*** Bristol Rovers vs Brighton and Hove Albion - Official Match Thread ***

[ⓣ ⓞ ⓜ]

Is it Ashton gate or the memorial stadium I get confused between the two

With the weather here in Brighton, I'm just glad the game is away today!!

I think it will be 0-0 for a long time in these conditions. Bristol Rovers have injuries and they are a poor team (by results) but they do figure in high scoring games. Gus seems to be playing 4-4-2 narrow instead of more attacking 4-3-3 sort of.

Memorial Stadium

 

[clippedgull]

Noone does seem to be protected by Gus. Although Tarricco says its going to be a time before he can fit in with our style of play.

 

[Geo]

Was listeneing to Painter talking about Noone on Radio Sussex. Very complimentary. Noone still getting to grips with the Poyet style of play and is getting on very well with the team. Will become a serious force in the future.

Nooney is adapting to be a FLAIRISTA.

Noone is a bit of a scouse player apparently. Asked out a young lady who was trying to find him a flat to rent but he crashed and burned. Probably why he's on the bench now

 

[Perkino]

I'd rather see a 4-4-2 with Noone in the side

 

[perseus]

What colours are we playing in?

 

[Geo]

Hopefully Noone will be on the 2nd half . Gasheads been talking that last time round Noone playing for the Pilgrims totally demolished their defences. Theye are not relishing him playing today

I think the idea is to play Noone in a 4-3-3 which we may hear in the second half whatever the score is. But we may not because Sparrow is not in the squad.

Liam wants a song as he doesn't have one

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

come on you super seagulls

Our boys are watching the match in a tent. Still I spose it's better than no roof at all.

looks like a right shithole

All white, same as Tuesday

 

[Geo]

Listening to Tanno he certainly has the ~Flairisto~ required. He talks with total confidence al la Gus mode. Also just said Noone needs a little bit of time to settle into the way we play but is a very good player

 

[glasfryn]

C'mon Albion lets have a good early goal from you
