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

I've just run past the ground and it's a lovely sunny morning here in gods own country. I think Ipswich will turn up and be really lively, and it will be an open game. I'm hoping our extra prem experience will see us squeeze past them but I'm expecting a really tight game. Would be happy with any form of win. Even an extension of what by any measure this season, has been a bit of luck in each game.

Yes, apparently they play really intensively for periods and can dominate possession and chances but can't maintain that throughout the game.

No sign of Pedro in the pre match video ?

Nor Dunk, nor JPvH, nor Veltman, nor Bart. I could go on.

 

[Eeyore]

Can't recall Sam Barrott. Anyone know whether he's refereed any of our previous games. Might be one for @Eeyore, but might be busy on another thread.

He was ref at Tottenham last season, but I think that's it.

Ok pal. He hasn’t done his customary pre match Instagram post either

Didn't Fab say JP was doubtful to play due to the long, late flight back from international duty?

I will be asleep for this one and expect to wake to find another 3 points on the board.

So what sort of changes would you want for the line up not to be "arrogant"?

 

[Mancgull]

Even if Pedro didn’t have a knock makes sense to start Rutter who will be fresh. Can give him 60 minutes and then replace with Enciso.
Sure Ferdi will make an appearance From the bench.

 

[Oh_aye]

interesting. Rutter for Pedro. Someone called it earlier.

presumably the only change then. Surprised not to see ferdi starts. Otherwise its 'as you were'
