Scunthorpe United Vs Brighton and Hove Albion - Official Match Thread

[fosters headband]

A midfield selection that is not looking to get forward. Hoping for a breakaway goal and defend at all costs IMHO.

Subs bench that must be the envy of any 1st div club

On the contrary, Livermore was to blame. But that's a bit harsh because Walsall got their tactics right, he's clearly our weak link at left back and they spotted that and picked on him, all 3 goals came from his side of the pitch. That can happen, it's football. But it's a major shame for us, a game we could have won went so wrong.

The team doesn't look great to me, but it looks like it should be solid and we know Davies will run his socks off, which we need on our right hand side. We could spring a result here gents, Swindon got a 3-3 draw there earlier in the season with Simon Cox scoring a hattrick, it's time for Forster to step up!

I completely agree mate re Forster, He has the ability to get us out of this mess. Keep it tight for 75mins and its anybodies game.

Is that Hopper(sp) playin for them today?

Much as though I love Forster, I think Murray is the man to get us out of it. And I'm glad he's not wasted today, it's not as important as the 4 home games and Hereford away.

Yep, Hooper is playing.

I've just sent Jnr off to put on the stripes. We have never lost when he wears them. He's not here to wear them a lot.
OK he's put the shirt on now, we will win.

keep him there until the end of the season then and make him have his bath with it on.....lol

Y'know, I have 5 current Albion shirts hanging on the line in the garden. 3 homes, the sky blue and the beautiful blue and yellow stripey!

I wish they would stop wearing the sky blue shirt! I know we won at Crewe and Swindon wearing it, but Luton, Orient, Walsall.... And it's ugly. We're not Coventry!

Albion: (4-5-1) Andersen; Whing, Heath, Elphick, Borrowdale; Davies, Bangura, Virgo, El-Abd, Cox; Forster. Subs: Owusu, Fraser, Jarrett, Carole, McLeod.

I get the feeling Forster is going to have a difficult afternoon!

 

[Mackenzie]

Only three attacking players in the starting XI, playing for a point?

Surely one point is not enough.

 

[Mackenzie]

Surely one point is not enough.

Better than none though. Scunthorpe murdered us at Withdean, a point here will be considered a result I would think.

 

[Acker79]

I really can't take to Anderson. I don't see as we need him, if we extend his loan period when we have a fit keeper of equal or better qualities I can see it being a scott flinders replay, and that didn't work out for us, did it?

 

[glasfryn]

Sir Norman is back thank God

 

[skipper734]

Bath? He's 12

davies isnt a right winger and its a team game look at the defence crap the team was crap before mcnulty and davies joined so if they go down blame the older players and the commiment from them.

I'd rather either of our keepers over him, but if they haven't been fit then I can understand why he's playing.

Don't like the look of that. Davies shouldn't be included , Virgs + El Abd together.....hhhmmmmm

Prove me wrong pleaseeeee

Chances of conceding first 15 ??

 

[Mackenzie]

To be honest, he should be able to play wherever. I can see us as 4-3-2-1 today, Davies and Cox behind Forster.

 

[Mackenzie]

SCR say we're playing 4-3-3

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

El-Abd will score today.
