[Albion] RDZ press conference v Sheffield United

[Bozza]

- Current injuries are a "terrible situation"
- Dunk, Estupinan and Milner all expected to be out
- Lamptey also expected to be missing
- "It's one of the most important games of the season, like a final"
- "It will be...tougher than [Ajax]"
- "Sheffield are a good team, they won for the first time last week. To win we need quality"
- "On Sunday we need [the fans'] support to win the game."
- "If we win on Sunday we can reach a different level...in mentality".

 

[Simster]

I think he's actually right about it being a very important game. We need to win a few of these or we'll end up sliding down the table.

Betfair have us 1.27 to win. If I was a neutral, I'd lay Albion at that price with the injuries and just 2.5 days rest since Ajax.

 

[Giraffe]

Yep definitely a test of whether we are “coping” with Europa League v League or not.

 

[Brok]

We'll be fine, don't worry.

 

[Sheebo]

Gross or Igor left back then…? Dunk a huge miss. Gonna be hard & think we’ll need a two goal cushion if we’re gonna win this and concentration needs to be huge…

 

[Farehamseagull]

So all summer we went on about needing to sign right and left backs. Maybe as fans we were right for a change!

We’ve left ourselves unnecessarily short in those areas and it seemed so predictable with Lamptey’s injury history.

Bruv, I get into Luton at midnight, home at 3am and back on the road to Brighton at 9am, please do not rely on me.

 

[London Irish]

I think we were all expecting those three or four to be out - we'll be fine if he doesn't get hung up on mechanistic rotation - play the players who did well in Amsterdam and they can rest plenty afterwards

 

[Jeremiah]

What did he say about Pedro ?

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Looks like he has had 3 hours sleep. Like the rest of us!

 

[Reddleman]

He said he’s never asked for anything but needs the fans on Sunday. I really hope we can give him that. Make it as hostile as possible. One big push then we have the break to try and get a couple back fit.

Maybe the club tried to sign a very highly rated Argentinian but couldn't get the deal done as he wanted to win the Copa Libertadores?

Let's see what January brings.

RDZs English has jumped to a higher level

Ferguson hat trick to celebrate his new contract, as we show we can win in Europe and in the PL in back to back games.
