***Brighton &and& Hove Albion vs. Swindon Town - Official Match Thread***

[Vankleek Hill Seagull]

Right, as I'm up late after getting back from a heavy metal concert, I thought I'd kick off my Saturday by starting the official match thread a little earlier than normal.

Danny Wilson returns to the Withdean bringing his Swindon Town team along for the ride. Can the Albion make it two home wins in a row or will the former well liked Albion player (135 appearances, 33 goals) bugger things up for Gus and crew?

Let's hear it from you, the fans (who aren't at the game) about what you think of the game before, during and after. As usual, controversy will reign if we lose, pride and joy if we win, and the obligatory miserable bastard posts from Withdean Wanderer, whatever happens.

Can Albion make it two home wins in a row ? YES WE CAN !!! Gus and crew simply fantastico

I think this will be a very interesting game, clearly Gus has the team playing a lot closer to how he wants now and success breeds confidence as we all know. However, Swindon are a tough side, in the top 6 now, and who also have a good manager. Plus they are looking to bounce back from a brief blip in their otherwise excellent recent form.
They have only lost 6league games all season and their away record is just 1 win and 1 draw worse than ours so that coupled with our crappy Withdean home form hoodoo makes this a potential speedbump of a game in our current late season rennaisance...

Going to be a good'un. Havn't Swindon got a bit of a hoo-doo at Withdean? They never win?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Woke up to a flurry of texts and missed calls from my mate explaining that some ****'s nicked his wallet, which had our tickets in it. They were comps as well. This is gonna be a fun trip down to Queen's Road.

On reflection cannot disagree with your analysis - spot on

One thing Swindon do not have that we do though - splendid super supporters :albion1:

Like the last time they played here - 3-2 to them!!

 

[Mendoza]

Our defence has been so good for so long, looking solid and only conceeding one comedy goal (Charlton away) so I have a horrible feeling this will change today and we will look shit house at the back

However, today is the day Glenn scores at home and Holroyd and Kazenga will come good

3-2 Brighton

 

[vulture]

[les dynam]

entertaining 2.2 draw. swindon are good team, can't see them losing 3 (or 4, not sure which) in a row. plus danny w's back and that's always nice, proper albion legend.
