Blackburn Rovers FC v Brighton and Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread***

[glasfryn]

David burn sings one of my favourite songs hope it is not prophetic though

 

[Bold Seagull]

Would have thought Barnes will start up front, with Vicente dropping in behind and Orlandi playing wide one side with Spanish Dave the other. Happy with that line up!

 

[Mackenzie]

Thought CMS did a sterling job of defending from the front at Brum, we'll lose that with Vicente.......that said VICENTE is playing.

I do find it strange playing Vicente up front. Would like to see Barnes up front and see Vicente play on the left cutting in.

Vicente and Barnes work very well together.

How do you know Barnes isnt upfront?!

On the other hand, much as I love him, CMS has been a weak link in recent games. Frequently giving away possession at the moment, can't see Vicente doing that too easily, although yes he will certainly run less than CMS.

Judging by the number of Albion fans in the "away supporters pub" I would not expect a massive turnout.

Shame no Ulloa but Vicente starting is a bonus

 

[Bold Seagull]

Yep, and Barnes played well on Saturday and is clearly bang in form.

I don't, it was an assumption, whenever we have played with this team he has gone up top on his own.

I hope I am wrong, want to see him in behind Barnes really.

don't care if he stands on the same spot all night as long as he scores some
and we win

 

[Weretheweststand]

I think Vicente will be on the Left Wing, Spanish Dave on the Right Wing and Barnes in the middle.

 

[stss30]

Same formation that we used to beat Chelsea but also lost to Swindon. Who knows?!

 

[Max Paper]

Naylor tweeted it although I assume that's his opinion not fact

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Evening all.... Ulloa not in so my night is ruined.....


but we have the second coming (or third or fourth...) of the Dagger so who knows? Let's get it on!

Impossible to tackle, the bloke is a genius.

Crofts?

What's the story on Leo anyone? Debut Vs Arsenal ain't bad!
