**********Thee Unofficial Brighton & Hove Albion v Aston Villa Match day Thread**********

[Change at Barnham]

30107 a good effort for a tv game.

 

[Icy Gull]

No, no we don't. VILLA need to win games like this of they want to be the top 2. We are still 2nd on Monday even if we lose.

Wrong, we need to beat them to keep them to stop them being top two. They have more quality players than us, but we have a head start

 

[Dick Head]

Eh?

I got it.

Villa - like Newcastle a while back - are finding their feet in this division, and will increasingly believe they can walk this league; confidence growing and form blooming. We need to put them in their place.

 

[Change at Barnham]

The commentators saying that the Villa left back cost £9 million. That's a lot of money.

 

[AmexRuislip]

I got it.

I see the light now

 

[brakespear]

Eh?

Sorry, Hinchcliffe mentioned the passage in the game in the time was exciting 'for the neutral' amongst whom the commentary team do not appear to number.

Cheers, having a thicky moment

Didn't they pay the same as we paid for Duffy for their reserve CB too?

 

[Change at Barnham]

We're looking a bit stronger in the second half. We seem to be getting more players forward.

 

[Bodian]

Indeed, but they still look the better / keener team to me.

 

[Simster]

We're looking a bit stronger in the second half. We seem to be getting more players forward.

I agree. But what we're not doing well is dealing with their pressing.

 

[brakespear]

oh dear.

 

[Simster]

Controversial, but I'd be tempted to take off AK, bring on Norwood and have Sidwell sit in front of the back four

 

[brakespear]

good, baldock off for murphy.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Ayew's looking lively for Villa. We seem to have lost the initiative after starting the second half well.
Murphy now on for Baldock which is a positive move.

 

[Bodian]

Strange change - I thought Baldock was doing okay.

 

[GT49er]

oh dear.

What?

 

[sjamesb3466]

I would get Murphy on for Skalak. Oh, Murphy for Baldock. Not sure about that but let's see. We need to get some momentum back as Villa have looked strong the last ten minutes

 

[brakespear]

What?

just some thrashing around in our area, nothing untoward was occasioned eventually
