[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Looks more 4-3-2-1 to me with CMS up front. Surprised no winger

 

[perseus]

No one on the wing

Line up:

Albion team v Derby (4-3-3) Ankergren; Calderon, Greer, Dunk, Vincelot; Bridcutt, Navarro, Harley; Hoskins, Mackail-Smith, Barnes.

No one on the wing, and some people wanted four wingers on the pitch. I predicted Noone being rested and Navarro in the team. Also El-Abd on the bench.

 

[beardy gull]

No Noone, No Lua Lua, No Buckley, I'm slightly confused..

You are indeed. Lua Lua and Noone both on bench.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Looks more like 4-3-1-2 with Hoskins taking a free role behind CMS and Barnes!?

Hosky might be out on the left with Barnesy on the right , CMS in the middle

 

[Surf's Up]

No width in that line up.

and no pace down the wings, but still bloody offensive. Would love to see Hoskins AND Buckley on at the same time.

 

[brighton terra]

I think KLL is on the bench

As is Noone. The big surprise is another no show from Buckley! We have looked a much better side when he has featured.

Very narrow looking line-up... No idea on the Derby team, I'm guessing they are not aerially threatening due to the very narrow formation? Looks like we are leaving a lot of space for them on the wings if they want it.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Evening all! Interesting line up.... presumably the tactic is designed to deal with Derby... hence no wingers.

 

[chucky1973]

Just one question............assume Barnes is going to play wide? Why? When you have KKL on the bench? Im no manager, but it does not make sense to me.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

He will have Hoskins out on the wing today as per his Bristol Rovers days, joining to make a 3 up front if he can forward that far.

Home Bankers

Other matches tonight:

Burnley v Ipswich H

Leicester v Blackpool H
Middlesbrough v West Ham H
Millwall v Doncaster H
Nott'm Forest v Leeds H
Reading v Peterborough H
Southampton v Hull City H

All the games are home bankers. I would predict Hull most likely to spring a surprise.

answer is Barnes still top scorer

 

[Mackenzie]

Still no Buckley......next time we see him he'll be seven feet tall

 

[Bean]

So Buckley's not even on the bench? I thought he was fit?

LuaLua and Noone on the bench but Barnes will start left wing or in midfield, like you, I do not get it.

I'd be surprised if 3 of those came in, hardly home bankers!

 

[chucky1973]

does not answer my question and 4 of his 7 are from the spot. (I am not an anti Barnes player by the way, although he was dreadful against Crawley Reserves last week, truly dreadful)
