Is this the latest a match day thread has been started in recent seasons?

Missed it if announced elsewhere but I hope they cut GOSBTS music after first few bars. I did vote on twitter after all.....although that may have been words on the screen come to think of it.

 

[BensGrandad]

Perseus started this so another defeat?

 

[Shed]

Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere but for those who can't make it today the game is listed on wiziwig. So is pretty much every game from the championship today which seems a bit unlikely but worth a check!

 

[SweatyMexican]

Wow, I didn't realise how late this way made.

Hopefully this isn't a bad omen.

Were loose.

The words are printed in today's programme

All games are on bet365 if you live outside of the UK.

So pretty easy for me! If you are in the UK, just get a VPN like openvPn (connect to a non UK VPN) and you can watch on your Ipad.

Just got on the train at Hove station, just after a short walk from home. Now on the way to the mighty Amex to watch the BRIGHTON BOYS.

I know of one supporter who is going to his ninth game and he hasn't seen a win yet.

 

[Acker79]

Certainly later than any last season. Perseus also started the thread for the game v Sheff Weds where we would have probably assumed we should win, but some were worried whether we were good enough.

I think if we were to lose today, I would probably laugh at the idea of the anger it would cause.

 

[KZNSeagull]

The omens are all there. It's not looking good, so I will have to go for.....

5-1. Tex, CMS x 2, Bruno, Colunga

Shirt-sleeved weather. Beware, it is easy to forget your season ticket, leave it your jacket pocket. Just checking.

I never fancied us to beat Wednesday. If we lose this it will be down to the tactics. I expect Blackpool to come with two banks of four and hope for the best. We will have to be patient, or go for them from the start.

I don't really mind who plays so much as there is not much to choose between the players. I would start with Dunk, Ince, Lualua and Bruno. I would have Lualua starting in the central role, and switching out wide on 67 minutes, whatever the score. I think bringing on a sub at 75 minutes is too late. I would like to see O'Grady or McCourt on the bench, just in case we fire blanks. This would be Plan B.

Forest 2-0 at home are the only club to put more than one clear goal against Blackpool this season, so that is the benchmark. Time to leave now.

3-1 WILL DO ME
and I really do not care who scores as long as somebody does
a loss today will set the cat amongst the gulls

 

[perseus]

PS: If Orlandi scores with a right foot shot for them, the football Gods are not on our side.

 

[Driver 8]

Has a ****ing awful journey to the Amex today having left at 7.00 this morning so they had better put on a better display today.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Heading up for my first game of the season- can anyone explain was the set up outside the stadium is? Someone said they have food and Harveys on sale outside?

Cheers.

 

[loco61]

not sure how it has developed but against Bolton we arrived at 1pm... no queue at Dicks bar, enjoyed a pint inside before going outside to have a pint and fish and chips , all at the north stand end of the ground
