[Albion] Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Originunknown]

Let's hope it doesn't take us going a goal down to get the bit between our teeth tonight.

Expecting a much tougher test than on the weekend.

Feel quietly confident. At the weekend and before the break they were overall not playing as well as they were earlier in the season. Plus they’re very reliant on Vardy and he’s now over 33 and relies massively on physicality so I wonder how the break will have affected him.

I also think that win on Saturday will prove to be a massive turning point for us in our progress under Potter. Our lack of wins, defensive lapses and missed chances earlier this year was basically a mental thing and I think the manner of that win will have a hugely positive impact on that side of things.

Fancy us to nick this 1.0 or 2.1.

This round of matches could well see a couple of teams below us gain a bit of ground.

I can't see anything other than 3 points for Watford vs Burnley, for example.

So, when the table doesn't look quite so good going into the weekend we'll still need to 'hold the nerve'.

I'd love a point tonight.

Does anyone actually still think Watford will go down? I’m fairly certain they’ll be safe. They’ve got a bit of momentum, too many good players and a manager who knows what to do in this situation. It’s the others we need to pay closer attention to and like us, Villa and Bournemouth have a tough run in.

The Arsenal game was a good prep for this. Leicester are obviously a big step up from Arsenal but I think we can cause them a few problems. I’d love to see MacAllister given more time today.

Trossard looked off the pace a tad on Saturday, start Solly

Watford have the easiest fixtures off all the bottomed teams. No chance they are going down. We need to worry if Bournemouth and Villa start winning.

Who’s Leicester’s most famous supporter though?

Do these threads come late on match day or a few days before, I haven’t done my home work but have needs

It came out today that Coleen Rooney is suing his wife for libel, might put him off his game 5% or so.

Edit: his wife is suing Rooney actually

Albion at 19/4 for the win tonight.

Albion win and BTTS 10/1 on PaddyPower. I reckon if we're going to win, that's how we'll have to do it. Not that I'll be betting on it though.

 

[Barham's tash]

Ali J masterclass incoming because he should have signed for them instead of us. That’s how this works right?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Are we planning on taking out Casper early on, you know the standard perception of our tactics in North London?

A loss against Arsenal would have made this a highly pressurised game but for me, we’ve already got the points from three hypothetical good draws (such as those at Sheff Utd & Wolves) against Arsenal, Leicester and Man Utd already.

So all to play for.

Yep, feels like a free hit..........I sense a good result.

Very strange - really messing with my normal work day routine!

RE:Team News

I’m gonna for 6 (six) changes. With Greyhound, Maupay, Biß, Groß, Troß & Pröpper missing out.

Think we’ll definitely see Stephens, Ali-J & Bernardo starting.

Good to see you've got your Eszetts and Umlauts out early doors.

 

[Guinness Boy]

We're loose, by the way.

Potter's more confident of a result than I am if he's only planning to start 8.

'We've got this lads, let's give them a bit of a headstart'. Like the thinking.

I agree.
