**** Burnley v Brighton & Hove Albion Official Match Thread ****

Cms and Vokes up front, about time.....But no width what so ever to supply them, so when it doesn't work he can bring back Barnes....No Lualua/Buckley/Assuin/Noone,,,,Poyet is crazy!!!.....even if we win, it's still crazy.

 

[perseus]

Brezovan, Calderon, El-Abd, Greer, Mattock; Navarro, Dicker, Jara Reyes, Vicente; Vokes, Mackail-Smith.

subs v Burnley: Ankergren (GK), LuaLua, Buckley, Noone, Barnes.

Good. We have not been playing well in Lancashire this season. I expected Craig Noone to feature but Will Buckley in the same squad !!! Kazenga is a must which means no place for Assulin in case Vicente gets injured. Last time Jara played in midfield we came unstuck!

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Different, Reyes and Vicente to roam and give the width, surprised all three wide boys on the bench

 

[WhingForPresident]

Three wingers and a striker on the bench- flair.

 

[Rugrat]

Crikey ... Navs/Dicker/Reyes

I must know even less about the game than I thought

 

[7:18]

Dicker and Vicente should link up well, and imagine Reyes partnering Navs just infront of the back 4

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Reyes had a mare vs Millwall in midfield

To be fair, the whole team was pretty gash against Millwall

I think Dicker could hold the key to this line up. We need his creativity in the midfield to compensate for no wingers imo.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Good line-up today and its great to see Dicker return - lets hope the changes can get us the win !!

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Good team selection i think. 3-1 to Albion!

Maybe, just maybe Poyet isn't looking to the wingers for once. For me the most effective I've seen CMS play this season was the last 20 minutes against Burnley. We were playing unorthodox balls over the top and he was bloody everywhere, so unlucky not to score! I'm sure I will be completely wrong but hey who knows, this is Gus we're talking about.

 

[Woodchip]

We're gonna rape them like the ref rapped us when they were at the Amex.

Leeds trying to kick Reading off the park.

Zac Thompson is sent off. 11:46 Zac Thompson challenges Jobi McAnuff unfairly and gives away a free kick.

 

[Box of Frogs]

I like that team selection! Got a good feeling about today!

Standard.

 

[Stat Brother]

150/1 for 5+ goals.
We haven't gone for a draw.

 

[perseus]

We need a minimum of four points over Easter. It will be much easier of we win this one. I think Craig Noone will be our first substitute to come on.

 

[GT49er]

Not much width, but it's good to see Gus taking a punt on CMS and Vokes together upfront. Guess he's going for win or bust (which is what today is!) Reyes on the right side of midfield, to fill in behind Calde when he goes on the rampage down the right?
