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

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Teamsheets handed out to the press say it’s O’Riley

 

[Blue3]

To be honest I think our bench could give the first 11 a run for there money

 

[Blue3]

No March either being rested or has he picked up a knock?

 

[heathgate]

Gruda over Minteh and Rutter is difficult to understand.

It's rotation

 

[Greg Bobkin]

were loose

Defiantly.

 

[Zeberdi]

So good to see Hinshelwood o the bench finally. And I pleased he’s got McConville in too. Hopefully they’ll both get some minutes today.

Squad looking a lot better than it was a few weeks ago - (even minus Moder and Enciso.)

 

[The Optimist]

I’m assuming Estupinan has a knock. Has this been confirmed?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Gruda over Minteh and Rutter is difficult to understand.

Not to mention no place for Georginio.

 

[um bongo molongo]

I’m busy later so can I register my vote for 2 points dropped now?

Some strange comments from the great unknowing on twitter. I like the fact there is a core 20 odd players in rotation, especially midfield and wings. We don't want to bugger up the team by running them into the ground and then not having enough left for the rest of the season, do we?

Unlike forest eh who field the same team most weeks

I'm starting to think he plans for the assumption that the first half is going to be tight trench warfare.

And deliberately holds some weapons back for the second half when it opens up.

My only slight issue is I'm not sure there's much Gruda cam do that Rutter can't and he's much more physical

Seems it. But re Gruda…

I can see the logic of this team. There will be no space in behind unless we take the lead and they are chasing the game and so Minteh second half makes more sense. They will sit in a low block so Gruda might be more effective.

….tend to agree. Rutter can come on and batter them.

Personally I’d like to see Rutter rotating with Joao Pedro. But the workings out are pretty clear and sensible from Fab.

 

[The Fits]

Unlike forest eh who field the same team most weeks

True. Big difference is they probably have a slightly better first team but a much weaker squad. So you can see both sides.

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

But these two coming off the bench together is pure dreaminess

Think it's been said before, but I'd like to see Rutter and Georginio play together for once. Wtf has Fab got against using both these players?!

 

[The Fits]

What an absolute shocker of a debut season for Wieffer, O’Riley and Ferdi by the way. Poor blokes.

 

[Sussexscots]

No Estupiñián. Rested? Or another 'knock' that keeps a player sidelined for weeks?

No Solly.

Wieffer has become a season ticket holder in the James Milner sick room.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

No Steele?

Game hasn’t even started yet, no need to criticise the performance this early

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Unlike forest eh who field the same team most weeks

There are always exceptions, even an odious club like nottingham tree sap will cock it up by running their team into the ground

 

[Alex BH]

This band is annoying

 

[US Seagull]

Ridiculous comment. It would be 11 vs 9 for a start!

 

[US Seagull]

Difficult to call this game. Everton on a high with the return of The Moysiah. On the other hand, they are still Everton.
