Brighton and Hove Albion vs Burnley ****official Match Thread****

[fleet]

QPR win again

 

[nwgull]

Subs: Brezovan (GK), El-Abd, Maksimenko, Chicksen, Forster-Caskey, March, LuaLua.

No forwards, lots of midfield. We need to buy a forward!

Shouldn't break the bank for a forward. Barnes will be back next week and CMS back by end if sept.

 

[JBizzle]

FFS! No Andrews, so the rookie Ince plays....and our bench looks terribly lightweight.

Well bearing in mind Once was great vs. Derby, I'm ok with that.

 

[fleet]

Any thoughts on Brez on the bench?

The right place for him.

Buckley must be due to hit some form anytime now, have a feeling he's going to score early today. If not it would be good to see March have half an hour in the 2nd half.

 

[nwgull]

Has March even seen any first team action since his Norwich goal?!

Yeah come off the bench vs Derby I believe.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

The bench seems to be a little defensive with 3 defenders, (2 left backs). Is barker injured too?

 

[Northstand CAT]

Think you're right, it was only for 10 mins or so. I know it was only a friendly but his performance against Norwich in the 2nd half was the best individual performance I have seen for a while. Even if he hadn't of scored March still looked the best player on the pitch.

Not convinced about him yet, its all a bit frenetic when he gets the ball. I like my holding midfielders to be calm and confident on the ball. There is obvious potential but he is very, very raw in an important position. Not a lot else OG could do though with all the injuries though.

Good luck to the lad though, I hope he has a stormer.

Possibly not be used much to protect him from over expectation from us lot, and also to keep his feet on the ground.

How can a Burnley fan from Worthing not have managed to think about getting a ticket?

 

[glasfryn]

Burnley supporter from Worthing Hmmmmmmmmmmm!!

 

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

The butterflies have started, lets get it ooooon
Seeeeeegulllllllsssss

 

[Mackenzie]

SCR recons 300 Burnley fans. Not many is it for a Saturday match when they're on form.

 

[Sam-]

So our injury list for this game is ;
Andrews, CMS, Orlandi, Barnes, Bruno, Bridcutt, Hoskins.
Any team would miss those players.

Hope we still have enough for a result today.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

[Dick Head]
