[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City *** Official Match Thread ***

[Shins]

Team I wanted to see, good stuff.

We won't see Lamptey, but is great to reintegrate him back into a match day squad and get him back into the routine and mind set etc. Feel we've done this with a few players in the past as well. A good benefit of a larger subs bench.

Absolute bullshit that the club can't appeal to the league to move it to Monday evening, or didn't, if they could have (I'm not sure which). So so frustrating when this happens

Happy with Sunday a pleasant traffic free drive down, arrived Mill Road at 1110 straight in straight on a bus,
No crowds in the shop, stands open at 12 no problem with Covid pass ( took about 10 seconds)
Sat in seat at 12:10

Only complaint no cold soft drinks in ESU all room temperature…. Manager said fridges are not good!!!

 

[dstanman]

Good to see some players returning from injury on the bench

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Despite the massive loss of Webster that is a great looking team IMO, the exact team I would have picked and predicted.

And absolutely delighted to see Lamptey on the bench, what a bonus!

Why would they want to do that when we're playing Swansea on Wednesday ?

We are playing Swansea on Wednesday. I doubt we would like Monday and Wednesday.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Possibly the strongest Albion XVIII of all time, now that Lamptey's on the bench.

Surely it’s strongest Albion XX now we name 9 subs.

 

[Barrow Boy]

Good feeling about that line up, come on Albion!

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Who will get turned over with relative ease.

Were losse.

 

[Icy Gull]

Like that line up.

I remember our first away game in the PL when Leicester ripped us apart with Mahrez scoring ( or maybe making the goal) very early on. Went with so much enthusiasm, came back totally deflated. I think a Leicester journalist declared that the Albion performance that day was “the worst I’ve ever seen from a Premier League team”

Let’s make today the day we get our first win against them in the PL

 

[chaileyjem]

Remember when we played them before and Lampty stayed back to stop there quick breaks. Dont know who will do that job today

Perhaps Lamptey will if needed.

 

[KZNSeagull]

We are going to win. 2-1

Traffic is a disaster.

You have to ask yourself if it’s because of the 7,000 students moving into halls on the University Of Sussex campus, Race For Life at Stanmer Park, The London to Brighton bike ride meaning Coldean lane is closed or just the fact we are playing a little Premier League game today that could see us go 2nd?

Ah, I forgot about that. I'll hold my hands up on that one!

Still incredibly frustrating though

In a way the loss of Gross ain’t too bad, LCFC have pace for the counter everywhere. Demarai Gray highlighted a gaping vulnerability.

On the plus side:-

We've got loads of space in the stadium.


There's definitely an Albion v Halifax at the Goldstone vibe about the place.

I was thinking the same re gross. If ever there were a game for him to be unavailable

I worry about set-pieces.

Moder is the only player close to Groß for quality corner delivery. Maybe Tross.

The colossal A27 tailback to Patcham, I’m in it, suggests loads of late arrivals.

If we happen to be 1 nil down with 15 to go I'd be very tempted to chuck Tariq on as Leicester will tire towards the end, nice option to have again, hopefully that scenario won't be needed but it's great to see Tariq and Super Dan back in contention.
