[Albion] Southampton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***
- Thread starter Dick Head
- Start date
I think they will low block. Martin was sacked and is jogging around Preston Park now. It’s by far the most effective tactic against us and unlike the vast majority of their matches this seasons (except their Amex draw perhaps), they won’t be giving away any easy goals.
This is not like facing a Big Six at the Amex (W4 D1). In these games against bottom teams, we get blocked out, we miss chances and we lose morale and momentum through utter frustration. We give away horrific goals and face very poor refereeing decisions.
I genuinely believe we have a better chance away at Man City where we won’t face the low-block.
I do believe this post leans into a Trump like nature. Make-believe.
We do this in America for some very important games where fans gather in the home stadium and watch an away match on a big screen.

no welbeck or veltman is pretty terminal for our chances of getting a result here

I just got home from a night out.
Going to bed now and will be asleep for this one. On waking up I expect to find 3 more points on the table, but it is Southhampton !!!

Hope Hinshelwood plays right back not left back
Welbeck and Veltman rested for Tuesday perhaps?
Would have thought Veltman and Welbeck rested with a view to the game on Tue.

Surely they’re just rested?
That seems slightly arrogant given our poor record against teams near the bottom. Also, you’d have them on the bench wouldn’t you?

possibly but surely they’d at least be on the bench?

I'm sure Keith Burkinshaw would agree with that.

Not awoke
Veltman was on his haunches at 80 mins last week so in some ways not surprised

That's the side that is expected. Welbeck and Veltman have nearly 70 years 'experience' between them.....I imagine they'll be back for the midweek game.
