Brighton & Hove Albion vs Barnsley *** Official Match Thread ***

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Venue: The American Express Community Stadium
Referee: James Linnington
Kick Off: 7.45 pm

Brighton will be looking to extend their unbeaten run on Tuesday night as they host Barnsley at the Amex. The main selection dilemma for Oscar Garcia will be whether to retain Inigo Calderon at right back or recall Bruno. Ashley Barnes will go into the game full of confidence following his 'wonder strike' at Bournemouth last weekend. There is an outside chance that Leo Ulloa will make the bench whilst it is expected that Liam Bridcutt will make his first start since returning from injury.

My starting 11:

Koosh
Bruno
Greer
Upson
Ward
Bridcutt
Ince
Crofts
Conway
JFC
Barnes

My prediction? 2-0 Albion, Barnes with both goals.

Cold, midweek, evening game against shite opposition......deja vu Sheff Weds?? Lets hope not!

 

[Mackenzie]

0-0

Dour Barnsley put 11 behind the ball to grind out a point.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Barnsley with no manager will have no real plan - so no problems from the opposition, unlike saturday's plan from Eddie Howe to nullify our usual play.

 

[shaolinpunk]

They'll sit back and it will be a frustrating game until we finally find a way through late in the first half or early in the second, at which point the game will open up a bit and we'll go on to win 3-0

I am sure you are right, looking forward to it though, didn't get to see a single game last month, forgotten what it is like at the Amex!

 

[Footsoldier]

Draw.

 

[KLUNK]

I think this is a potential banana skin game for us. Bit like when we played SW,assuming we just need to turn up.
If you ignore Barnsleys last 2 consecutive defeats,they had only lost once(to Qpr) in their previous 6 games,including beating Boro & drawing to Reading.
Of course we are capable & certainly good enough. Just hope our boys are focused...

Narrow win for me,2-1

 

[LamieRobertson]

1/0 ..then draw saturday

 

[colonies man]

Here in Oz hope to wake up weds am with a good win to send me to work feeling good.

Starting the thread on the same day as the match?! You've cursed us!

 

[bhawoddy]

be nice to bag a few goals and get some kinda goalscoring run going...............I wanna see us win by 5 then march into the Leicester game full of goalscroing confidence........

Tonight is a great opportunity to attack them with TWO strikers.............really push the boat out......3 at the back please against this mob who cant possibly hold out if we attack in numbers. 1 up front against this lot tonight will be seen as UBER negative IMO

No logos in OP?

Were loose.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Not enough "Were Loose" on the first page. I will have to downgrade my prediction. 5-0 it is then.

Team will be same that started on Saturday except Bruno back for Calde, I reckon.
