Brighton and Hove Albion v Reading ***Official Match Thread*** Boxing Day 2014

[Hugo Rune]

Gardner must contractually have to play every match?

 

[BobbySmith]

Now we know who picked the side. When will they ever learn that Gardner and JFC does not work, look at our results when they play together, goodbye Mr Jones, hope I am proved wrong.

Staggering isn't it.

1 win in God knows how long and we still get the same dire midfield...Thought we had some one with half a brain that could work it out? Guess not

12k inside the stadium today despite an official attendance of 24k+ ?

It's Boxing Day and I'm sure it'll be a healthy crowd...No way 12k or 16k.The real low crowds only appear in midweek games against dire opposition

Depends on the tactics we use really, If we play a more conventional back 4 as we did against Wigan and Blackburn it's not so bad but if he keeps the full backs playing as wingers then I can only see it going as it has most of the season.

 

[Bob!]

Hopefully Holla will play deep, the full backs have defensive duties, the wide men play wide, and we get back to a previous Sami formation.

changing the dugouts WTF is that all about

 

[AnotherArch]

When is it Gardner's turn to miss out as a loanee. The stroller needs to get a few omissions "in the bank" ahead of the others.

Pics on twitter show the very sparse stands unless there are another 12,000 on the concourses right now.

 

[Bladders]

Is JFC starting again?

We needed to change something, shame it wasn't the midfield!

All part of the re-evaluation exercise to keep the incoming manager happy

A Vine on Twitter from [MENTION=22232]sussexseagull[/MENTION] showing a virtually empty Amex apart from a few hundred already in their seats.

 

[Hamilton]

Half an hour to go. Walking to the Amex and there is nobody about. I hope there is a late surge!

I hope they made Sami hand in his stadium access pass before he left
