Brighton and Hove Albion v Charlton Athletic “OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD”

[Simster]

Was that a NYDay game Simster? Damn cold if I remember right.

I remember the Garry Nelson goal as if it were yesterday. Scored right in front of us, the traitor.

PG

Yep, the Valley game was NYD. The one you refer to was at Upton Park and he scored after about 30 seconds. They won 2-0 and we went down.

Come to think of it, I've seen Albion play Charlton at The Golstone (lost 3-5), Selhurst (2-2), The Valley (0-1) and Upton Park (0-2). Not going to Withdean tonight, but there must be people out there who will be able to complete the set.

And it's a good job I'm not, I've never seen us beat Charlton!

Do I remember a game at the Goldstone which finished up 6 - 4 to Charlton.

It was 3-5.

It was 3-5.

I know it was high scoring we kept coming back only for Charlton to score again.

I can remember watching Albion play at the Valley way back in the 50's when I seem to recall Stuart Leary - an international cricketer who also played centre forward for Charlton - scored for them. I got his autograph

I lost interest after "Smith"

 

[The Wizard]

I lost interest after "Smith"

Heres an idea, how about we get behind him?

 

[RexCathedra]

Pains me to see Thierry Racon on the wrong side, and on the bench. He is much missed.

 

[BensGrandad]

What does GP see in Navarro beats me.

 

[The Wizard]

What does GP see in Navarro beats me.

Perhaps he's trying out difference tactics, it's not like the normal 4-4-2 has been working.

 

[El Turi]

Shelvey, Llera and Racon on the bench. Are Charlton resting a few?

 

[shwoody1]

smith if he can build on his second half display saturday ok, navarro, im at a big loss here, not only cos he has so far been crap but i make that 3 like minded players, gus must be expecting a real scrap in the middle.

 

[Forster's Armband]

What does GP see in Navarro beats me.

This seems like a tactical change to me surely?
Something like this?



Smith

Hoyte Tunni Elphick El-Abd

Crofts Navarro Dicker

What does GP see in Navarro beats me.

He wins the ball? I'm off now.

 

[BensGrandad]

Perhaps he will sit either Navarro or Dicker in front of the back four to help protect them.

That looks right - get bennett running at the centre halves.

 

[Forster's Armband]

Actually I would not be surprised if Navarro sits which would give Crofts Dicker and Bennett a bit more freedom?

 

[glasfryn]

I thought the Dutchman was fit again,good to see Macca on the bench at last and on the Racon thing he did not look that good against Northwich 1-0 to us maybe a penalty
