vs



Football League Championship

London Road

Kick off:- 7.45 P.M

Match Officials:-
Referee:- ROBERT MADLEY
Adam Crysell and Declan Ford
Fourth Official Guy Stretton

Will the Albion kick on from their fine win at Middlesbrough (spelling
And will we continue our fine record at London Road?
Will the cyclone start scoring again tonight, but who cares as long as the Spanish contingent keep knocking them in.
Will Peterborough continue their great recent run and move further away from the danger zone?
As allways seems the case at London road I predict a 3-2 goal storm with the cyclone knocking in a brace and Orlandi with the other..

Beautifllu executed thread. Blood pressure restored to acceptable level.

Beautiful, even.

 

[skipper734]

Well done Rowley. You had better get on with your work now, rushing in and doing the thread title first thing, must have impressed.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Fully confident now! 2-1. Ulloa x 2

 

[Mackenzie]

Dwight Gayle is their dangerman, another one of the Zaha diving school. Hopefully we'll keep our discipline and thrash a few past their porous defence.

Fingers crossed, but this won't be easy.

3-3.

I did have to hide in the Kharzi while constructing part of it :-D

If we win, you'll have to be hiding in the 'lucky khazi' from here on in

 

[chucky1973]

Not going to be easy, they will be full of confidence going into this and have a lot to play for. We need to keep shape, play with tempo, and more importantly keep disapline. need 11 men on the pitch and with our quality and luck at London Road, I think we can shade this 2-1.

Safe journey to all making the trip, I salute you all

 

[upthealbion1970]

Just decided to go tonight, 3 spaces in my car to fill. Pm me to pick up newhaven, Brighton or anywhere along the way

 

[grawhite]

Going for a 3-1 win to Brighton, Ulloa x3

 

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

Now safely ensconced on my tea break here are the stats for tonight's ref Paul Madley. Has officiated 31 games this season, showing 82 yellows and 4 reds. Took our 1-1 draw vs Blackburn up at Ewood. Booked 6 including our Buckley, Barnes and Bridcutt and awarded us the 97th min pen that Lopez dispatched.

Head-to-head
• Brighton are chasing a sixth successive victory over Peterborough.
• A 3-1 triumph at third league level in August 1995 was Peterborough's most recent home win over the Seagulls; they have picked up three points from a possible 24 at London Road against these opponents subsequently.
• Posh have scored just two goals in five league meetings against the Sussex club.
Peterborough
• Peterborough are on the longest current unbeaten streak in the Championship of nine games (W4, D5), yet find themselves just one place and one point above the relegation zone with four to play.
• No club has lost more home games in this division than the 10 of Posh, and they've only managed two clean sheets at London Road.
• This match pits the clubs with the smallest and largest average gates in the division; Peterborough average 7,915 while Brighton get 25,949.
• The Cambridgeshire club still have a significant home fixture against Sheffield Wednesday, sandwiched between trips to Derby and Crystal Palace.
Brighton
• Fifth-placed Brighton are on a five-match run without defeat (W2, D3), and are two points better off than fellow play-off challengers Nottingham Forest, who are in seventh.
• The Seagulls have drawn an unequalled 17 of their 42 league games, and are the only club with as few as nine defeats in this division, with the exception of leaders Cardiff, who've also lost nine.
• Gus Poyet has not seen his side lose a league game from a winning position this season, but neither has he witnessed them winning one from a losing predicament.
• The Amex Stadium is still to host Blackpool and Wolves, either side of Brighton's trip to Leeds.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Worrtied about Ulloa being knackered... thid might be one game too many.... but the last 15 mins of Peterboros last game gives grounds for optimism.
