I think some of the fans are going that way, hopefully (and I fully expect) Gus will keep the players feet on the ground.
There is a fine line between confidence and arogance
Bight on and Hovel Albion Perdiction Thred - exeweb.com forums
alot of them are thinking they will lose heavily but one intresting comment said
"Some of their fans are expecting us to park a bus in front of our goal. Should the right City team turn up, then we are more than capable of giving them an unpleasant surprise"
but thats there fans talking, will they come to defend? any thoughts?
Christ what's wrong with enjoying the moment. It's not as if this was expected, that we started the season with a Devine right to do well etc. I thin some fans actually want us to do badly so they can make snide remarks from behind their keyboards. Tell you what, get yourself along to a match and you'll see why we're winning. Unless we've fluked 10 in a row? You miserable bastards. How about enjoying your life reverend instead of praying for gloom?
Anyone remember that game against Exeter when they got 10 yellow cards? And, amazingly, no red ones?
Negatives for Tuesday:
still over 500 tickets to sell, the family stand will be pretty well empty and the away end too so the usual Withdean atmosphere despite Saturday's endeavours.
Tisdale knows Gus and his "style" and will be setting his stall out to counter it. Pressing for the whole 90 minutes is a dangerous ploy so expect them to sit very deep and hit us on the break - something they have proved themselves to be more than capable of doing. Expect 5-3-2 with three centrebacks.
Danger men Ryan Harley and Adam Stansfield (12 goals between them) are having an outstanding start to the season and Jamie Cureton (4 goals) also still poses a threat.
In the league Exeter have 2 away wins (Hartlepool & Yeovil) and scored 3 goals on each occasion. They have 2 away wins in the cups also scoring 3 goals on each occasion.
Positives:
They failed to score in 3 away defeats at Bournemouth Orient and MKDons and only drew at lowly Dagenham
They will have very few fans present and come of the back of a bad home defeat
Albion will not be complacent - "We are Brighton and we play our own game"(Gus)
Barnes will be bouyant and fancy his chances. Murray and Bennett will be keen to make an impression on the scoresheet. LuaLua will be back.
Their GD is -5 away from home (ours at home is +7). We haven't conceded in the last three games and have only conceded twice in one match on one occasion (v Rochdale in August).
Prediction: 2-1
