West Ham United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

why no wingers

 

[brightonmark1234]

wrong team for me and defeat looming for me

 

[The Rivet]

My team choice today would be

------Brez-----
Calde -- El-Abd -- Greer -- Mattock

Bridcutt -- Navaro

Vicente
Buckley Lua Lua

CMS

 

[Mackenzie]

Looks like a distinct lack of pace in the midfield today. I guess with the passing game its movement rather than pace that counts. Looks like a case of brains over speed, I'm hoping we'll pass them to death!

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

Maybe Gus is thinking Vicente and Assulin can get at their supposedly dodgy full backs?

 

[Hiney]

Wingers mean fewer bodies in midfield. West ham out-muscled us in the middle of the park at The Amex so I suppose Gus is looking to put more bodies in there.

Assulin can go wide if necessary.

 

[El Turi]

Team confirmed:

Brez

Calderon
El-Abd
Greer

Bridcutt
Navarro

Oh great, the wonky formation is back

3-0 defeat for us today.

BBBW thread title, I feel a 1-0 Albion coming on.

[Rugrat]

Horrid ... so disappointed (we'll win now!!)

 

[Marxo]

Is that line-up true? Noone is supposed to be unavailable, no Vokes or Buckley anywhere? I'm missing something obviously.

 

[GreersElbow]

I think we manage to win this even without width. We do have the option to bring on some wider players, however, I think we may pull off a smash and grab within the last minutes of the game. Why isn't Buckley atleast on the bench, there's an article on seagulls.co.uk with him talking about how he's fully fit..

 

[stss30]

This line up is dodgy, like Burnley, we'll lose.

 

[brightn'ove]

for f*** sake..

thats a loss then.

what is the point in setting up defensively at this point in the season? we arent going to get relegated so we may as well go out, and all out attack. if we lose after hammering a team who can complain, at least we tried.

poor selection. no lualua starting WTF.

3 attacking players....

 

[El Turi]

With that line-up, I think we are inviting pressure and will be under the cosh for long periods. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

 

[brightonmark1234]

why haven't we gone with 2 wingers

 

[Rugrat]

why haven't we gone with 2 wingers

any (established) wingers even?

 

[kevtherev]

Words fail me, Poyet never f***ing learns. Season finishes today for us. Totally unbelievable team selection.
