Warnock expecting tough game

Blatantly ripped from the Sheff Utd website, their team news at the bottom:

Warnock:
"We have no divine right to win the game," says Neil Warnock ahead of Saturday's Championship clash with Brighton.

The Blades boss is expecting a very different fixture from the 3-1 FA Cup victory over Aston Villa last weekend.

"Brighton will be difficult to beat, they have been winning 1-0 away from home and I saw them win quite comfortably at Leicester," said Warnock.

"They seem to be getting results on the road when they don't have to entertain anyone. This is the start of four or five difficult games on the trot for us."

Saturday is designated a Blades Day and entry for the game us just £10 for adults and £5 for concessions. Tickets are available at the Box Office or on the turnstiles.

"The players and the fans will have to be patient and it may just take one goal but they all count and if that is enough to pick up three points then so be it," added Warnock.

"It is all about the points we collect over the next 18 games and I'm counting on the fans to help us in a tough-looking fixture against Brighton."

Team News:
Diminutive Derek Geary is Neil Warnock's only doubt for the tough visit of Brighton in Saturday's Blades Day game.

Tickets for the vital Coca Cola Championship clash are just £10 (adults) and £5 (concessions) in all areas of Bramall Lane and can be purchased at the turnstiles.

Full-back Geary has been suffering with a thigh problem this week after sliding in to keep out Aston Villa's Mark Delaney in the FA Cup clash. He was withdrawn at half-time.

Should Geary be unable to continue in the starting line-up, Warnock could recall club captain Chris Morgan or bring in the fit-again Simon Francis.

Morgan sat out last week's cup game after picking up five bookings, whilst Francis would have been on the bench against Villa had he not collected a slight thigh strain.

The versatile defender, who has been hampered by injury problems this season, is now fit and available for selection.

"I've not made up my mind what I am going to do yet," confirmed Warnock in his pre-match press call.

Brighton boss Mark McGhee could name an unchanged side after his Seagulls performed admirably at Tottenham last weekend.

From the moment Virgs goal went in we coasted it, no worries not so ever

Blimey - is what we get at Withdean ? Entertainment ??

Thinking about, I guess if...

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots -
An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth -
Paint spattered walls and the cry of a tomcat -
Lights going out and a kick in the balls -

is classed as 'entertainment' then watching footie at Withdean probably qualifies too.

In other words: We should be beating this little tin-pot outfit from the south.

Why did we forgot to put in the deal when we flogged Cullip, that he could not play in this game?


There's a few things about this deal i'm not happy about.

to prove that we can move on without him....hence our decent run recently as a prime example! I only buy into all the "dont play against us in the first game" if its right after the transfer or theres abit of "history" or something.

It just seems short sighted on our part. If there is anything that can help us achieve a result then we should be using it too our advantage and if it means their defence is weakened then all well and good.

Few chants of Brighton Reject?

There speaks a man who managed to get a team into the Premiership by cynical game spoiling professionalism, although Albion fans seem to have forgiven him since his Notts County days.

Not worried about Cullip, if anyone knows his weaknesses it's us, and I expect our lads to exploit them to the full.

I can see Virgo making him look very crap tomorrow - more pace and will beat him the air.
