I think El Abd is Ill rather than dropped

Though I might be wrong.

I saw him after the game in his posh car. Didn't speak to him but he didn't look ill

Aren't you a reporter? Could probably work for The Argus with quality stories like this.

What I hear is he was pretty shit against Blackpool. So probably dropped because of that.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I saw on Twitter that he'd had a virus.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Either way Dunk stepped up to the mark

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Whether he wasn't feeling very well, or was dropped for a bad game, the fact we had Lewis Dunk to step in and look as if he's been playing for 10 years is just glorious.

Virus, according to my nephew who was trying to ponce tickets off him for tonight (they're friends).

 

[LamieRobertson]

It didn't matter against a poor team like Derby, especially when we played so well, but in a tough match I think Dunk could let us down whereas El Abd is a ROCK.

Hmmmm

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear.

Do you wonder why you bother?

Told the same thing ( about AEA, not your family poncing tickets, that is ).

 

[GT49er]

Could this just be - dare I say it as a Brighton supporter of over fifty years? - squad rotation? What's the next match? - does Gus think we'll need a rested El Abd for that? Forest away - probably not, although on tonight's form they might be more of a threat than we think...then Middlesborough...............................

Fcuking hell i agree with you

 

[Silent Bob]

If he was fit he'd have been on the bench.

Thought Dunk did well again tonight. Did anyone else see him in the first half try to tackle with his head. He was laying on the floor after a scramble and the Derby player had a clear shooting chance. Dunk dived forward and tried to tackle with his head. Incredible commitment. Big round of applause from the north stand after he finally got up.

perhaps, although the romain god is a PERFECT defensive substitute in my view

I've had flu for 10 days and there is definitely a virus doing the rounds right now, so not out of the realms of possibility.
