[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa *** Official Match Thread ***

[Stat Brother]

Villa team seriously strong - gonna be tough to get anything. Would take a point now for sure.

Oh that's a shame I was hoping Mings would play?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Grealish is gonna learn a lesson tonight if so. Crying on the pitch will be for real.

White and Veltman are not forgiving men

Much as I don’t overly rate him, he has been better this season when I’ve seen him...

The attack with Watkins, Barkley, Sock Tit, Traore, McGinn - that’s the worry - all good players for sure...

 

[Rogero]

Potter out.

Why?

 

[Weststander]

Villa have had amazing luck this season, barely an injury.

With Luiz their only defensively minded midfielder, Smith’s playing a creative/front 5 to blow us out of the water.

Fingers crossed the big spender fails.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Really need Villa to have an off night if we are going to pick up 3 points tonight.

Still fancy us to grab a point.

 

[Sheebo]

League table wise (with av points per game) this is a harder fixture to Spurs and similar to playing Chelsea / Liverpool - we will need to be good to get anything.

 

[Seasidesage]

Interesting benchmark for the rest of our season here IMO. Get something and we have some good games coming up with players coming back from injury...

 

[The Wizard]

Villa are a very good side to be honest, going to be a tough game, particularly without Lamptey and March.

Depends what Villa turn up though, they were awful against us at Villa park and we were in shite form then.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I'ts up soon and it's llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve

 

[Icy Gull]

Confess to being worried about Sockboy having his almost obligatory blinder against us. Villa are fresher than us and have virtually no injuries. I think I’ll settle for a point at the moment

I think we might need some of the luck that has mostly eluded us this season

Dean Smith whinging about the "dubious" decision with the Solly March penalty shout back on November in the pre-match interview. Get ****ed. Let's have them Graham and Co.

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Curious to see how the defence line up.

I wonder how many opposition managers think the same thing these days.
Must be a nightmare in the other dressing room.lol

 

[raymondo]

Yes, and how often had Brighton fans had the chance to boast about that stat!

Possibly never?!

We've got very much in form Jocko, Trossard & Maupay running at Mings, with Gross and Bissouma calling the shots.


For me missing Webster is the only reason to give Villa a decent edge.

 

[vagabond]

Shame for Webster not recovering and slightly disappointed Karbo hasn’t started again. But otherwise a good solid line up, probably our best available.

And our bench is full of quality options again.

 

[portslade seagull]

Come on boys let's keep this run going

 

[RandyWanger]

Leeds Ben White mentioned before kick off BINGO

 

[vagabond]

Alzate at LWB worries me.

To be fair he played brilliantly there against Leicester.

That’s his team talk done, in his dull Kevin Turvey accent .... Justice for the Villa.
