Blimey! - CH must have read my post on the 'Team for Blackburn' thread!







Oh sh*t.....does that make it my fault if it goes tits up tonight?

 

[Eeyore]

I reckon that is a good enough bet in lieu of a lottery ticket i.e. £2. Not going down the bookies. Still recovering after an injury getting of the train after the Leeds game.

Shots 13 - 10.7
Shots on target 3.1

Goals 5-8 (6 scored from open play, one penalty)

https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1085032/Preview predicts 1-1

Backburn WDL 3-4-3 mixed results at home, but automatic contenders ought to win at Ewell Park

NB, Stats:

If Blackburn score a goal it is a 55% chance based on past results of teams vs Brighton in the Championship this season on their own turf. 22% first half and 33% second half.
Two goals and it is 22% chance
A goal from open play is 22% chance
A draw or defeat is 44% chance
A win is 11%

For the whole of 2016, Albion have lost 10.5% of games away.
74% record of conceding a goal.
But only a 79% record of scoring a goal.

Blackburn have all the chance of upsetting the form book. Albion really need to score more away from home

Ewell Park ? If I'd have known I could have made this one.

Wozza's got one in early doors, "Thomas Hemed"...TWICE.

 

[Mellotron]

I said Hemed and Skalak would be in for Murray and Murphy. I also said 2-1 Brighton. Here's hoping.

They've got until Saturday if they set off now.

I might have thought of starting Murray, Hemed and Baldock, and then thought better of it.

[SIMMO SAYS]

I'm pretty happy that Hemed is starting, he must be itching to play and get back at the spot.

Does he suffer from an interesting skin disease

 

[Boy Blue]
