Vs



Football league championship

The Amex

Kick off:- 12.45 p.m

Match officials:- referee:- SIMON HOOPER
Alexandra Ihringova and John Magill
Fourth Official Keith Hill

Can the Albion close out the season with a confidence bolstering victory going into the play offs and finally condemn wolves to the championship trap door?
Who will Gus play? keep the big names fresh for the main event, or play them and play the season out with a Kaboom?
Can wolves stay up and pull off the miracle by beating us and hope Barnsley and Peterborough capitulate?

I say a confidence bolstering 3-1 victory to the Albion. Ulloa, Orlandi and Barnes.

SMASH WOLVES, FOR BIGGER GAME LIES AHEAD!

I checked tete-text or whatever it's called these days to get the latest news this morning and it says we have Dani Lopez ready to step in as a defender. I look forward to seeing him. The good news, if it's correct is that Peterborough choose from a fully fit squad.

The good news, if it's correct is that Peterborough choose from a fully fit squad.

This is excellent news.

I am really surprised that the dream ticket Posh, Notlob, Forest treble is 14/1... I think it's much more likely than that

Rowley is on a roll

 

[Beach Hut]

4-0

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

4-0

This will do for me..plus a round of applause for a full minute on 4 minutes for Tony Grealish

 

[D Block blue]

3-0 Come on the Mighty Seagulls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Seasider78]

1-1

 

[El Turi]

Although it is understandable to rest a few players I hope Gus doesn't make too many changes so we can keep the unbeaten run going into the play-offs.

The game is the featured match on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

 

[Helen Chamberlains Quim]

Is this another Rowley special? An erroneous title that will guarantee victory for the Mighty Hove today? Clever work Rowley, now if you could just do the same for Posh, Bolton and Forest victories today you could be the cause of total NSC meltdown!!

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Lots of very positive predictions on this thread.. I'm going for 4-2 in line with Rowley's title asterisks.

Last Season
N/A

Head-to-head
• A dramatic last-minute goal from Roger Johnson ensured a point for Wolves in the reverse fixture in November, when six goals were shared. The hosts played the whole of the second-half with 10 men, after Karl Henry was sent off.
• Wolves have won two and drawn three of their last five against the Seagulls.
• Brighton's 4-1 win in February 2003 was not only the last time the south coast club beat Wolves, it is also their only maximum in nine against the black-country club.
Brighton
• Brighton, who last played top-flight football in 1983, have already won a play-off place, and stage their first home match since the 6-1 hammering of Blackpool.
• The Seagulls are unbeaten in eight (W4, D4), and undefeated in nine at home since Watford's victorious visit on 29 December.
• The only club to hold the dual distinction of not having lost a Championship match in which they scored first, and not won one in which they conceded first, are also the divisions' draw specialists (18 of 45) and have suffered the joint fewest defeats (nine).
Wolves
• Wolves have lost four of the last five and are two places and three points below the safety line and in grave danger of repeating the first three stages of their experience between 1984 and 1987, when they tumbled from the top to the fourth tier in successive seasons.
• Dean Saunders has supervised five wins in 19 Championship games as Wolves boss, and sends out the only club in the division with an equal spread of home and away wins (seven each), and one in search of an 800th victory in second level league football.
• Midfielder Karl Henry, 30, is set to make his 250th Wolverhampton league appearance.

Strange day - it's not often that I (and I suspect a lot of others on NSC) will be far more interested in results elsewhere

The 4 asterisks a side were in place at time of posting, but I guess the length of the team names must have knocked them out post posting. As for the other matches, palace ect, I've been sitting in a deep meditative state for the past 24 hours sending positive vibes from around the universe to all our play off rivals opponents.Mainly concentrating on Peterborough

 

[TheJasperCo]

Our unbeaten run will continue, 4-0.
