[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest *** Official Match Thread ***

[Guinness Boy]

Very important game today.

It is very helpful that we are at home - hopefully that will be a source of renewed confidence for us after the crazy intensity of the Stadio Olympico.

As long as we mix it up - possession but direct attacks too, stretch their defenders wide or play long shots over the block and keep our backsides covered when pressing high, we should handle the oppo fine.

They’ll defend deep and centrally except their attackers who’ll press. As soon as we make a mistake they’ll whack it in behind our non existent full backs and Gibbs White will get a hat trick of assists.

Come on Brighton. Please get a result. i need a pick me up. UTA

Moder and Baleba, well it ain't going to be boring one way or the other.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Moder for his first Albion goal today............please?

 

[The Optimist]

It’ll be interesting to see how Moder and Baleba work together. If the out of form players can find some form then overall it seems to be a strong team.

Wood for them is always a worry !

I like the side. Hopefully the formation is as it looks, i.e. Back 4, 3 in midfield and 3 up top.
If so, this is there for the taking.

Yes exactly the concern - why as I said, we need to stretch them out wide when they fall into a deep central block or play over the top - or get behind the lines before putting in a cross.

I don’t hold up much hope that we have got those inside left channels covered against counterattacks in our FB system ( that likes to attack and forgets to fall back!) - it leaves us exposed behind the ball - maybe he should try Baleba in a sweeping role and play Gross deep too?

Baleba and Gross pivots with Moder as 10? More likely than Baleba and Moder pivots.

Oh dear Barco.

Upon purchasing Harvey's in the West Upper my Barclays app is telling me I've spent £5.30 with Celtic FC today. Why?

Drove there in your bare feet?

Would it be outrageous to suggest we have a back four today?

I will be asleep for this one and expect to wake and find 3 more points on the league table.

Probably a side effect of brexit
