*** Blackburn Rovers v Brighton & Hove Albion - Tuesday 01/4 @ 7:45pm - OFFICIAL ***

[kevtherev]

We don't and won't play 4-4-2.
We haven't brought in a ex-Barca man to resort to that old chestnut.

Please tell me, what have we bought him in for Because from where i'm sitting we are getting worse and worse fast....and you mean the old chestnut that is now coming back into fashion That's half the problem, we are TRYING to play a brand of football that is fast becoming outdated. It's was all the rage 4 years ago when Barcelona were the major force in Europe, but times change....Munich pissed all over Barcelona last season playing that formation and that was with world class players.

great sentiments
but I just cannot get up for this
but heres hoping it all ends well
I really want to scream at a winner

Never ever give up on your team. This is our beloved Brighton and Hove Albion, they will surprise us when we least expect it.

 

[glasfryn]

There's still plenty to play for this season.

Keep screaming

I know there is, but I cannot forget the Wendy season where were so near so many times but never made it.
nothing I would love better than if we really stuff this lot tonight

 

[Driver 8]

Width is no use at Ewood.
We need to counter their midfield down the centre, and we can do that with Ince and Andrews.
We have genuine pace up front, and quality at the back.

Plus we can change things around quite a bit with options from the bench.

A decent line up for me.

Genuine pace up front? Who?

 

[tommynockers]

After the last three games....Tk, Calderon, Dunk, Upson, Ward, Ince, Stephens, March, Lualua, Lingard, Ulloa......4-4-2, it's all or nothing time. Time to gamble, what's the worst that could happen Lose like we have the last three, playing a system and players that clearly isn't working.

No teams play 442 any more bar the best teams in the world!! It doesn't work unless you have unbelievable passing ability. Eg Liverpool. Although it pains me to say it we aint that good!!

 

[upthealbion1970]

Looking at the starting 11 glad I chose to stay at home tonight!

 

[Mellotron]

Lua Lua is AWFUL when he starts and March isnt experienced enough, simple as that.

Lingard, Ulloa and Dave 2 - all can play as strikers too, though Lingard and Dave will be supporting Ulloa, but it certainly adds a bit more attacking threat

Assume Stephens is still returning to fitness after his illness, can only be the logical reason why he hasnt started. Not a ball kicked yet and its almost as if we have already lost, Jesus wept.

Sorry that experience thing about March is nonsense. Every time e comes on he looks quick, strong, skilful and makes things happen.

they have surprised me many times over 52 years
none more so than just lately
and I won't give up until its impossible

 

[dougdeep]

It seems that Lingard is contracted to play every game.

Sorry that experience thing about March is nonsense. Every time e comes on he looks quick, strong, skilful and makes things happen.

Except the last game he featured in (possibly Ipswich) where he did absolutely nothing......

 

[GingerBeerMan]

I reckon its:

Kuszczak

Bruno-Greer-Upson-Ward

Ince-Andrews
Caskey

Rodriguez-Ulloa-Lingard
​

Have you lost your marbles? It'll clearly be:

Kuszczak

Greer-Upson-Ward
Ince-Andrews

Caskey

Bruno​

Rodriguez Lingard





Ulloa
​

That's the spirit, this is when the players need us more than ever. Hope we've taken a healthy travelling audience this evening to roar the boys on.

Not an inspiring team for a must win match, Andrew, Ince and Caskey again in midfield

 

[Dick Head]

something has got to give

I like your posts because I can stand at the other side of the room without my glasses on and still read them.

One of the conditions of the loan deal ?

If only it were Bridcutt, Orlandi and Crofts

Baffling. If there has been a midfield three that has not worked it is that three. Where is Stephens ?
