[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea *** Official Match Thread ***

[Dick Head]

Appreciate you posting the lineup instead of having to go to Xwitter to see the subs. They do post the lineups on Blue Sky too. Maybe we could try posting the lineups from there instead?

They are always late, if at all on Bluesky. I try to use it when I update the OP but what are you gonna do?

Is copy and pasting the image from X a breach of copyright or some other transgression? If not - that works quite nicely!

 

[Blues Guitarist]

Tariq had a terrible game last time round, his worst for the club, but he is a quality player who has mostly been great for us, that doesn't deserve comments like this.

He was no more terrible than anyone else. He often had two players to defend against with no-one helping out. Contrast that to Mitoma having two or three defenders on him whenever he advanced.

 

[Oh_aye]

I have to say the WSU is very civilised!I think I prefer it

 

[Driver8]

Not bad.

One change from the team that got thumped at Forest.

 

[Guinness Boy]

One change from the team that got thumped at Forest.

They won’t all be in the same positions though.

Three subs at HT there too which we hopefully won’t need tonight.

Dad in WSL: Kids! kids! Cole Palmer is signing autographs get down there!

Dad in WSL: …..

Dad in WSL: oh. It’s Jason Steele

One change from the team that got thumped at Forest.

Yes. A positive one.

 

[Driver8]

Yes. A positive one.

Yes but we still have Lamptey at left back and we know how that ends up.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Oh no, not Dunk and Lamptey again - our defence looks so poor. Those Chelsea attackers are going to be rubbing their hands together.

Midfield and forward areas look strong on the other hand. There’s going to be some goals in this game!

Posting the picture also stops all the "who's on the bench" comments, which get truncated when you post the Xwitter.

 

[Diablo]

Check list for tonight:

Get the fire going. Get several Beers ready.

Settle down in comfortable Armchair and be grateful not out in the cold damp weather till 10pm followed by journey home.

 

[Seagull58]

Just 2 midfielders?

Isn't that one more than necessary?

If there's an issue, how early does the club publish the line up on the club website? They could presumably do that sooner, if they want and if that's the issue?

 

[Driver8]

Is that a strong Chelsea lineup?

 

[Bodian]

Yes but we still have Lamptey at left back and we know how that ends up.

Or right back, with Veltman on the left as we tried in the second half last week?

 

[GT49er]

Yes but we still have Lamptey at left back and we know how that ends up.

Sometimes. Sometimes not. Generally looks better when we have a midfield.

 

[Driver8]

Or right back, with Veltman on the left as we tried in the second half last week?

Either is likely to end in disaster .

 

[Flounce]

What's wrong with tonight's line up? Let's get it in the open now, rather than after the result like the hindsight merchants should we lose.

Or, does look it good?

Happy with it here, but would rather have seen Webster over own goal specialist Dunk
