BBC Sport - Huddersfield v Brighton

Kuszczak listed. But Brezovan plays. Ankergen has not travelled.

Who goes in goal if Brez injured

 

[fleet]

Is anyone replacing brez on the bench or are we starting with 6 subs?

No reserve keeper in bench so 6 subs I guess

 

[clippedgull]

Kuszcak is playing isn't he?

No.

Brez injured.

Calde in goal

Who goes in goal if Brez injured

what time can you get there?

 

[portslade seagull]

Normally when there are so many enforced changes the team seems more resilient ... Cmon you blues

 

[fleet]

My expectations are now forming - bad feeling about this one. Hope I am wrong

 

[El Turi]

I've suddenly become very pessimistic about today's fixture.

The Huddersfield team doesn't look very strong but we are now severely understrength. Still hopeful that we can somehow nick a win.

I am glad Brezovan is playing today. Can't say the same for Painter or Barnes but looks a solid side to me. I expect it was Crofts vs Dicker for the last spot on the bench and Dicker is more reliable I think.

Conversley, I'm glad Barnes is playing but can't say the same for Painter or Brezovan (although I fully expect both to dispel all my doubts )

Lots of negative vibes on this thread. Brez and Painter not expected to perform well. 2-0 Albion it is then.

I've suddenly become very pessimistic about today's fixture.

I started to get nervous when it was announced that Painter was starting, now Kooshack is injured - I have a feeling it's going to be a really bad day.....hope I'm wrong.

 

[WhingForPresident]

We are going to get a tonking today.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Wish I hadn't bet on a Brighton win now. Painter is going to get turned inside out

 

[Dumseagull]

Not feeling that confident now.. would def take a point now

 

[kevtherev]

They are dropping like flys it would seem.

[bhawoddy]

right 10 mins to kick off - Come on Albion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Buckley's Mad Eye]

Come on lads we haven't even kicked off yet. Huddersfield aren't going to get a touch.

SEAGULLS!!!

 

[El Turi]

At least Beckford and Vaughan are injured for them. Both good strikers at this level.

The positives of all these changes is that they will probably be unexpected by Huddersfield. They would have been preparing for other players' weaknesses, and hopefully they won't work. Perhaps they have prepared to be more defensive on their right expecting the marauding Bridge, which will weaken their attack giving Painter an easier time.

The last time Brez came in to replace the first choice keeper we beat Southampton 3-0. Mayb tht effect will play out. Though, I now tend to associate huddersfield with that 7-1 drubbing. I don't know what to expect today.
