[Albion] West Ham United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Dick Head]

Morning [MENTION=15297]Dick Head[/MENTION], wasn't a dig, unaware of above, just my SOH

You are forgiven.

As usual.

Wanker.

Should be a good game but got a bad feeling about the result. These are a good team.

So were Liverpool.
So are we.

 

[The Fifth Column]

Looking forward to taking the positives and learning....

 

[raymondo]

I predict our away fans will be even more amazing than usual this evening, drowning out any home support. There will be many choruses of Graham Potter's Blue n White Army...and when Neal Maupay scores... the roof will come off.

Getting a point on Saturday wasn't such a great result.

Getting one tonight would be a great result.

Funny old game, football.

And a pitch invasion if Locadia scores

 

[Codner's Wallop]

I feel it’s time Dunk thundered in a header - just got 40/1 on Dunk first scorer.

Wait for it….also Locadia is 11-1 to score first….ahem…

Are. You. Serious. ?.

The pitch would be ripped up, packed into the fan coaches, and re-laid in Lancing

Those Locadia odds are a joke, surely? He is very unlikely to start. If he does play, it'll be off the bench and likely for the last ten minutes - and even then only if we are chasing a goal (meaning there has already been a goalscorer).

Add to that Locadia's general shitness, how poor he looked on Saturday and the quality of the opposition and I can't believe they have the nerve to offer 11's.

Realistically, I'd want 50-1 or better to even be tempted with a fiver.

Let's wait and see which Albion gets the point!

 

[origigull]

Interesting one.

I believe the past few weeks have sadly exposed Potter’s tactical frailties in unlocking teams who play a tighter, more defensive system - or who simply are desperate for a point. I’m not sure, despite some cracking talent in our team, this will ever really change.

On the flip side, this kind of fixture plays to Potter’s tactical strengths - away from home against a busy, confident team who will be expected to play on the front foot and attack with purpose.

There will be spaces for Albion to exploit.

I am predicting a narrow, shock win..,,

Hey! Less of the 'shock' please.

About standard odds for a 'second striker' on the bench aren't they? Just wish he was one..........[emoji45]

Also not unreasonable to think it'll be 0-0 after 80 mins if and when he shuffles into 'action'.

 

[METALMICKY]

And will people stick to their word about going on the pitch? Chris O'Grady scored at Brentford I seem to recall and nobody moved

For those with Amazon Prime (one month free trial is a popular choice this time of year!) there's a three and a half minute match preview with Clinton Morrison and Gus Poyet in a taxi discussing the two teams. Worth a watch. Amazon Prime WHU v BHA preview

Also, hopefully, an ironic chant of 'we're not booing anymore'.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Boo-urns

 

[7:18]

Lamptey as the false 9...

 

[stewart_weir]

This is the strongest West Ham for quite sometime. A draw would be a great result (together with zero booing)
