Brighton - In your face
So Spanish Dave (a nickname) is OK, but Slopez (points out one of his oh too obvious shortcomings) isn't? Hmmm.

The Invisible Man also has meaning in that he goes missing for about 99% of the time he is on the pitch in about 95% of his games.

Ulloa is slow, but effective, and the best striker we have. The nickname you suggest doesn't really work either.

Lopez is just, well, slow. Once in a blue moon, he changes the game, with his eye for a pass, or a great set piece. Unfortunately, all too infrequent. I'd say in about 3 or 4 games this season. Technically gifted. Contributes very little.

I think a front three of Sloulloa, Slopez and Slorlani could be interesting. As long Kickingdistributionpooruszczak, nohattrickWard, where'sthestepovegreer, and Upsonthepitch are playing we should win 1-0.

This is easy.

Impact subs: Branflakesforbreakfastdrews, March-ingbandinPrestonPark and Inyourface-ce. You know, I kind of expect these to catch on. BIG TIME.

We will smash them. Big Time Charlies such as Barton & Morrison will be so jealous of the Amex and the fact they have to play at Loftus rd, they'll lose focus completely. Our midweek game form had to change at some point!

It's not really a shortcoming though is it? Like saying one of Gordon Greer's main shortcomings is he's not very good at doing overhead kicks. It hasn't been infrequent recently though has it? 2 assists and a goal in 4 games. That's frequent, if anything.

Feeling nervous. Not sure if that is the anticipation of this game or that I am having my tonsils out tomorrow, 40 years after the sensible age to have them out!

To keep with consistency, as per Bozza's predict the goals scored thread, I am going for 6-1 to us.

Wheel most definitely not loose.

It's more difficult than it looks. The club is missing out. One-nilthan Jones t-shirt anyone?

It IS difficult. I've spent ten minutes thinking on my next one so far - Mackwherethehellhashebeenthesepastfewmonths-Smith. It's still a work in progress. Needs a little finessing, but pretty much good to go.

If he had any pace at all, he would be playing at a top club in the top flight in Spain or in the Prem so, yes, it is a shortcoming.

If Gordon Greer scored a goal a game he'd be playing in the Prem. I don't understand your point.

Spanish Dave had made a career in La Liga and the Championship, and his game has NEVER been based around PACE. No one is expecting him to bring PACE, nor TACKLING to a team. He is there for his crossing/assists, general passing and penalty taking. In that respect he has unquestionably done his job in the last few games, but not in the rest of the season admittedly.

OK. 'The Invisible Man' it is then!

Not sure there is one. Dave is about as fast as Ulloa, faster than Greer but slower than Lualua.

Added for accuracy.

Invisible Man who has set up 2 goals, scored a penalty (has a perfect penalty record) and got MoM against Wigan. All in the past 4 games. OK then. :thumbsup:

I have to say though, I do get annoyed that Kusz doesn't score more 40-yard volleys.

Ignoring his non-contribution in all but 3 or 4 games. Games in which someone (anyone) else would have struggled to contribute less. :FFSPuncheon
