d like to see how the BBC and Sky line up’s worked out, I suspect this is the likely correct line up isn’t it?:

———————Bart
——Offiah - Dunk - Igor - Barco
————Gilmour - Gross
Buonanotte - Joao Pedro - Adingra
—————-O’Mahoney

Could be - or the other variant is Pedro out wide and Facu central

 

[London Irish]

Fati has seen a lot of the english country side. Wonder what it takes to start a game? Looks like we give a shit if finishing 9 or 13. Well, good luck to the new boys. I’m not sure it’s right to just throw them in like this. Hope it works out well though.

It hasn’t worked out alas with him, seems a good player but ravaged by injuries. In truth none of our signings have worked out this season except King JP - one of the reasons why we are treading water

 

[DJ NOBO]

So 6 good games - terrible in the league, early FA Cup and League Cup exits

I’m not sure Marseille really care that we beat them especially as they are still in the competition !

Not disputing it has gone to shit but it wasn’t very long ago that pundits and commentators were queueing up to say Brighton get everything right. Overall it’s been a decent season.

Igor is decent enough.

Been slamming RDZ recently but love this line up. Chance to see some new blood who have a point to prove and no Steele !!

Don't care if we get beat as long as some promise from the new lads.

Is Fati not fully fit ?
If he is fit, that‘s embarrassing for him

He’s on loan and so will add nothing next season. Let the kids have a go.

There is a bit of me that would prefer that as I think Buonanotte is so much better centrally and it gives Joao Pedro more of a chance to run at the defenders.

However, with a rookie up front, I would also like Joao Pedro to be more central and closer to O’Mahoney.

Hmm ..I wonder if the person who deals with lineups/formations View attachment 181481knows much about us

Quietly Googling to find out who this 'dos Santos de Paulo' is! Wouldn't be the 1st time that someone has been on the pitch that I've never heard of!

Ironically it could be that Fati isn’t hungry enough ?

 

[Right Back]

I like this team. All about preparing for next season. Interesting to see what O’Mahony can do from the start. Has looked promising off the bench.

Return of midfield maestro WBG

I don’t care if Fati is fit, willing and playing like prime Messi in training, he’s been shite and doesn’t deserve minutes, two months and he’s not our problem anymore

 

[Springal]

He’s on loan and so will add nothing next season. Let the kids have a go.

Given every league position is worth £3M and RDZ crying out for new signings then I’m not quite sure we can throw it all out the window. But if RDZ thinks this is the best team to win a game possible I’m all for it

 

[DJ NOBO]

Yeah , it’s done isn’t it

 

[Gabbiano]

I like that we're giving the kids a chance though it feels a bit like were resigned to that being that for the season. Come on Odel and Mark, seize this opportunity!

Will be interesting to see how Adingra-JP-Buonanotte line up as they could be interchangeable behind O'Mahoney.

I got confused by that a couple of weeks ago as well

Wow, that's harsh! I understand that he hasn't played well, but the hate Fati has received is insane. He is still our player and I hope he does well when he does play, like the others.

If he scores a brace MOTD will be selling him to Arsenal or Spurs this evening.

especially given he changed the game in Europe for us this season which for many is the highlight of our season !
