Brighton & Hove Albion v Cardiff City **** Official Match Thread ****

[sir albion]

Have a horrible feeling we're going to lose this one, we're due a defeat. This is the Albion, don't forget.

Yep a dire boring match and frustrating one just like the millwall game,probably be a defensive line-up again.

We need to win tonight.While promotion isn't realistic, if a playoff place is a serious goal we need to beat teams below us and teams with similar ambitions.Last nights results went our way and made up for the dropped points against Donny.
2-1 to the Albion.
Please.

cardiff have the slowest defence in the league, yet we don't play one of Lua Lua or Buckley....Glad Assulin is playing though!

In our own feet (don't say hands to Mattock)

Being ill at home (feeling like Vicente). I would have thought a wide player like Buckley would give an outlet and stretch their defence. Second half change pre-planned?

Testing match to see if Albion are really ready for the Premiership. Liverpool did not beat them in open play.

I think a winger would stop Cardiff pushing forward. But they play four in midfield and two of their midfield players are pretty good: Gunnarson and Whittingham.

BBC Sport - Brighton v Cardiff

If we get to the Premiership, we would need four Premiership quality players immediately and we have four on the pitch (loanees).

 

[brakespear]

will go 3-2 to us, Assulin to score.

Come on Brighton!

 

[perseus]

Talking about Rochdale matches (with John Templeman), both of which I went to.

Ray Train scored a fantastic goal for Rochdale and 34,000+ fans were almost silent. The goal was so good that was a whimper of applause but the stakes were too high ...
