So I take it we've gone 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 when defending with Barnes dropping back.

We shouldn't have let him go, he is a CB who scores goals.

Can't remember the last time he scored for us and he was second choice in league 1 let alone Championship?

 

[brightn'ove]

Come on Albion, if we improve our away form this season we could really be up there.

 

[RexCathedra]

Do you try to put it out of reach right from the get-go? Or is draw-away-and-win-at-home still the law in these parts?

 

[Mutts Nuts]

1 nil up happy with a point from this and then give it to Wednesday on Friday.

eh?

 

[seagurn]

Derby 3-0 up!

You mean Udinesse loosing 3-0 lol

 

[TSB]

It's the stuff of dreams, etc..

That signature of yours TSB......bit strong innit...

I was angry last night. Good call - I'll tone it down.

 

[Ur_havin_a_Laugh]

Don't get too carried away..

As long as he stays fit.

 

[severnside gull]

very disjointed half - the morons in their crowd don't exactly lift their team let alone the atmosphere

 

[maltaseagull]

61% to us according to BBC 7 shots at goal 3 on target (thats more than most away games last season

Need another goal though.

No Premier club beginning with the letter B

So I take it we've gone 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 when defending with Barnes dropping back.

I am beginning to agree with others that Barnes is now an out and out midfielder. Good to see Bridcutt taking the free kicks and Greer getting forward. The radio has not mentioned Dicker.

 

[Mackenzie]

Worrying about Crofts.....we might actually need Hammond.

 

[brighton_tom]

You mean Udinesse loosing 3-0 lol

Very true.

 

[DTES]

The radio has not mentioned Dicker.

You're the second person to say that. He set the goal up!

 

[TSB]

The radio has not mentioned Dicker.

Yes it has. He plays the sort of role where no mention is a good thing, anyway. Simple football. Have barely heard Bridcutt mentioned either, except for free kicks: another good sign.

 

[Captain Sensible]

If Burnely start pushing up, KLL and Buckley can rip them apart. need to keep it solid for the first 20min of this 2nd half.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

come on you super seagulls

 

[JBizzleBeard]

From Burnley message board:

'Commentator says that Brighton puffs are spoiling the game...they are keep the ball and not letting us have a go!'

'what a horrible person Gus Poyet (i hope thats how you spell his name) is.'

'Puff injured. Poyetpuff throws wobbly.
Injured player to be subbed.'

'Puffs don't let you pass...they chop you down.'

etc etc

Imagine that's the jist of what Gus has been saying.
