We're ****ed

Their bigger than us AND they know LATIN.

Don't worry, small is beautiful. And I know Latin - A-Level in 1971.

It just means "With Skill and Hard Work", But do they have enough of either (or both) to breach our solid defence? I hope not.

James Wilson is running the line.
He's bound to help us.

Raining cats and dogs up here. Hope they don't play the conditions

Although I am not really into all this north/south stuff, but to travel all the way up to Blackburn on a wet, dark, Tuesday December night is beyond the call of duty, I remember being in Burnley in similar conditions but freezing it was very depressing.
Full credit to all that go tonight I hope we put on a performance and win for you all tonight.

Aren't you supposed to avoid hospitals if you have the norovirus?

Initially thought it was something else, which I do also have but it's been caused by the virus. Basically as a type one diabetic and being rundown by blood has turned slightly ketoacidiotic.

100/1 on Skybet, Albion 1-0, Duffy the scorer.

I reckon that is a good enough bet in lieu of a lottery ticket i.e. £2. Not going down the bookies. Still recovering after an injury getting of the train after the Leeds game.


Albion away (last)

Shots 13 - 10.7
Shots on target 3.1

Goals 5-8 (6 scored from open play, one penalty)

Albion first

WDL 4-4-1

Away goals conceded.

Long range header from a free kick: Lascelles (Newcastle)
Direct free kick: Shelvey (Newcastle)

Scrambled last minute goal as consolation from open play down Albion's left: Hooper (Wednesday)

Long range inswinger cross free kick: Swift (Reading)
Shot in penalty area after open play down Albion's left: McShane (Reading)

https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1085032/Preview predicts 1-1

Backburn WDL 3-4-3 mixed results at home, but automatic contenders ought to win at Ewell Park

NB, Stats:

If Blackburn score a goal it is a 55% chance based on past results of teams vs Brighton in the Championship this season on their own turf. 22% first half and 33% second half.
Two goals and it is 22% chance
A goal from open play is 22% chance
A draw or defeat is 44% chance
A win is 11%

For the whole of 2016, Albion have lost 10.5% of games away.
74% record of conceding a goal.
But only a 79% record of scoring a goal.

Blackburn have all the chance of upsetting the form book. Albion really need to score more away from home

Just arrived. Not cold but my is it grim!

Was up there on April fools day 2014, we took 197 that night, hopefully a few more tonight. Proper grim town but pretty friendly though, stayed in a well dodgy B&B
