****Brighton and Hove Albion vs West Ham Official match thread ****

[Colossal Squid]

I'm enjoying a pie and a pint in the west stand upper and have to say I'm quietly confident right now. Harper has always been a very decent keeper and if he can impress with a clean sheet tonight we've got a very good chance. Looking forward to seeing this Chilean fellow who is rumoured to be starting in midfield. I reckon we're due a win and it would be great to see our sexy football beat Big Sam's ugly game.

2-0 Albion, Calde and Hoskins to score

Its the future of English football against hoofing old west ham who want to take English football back to smacking it up to the big bloke up front. We have to win tonight for the good of English football. Clubs that hire hoofing managers destroy England's chances to win the world cup.The Peter Beales should be ashamed of themselves

I'm usually 1 to piss on peoples fireworks but im feeling really confident about tonight.

 

[the right footed denilson]

Something is up with Calde. He has been poor of late, but no worse than anyone else, and priority should be replacing Painter and finding a destructive midfielder ahead of dropping him. So a guy comes in who has been poor by all accounts at RB but good in CM and replaces him. Makes no sense at all.
And please don't let Barnes be playing on the wing.
ps Poyet is a hero, but i don't think he knows who his best team is. And that's a bit of a worry.
Still, confident about tonight. 2-1.

 

[Driver8]

Harley but no Lua Lua. Hmmmmm.

That is so not the team I was hoping for. Bad feeling.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Have Newcastle loaned us Harper because they want to flog us LuaLua in January ?

 

[OSRGull]

Suppose Calderon being dropped might be something to do with a tactical change in the second half moving Reyes to left back and putting Calderon at RB?

Too complicated, Noooooooooooooooooone, Calderone is just dropped. Playing badly.

Painter was lucky to be on the pitch against Millwall, he gave away way too many fouls.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Calde is on the bench , if Gus had thought he hasn't been playing well lately then Vincelot would be on the bench instead.

Yes, that is also true
