We hardly ever start with a 4-4-2 and only break it out if we need to shake things up.

What system do you play? I can't work it from just the highlights. Teams hardly ever change to the defensive 4-4-2. That's the formation they start with and only change if they need a goal taking one out of midfield and brining on an extra striker or winger.

Agreed. Nice as it is, all this copy and pasted stuff is a bit redundant.

They seem to expect an easy win, with a few thinking it will be a score draw.

I will be over the moon if we get a draw today, I'm afraid - though we've ended longer unbeaten home runs than this before (Forest, 1980). Long shot, though!

No team yet? C'mon... getting excited! What's even better is that I'm at work, but it's so quiet that I'm literally getting paid to sit and watch live streaming football all day - Norwich/Arsenal now, Southampton/Brighton at 3pm and then Swansea/Man Utd at 5.30pm and finish work at 7pm. Brilliant.

Albion: Harper; Taricco, Greer, Dunk, Painter; Bridcutt, Navarro, Sparrow; Noone, Paynter, Mackail-Smith. #bhafc

 

[Working class pride]

Hope we keep the ball, keep the ball and keep the ball some more and let them chase the game

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Paynter and CMS up front, Lua Lua on the bench for a late burst and Tano in for Calde to keep it safe at the back.

Come on Seagulls lets do it...

 

[Peter Grummit]

Saints team?

 

[Aseros]

Why isn't Murray playing? Injured?

[chucky1973]

No Vicente, I honestly dont think we will see him in a Brighton shirt again

Of course he will. He needs to. The whole idea he came to us was to "advertise" to other teams he still has it. He'll be back.

Looks like a 4-4-2 that can be switched to 4-3-3 without a change of players. I tipped Navarro to return and Taricco at RB, but not Sparrow. What colours are we playing in?

If we get any corners, Noone to take them. Who will take our penalty?

Where is Buckley?

 

[kevtherev]

Don't like Bridcutt and Navarro in the same side, does not work for me, yes we beat Barnsley but this is a different kettle of fish. Far to defencive and asking for trouble. We will see I suppose.

 

[brunswick]

far too defensive.....and where is calderon

 

[chucky1973]

Of course he will. He needs to. The whole idea he came to us was to "advertise" to other teams he still has it. He'll be back.

Dont agree, he has "been nearly fit" for the last 5 weeks, there is moe to this than meets the eye. You wait till tomorrow, Gus will say that Vicente is almost there and hopeful for next week, then all week he will be doing well and then we will arrive at the Amex next week and he wont be in the squad.
