**** Leyton Orient FC v Brighton and Hove Albion FC - Official Match Thread ****

[upthealbion1970]

4-0 Brighton

 

[Pantani]

I wonder if they will have Russell Crowe playing tonight in place of the ex-Seagull Whing?

Either way, Bennett will terrorise them on the way to a squeeky bum 2-1 win

Hope so he really seems to have piled on the pounds, Noone will run rings round him.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Good luck boys and girls, I have to go to bed but will be up around the time of the final whistle to take my daughter to school. here's hoping for 3 points

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Current habit is to score at around 20 minutes. If we do so, we'll win.

Gus being very cagey on the radio about formation when asked if he'll play three up front again. Even though it's away he is bound to change the team and extremely unlikely to play three up front. Could be something like:

Caspar
Calde - El Abd - Greer - Painter
Bennett - Bridcutt - Sparrow - Noone
Wood - Murray

although he may not start with Noone away from home - might have Dicker in there. Could even start with Barnes in midfield, though I doubt it.

 

[Simster]

I reckon Noone will come on midway through the second half. Wood and Muzza up top, not so confident about the midfield, as he may or may not leave out Bennett, and bring in Kish for a bit of GUILE.

 

[hitony]

We have not been told where the Ref and linos come from ....WE ARE DOOMED I'M TELLING YOU!!!!!!!!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I think Bennett will continue to be benched for being a naught boy.

Ankergren
Calde Greer Abd Painter
Noone Bridcutt Sparrow Barnes
Murray Wood

After extensive research I have now sorted out where the officials are from

Think Kish got injured in the Col U game. Shame - he's a brilliant player and perfect if we need to bring some control to midfield and keep hold of the ball.

Is it a secret?

Edit: Aah, I see what you've done there. Thanks!

 

[casbom]

It's the type of game where traditionally, we would lose.
Orient are one of the in-form teams in the league so they will be very confident, especially after the last few results.
Add the fact we whipped them not long ago and they will want revenge.
It all adds up to a slippery banana skin....however Gus' team is made of stern stuff...so I predict a score draw or a last minute winner ala Exeter!

 

[Spun Cuppa]

C'MON the super blues!!

Them: none

Us: more than two

 

[strings]

Any pictures of the kit yet?

This has got to be the most successful non-kit launch ever - normally we've seen pictures of new kits weeks before the club reveal them!

 

[olliwarne]

4-2 to the albion tonight. i have a feeling.

 

[perseus]

Biggest club in Leyton on the night!

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Very tough game 'Os have 1 defeat in 15 (against us) and are unbeaten at home since September.

1-1

 

[SockMonster]

Draw or narrow win for us. Tough game I think.

 

[Nottseagull]

Can someone tell me what is wrong with the current thread title? It's got FC in team names, appropriately...

If "FC" isn't even included in the new crest that you obviously admire, why on Earth should it appear in a thread title?

 

[perseus]

Slade's (Albion signings) midfield would be Bennett, Navarro, Dicker, if I have got this right

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Benno will be unleashing hell regardless of who is marking him.
