Northampton v Brighton thread

[Dirty Dave]

Any team news yet? Am expecting Thornton to go straight in to midfield, will be interesting to see how he does. Nicky Forster, is he back in contention?

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Hurrah I was waiting for this thread!

Boo!!!!!! No team news yet

[Uncle C]

Nice to see SW is working well.

Does anyone have an e mail address for Hawsey. I need to write him a note about the BBC.

Er, I presume Thomson must be injured?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

No Thomson

01 Kuipers
02 Whing - 24 Elphick - 16 Hawkins - 12 Richards
22 Fraser - 06 El-Abd - 14 Livermore - 28 Anyinsah
23 Virgo - 17 Murray

Looks like 4-5-1 has been abandoned and the new loanee not starting

 

[Halcyon]

According to the Argus website Thomson's out with flu, loft drops to the bench. Anyinsah and the Hawk back in. Virgo captain:

Is Thomson injured?

 

[Dizzle.]

Cox on the bench and anyinsah starts

 

[Trigger]

No Robinson at all

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Just hypothetical if everyone was fit, this lot look a bit tasty:

01 Kuipers
02 Whing - 24 Elphick - 16 Hawkins - 12 Richards
28 Anyinsah - 22 Virgo - 06 Thomson - 14 Livermore - 17 Murray
23 Forster

Not happy with this team at all.... I really hope it works.

It's a very defensive starting line up.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Kuipers

Whing, Elphick, Virgo, Richards

Anyinsah, Livermore, Thomson, Mcleod

Forster, Murray

would be the 11 i'd go for if all fit at the moment

with a bench of

hawkins, loft, cox, thornton, fraser/el abd

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

It's a very defensive starting line up.

Yes I see that but absolutely no creativity in the middle and Virgo up front means a long ball approach which I think will be easy for a Northampton team full of height. Doesnt seem well-thought out to me,

I'd agree with that.

 

[Halcyon]

I don't think its too bad a line up - at the end of the city game, thats pretty much how we were and Virgo linked up pretty well with Murray. Fingers crossed!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I'd agree with that.

How did I forget McLeod!!!!

 

[The Large One]

Not happy with this team at all.... I really hope it works.

It did on Wednesday.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

It did on Wednesday.

different tactic wasn't it.... we didn't play 4-4-2 did we?
