Brighton & Hove Albion vs Ipswich Town *** Official Match Thread ***

[Hugo Rune]

Don't understand the team selection at all. Oh well. I still think we can win!

 

[Kosmonaut]

Streeeeeeeaaaammm, come on there must be one; not much else to show on a Wednesday night other than the cup game.

 

[GT49er]

Stockdale

Calderon-Greer-Hughes-Bennett

Ince-Holla

Teixera-Bruno-Baldock

Big Chris O'Grady​

I'd have the three as Bruno on the right, Baldock in the centre and Tex on the left. Tex and Baldock - Tex is good on the wing, and that would give Baldock the chance to be the second striker when appropriate. I do like the idea of Bruno and Calde running the right side between them.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Interesting that the club indicated Bruno playing at right back with Calde giving width in midfield.......that will be a first if true.

Looks like Best must've turned up after all & maybe setting the starting XI with Sunday in mind

Isn't he cup tied?

 

[KZNSeagull]

I would have Ince and Bruno holding, Holla further forward, since he seems to be able to pick a pass occasionally.

and maybe come up with a goal?

 

[Stuart Munday]

Isn't he cup tied?

Yes he is

 

[Stuart Munday]

So what happens if o'grady scores a hat- trick

What happens if he scores just one, looks more likely than anyone else at the moment

 

[Uncle C]

I would have Ince and Bruno holding, Holla further forward, since he seems to be able to pick a pass occasionally.

Not a good idea to break up a partnership that has developed a good understanding.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Why doesn't anyone understand the selection? They are the only players he has available!

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

No Halford...assume he is injured?

 

[jackanada]

Maybe even a 442 diamond.

Well this is it. Best will clearly not be match fit but how fit is he ? For sure he has not had much game time recently. March and Colunga could start but perhaps given it is Ipswich the current line up is the best to go with. They are hardly ones for a 'battle' but maybe in the last half hour they can come on and show a bit of quality. Colunga to score the penalty to bring us level anybody ?

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Naylor understands Calde is playing ahead of Bruno on the wing

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

No Halford...assume he is injured?

Suffered a slight calf injury on Saturday , so rested alongside CMS (ankle) and JFC (hip)

 

[glasfryn]

OK ALBION lets have an early goal then settle

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Always want to beat Ipswich but this really will be a grind I reckon
