[Albion] Team for this coming Wednesday against Wolves

[Springal]

No Webster

 

[Change at Barnham]

A snippet from Andy Naylor at The Athletic:

Brighton & Hove Albion will be without record signing Adam Webster until the Boxing Day visit by Brentford at the earliest.
The central defender, bought from Bristol City for £20 million in August 2019, is making progress in recovering from a calf injury.
The Athletic understands, however, that he isn't expected to feature in Wednesday's home game against Wolves or Saturday's trip to Manchester United.

Haydon Roberts, 19, is on standby for his league debut against Wolves, with Lewis Dunk (knee) and Shane Duffy (suspended) also ruled out.

[Cowfold Seagull]

Sanchez
Veltman
Duffy
Roberts
Cuccarella
Lamptey
Bissouma
Mwepu
March
Trossard
Maupay

I'd be tempted to switch Lamptey over to keep tabs on Traore with Cuccarella behind in a flat back 4 with Roberts coming in for BDB, it somewhat negates Lamptey's obvious talent but there's no reason he shouldn't be able to do a job on him, Wolves will be planning their game on BDB starting due to our injury list so I'd be more than happy if Potter decides to wreck their plans .

You can delete Shane Duffy, he has a one match suspension.

Sanchez
Veltman Roberts Burn
Lamptey Biss Moder Mwepu Cucu
Trossard Maupay
Subs: March, Connolly, Mac, Gross, Steele, Richards, Locadia, Lallana and a reserve centre back

However we all know he will play Gross which is fine as long as there is pace elsewhere in the team. And he may well feel its to much for Roberts in which case it will be a back 4 and March in for Roberts i think.

If BDB plays it will need to be as a centre back, play him wide and Wolves have Traore who will roast him and leave him for dead. So if Burn does play, then Roberts doesn't.

With such an inexperienced side, then either Gross or Lallana just have to be in the starting line up.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we have a few covid cases.

Was slightly taken back by how many players took this weekend off to go into a packed London etc judging by social media, which doesn’t sound overly sensible

This post has (genuinely) aged well…

Bloody hell yeah forgot about Duffy missing a game, I suppose Moder could play CB at a push, it's either him or another U23 player stepping up as cover.

At this rate, what with injuries, suspensions and Covid, if the game goes ahead, we could see quite a few under 23's called up.

I'd particularly like to see Offiah feature at some point.

Could be that at this rate if you take your own boots along you might even get a game yourself at this rate!

Well I said I was going to make my prediction after the press conference so here we go.

The good news is that we know Trossard can play and hopefully Lallana could be on the bench. The bad news is that other than there are some question marks, but lets go with this:

Hans Kraay jr

Baker Lite, Bozza, Titanic, Potter

Reid, crodonilson, Icy Gull, Trossard

Mustafa, bw2

Bench: Swansman, Stat Brother, Lallana, Connolly, Locadia

Damn. Will have to bring in someones grandmother then, I've repeatedly heard that peoples grandmothers would do a better job than Maupay.

This was my thought too - but on reflection, should we, can we? I think I've read somewhere that the various squads do not mix, each in their own bubble. I asumed that this was the reason that the likes of Roberts and Richards weren't drafted in to strengthen the EFL Trophy squads, for example.
Anybody ITK?

I'm available and could play as a false (fake) 9

bw2 as the striker did make me chuckle.
