Teams announced for Bognor & Burgess Hill

[clippedgull]

Albion v Bognor: Sullivan, Whing, Nicky Nicolau, Elphick, Lynch, Cox, Ash Robinson, Livermore, McLeod, Forster, Dixon. Subs: Chamberlain, Pearson, Gargan, Wills, Royce, Louis.

Albion v Burgess Hill: Sullivan, El-Abd, Virgo, Hawkins, Mayo, Hart, Thomson, Fraser, Robinson, Murray, Gatting. Subs: Chamberlain, Pearson, Gargan, Wills, Royce, Louis.



Albion are in friendly action tonight and tomorrow as they visit Bognor Regis Town (7.45pm) and Burgess Hill Town (7.15pm) respectively.

Micky Adams will field a separate team for each match, giving his players the chance to enjoy 90 minutes of match action.

However, Michel Kuipers is ruled out of the two games with a thigh strain, and so John Sullivan has a golden chance to impress between the sticks.

Adams told seagulls.co.uk, "It's nothing major, but we're going to leave Michel out of these games as a precaution."

Nicolau was the southend left back a few seasons back, and has since been with Barnet I believe, and Ashley robinson is a palace player I thought!

Nicky Nicolau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nicky George Nicolau (born 12 October 1983 in Camden Town, London) is an English professional footballer who is without a club. He started his career with Arsenal, winning the FA Youth Cup in 2001, but never broke into the first team.

He joined Southend United on loan in March 2004, and made the move permanent that summer. In the 2004-05 season, he helped Southend reach a second consecutive Football League Trophy final, and win promotion from League 2 via the playoffs. However a falling out with Southend manager Steve Tilson saw him axed from the team[citation needed].

He moved to Swindon in summer 2005. He had a loan spell at Hereford United where he made 11 appearances, scoring 1 goal and was released by Swindon Town at the end of the 2005-06 season.

He spent the following season at Barnet, and was released by the club after one season, before manager Paul Fairclough changed his mind and decided to offer Nicolau a new contract. He left the club at the end of the 2007-08 season after turning down a new contract.
