Gruda hasn’t impressed at all , still yet to see what he has to offer , does not Seem to have that much pace , hasn’t gone passed anyone , crossing not great , doesn’t look like he is going to score many goals
I can’t be arsed to check further, but Kluivert played for the Dutch tonight, as did Zabarnyi for Ukraine. And I watched Unal come on for Turkey against Wales.
Yer kluivert came out of nowhere for that one. Unal is not really a starter. But 2 is better than none.
True, needs careful management and a lot of preparation. Need to lube up defences before bringing him into play.
It would be nice and last season was disastrous. . But to be fair we had a good result there only 18 months ago.
Me too but hey. It can't be worse than last season.
I am less worried than I was last season when a crushing defeat felt inevitable beforehand.
Oh it can, thanks for that....
I like it but are Pedro & O'Riley ready to start yet?
Pretty sure the answer is yes and yes. They looked on it against City and there's been two weeks since then. Neither suffered long-term serious injuries. I like that team too but I'd have Rutter on the right and Joao Pedro as support striker.
I googled “Brighton results 2023/4 season” and the top answer gives a selection of 3 results but if you click the down arrow “see more” you get every result summarised for previous seasons, with a highlights video, lineups, match stats etc.
Pedro was training yesterday at Lancing (in the club photos), O Riley was called up late for Denmark but was unused sub in their Monday match.
That starting line up looks alien compared to what will start at the weekend. Were they league debuts for Offiah and Mahony?
First starts I think, pretty sure both came on against City a few days before and Offiah had certainly played a few times earlier in the season (whether that was in the PL, I can't recall).
