[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Sheffield Wednesday *** Official Match Day Thread ***

[SweatyMexican]

Ulloa had a torrid game.

Isn't this the game where Ulloa had his injury?

Yep, but although I thought it was Wednesday at the time, it was the pitch that did Ulloa in.

Badges lining up in a row.

Team for today?

Squad chooses itself as they are only 18 fit players, if that. Stephens out, Crofts not match fit and Toko out. That is three players that would likely to be starters.

Left back: I think I would prefer Hughes to Calderon.

Otherwise, I don't know the style that Sami will put out. O'Grady will play, I think. Not sure about Macca? Not my favourite player, But if Sami can stop him falling over all the time, maybe he will come good?

Maybe:

Stockdale
Bruno Dunk Greer Hughes
Ince Agustien Forster-Caskey
Buckley LuaLua
O'Grady​

subs: Ankergen, Crofts (or Fenelon), Maksimenko, March, Mackail-Smith, Chicksen, Calderón

Squad chooses itself as they are only fit players.

I predict

Stockdale

Bruno~Greer~Hughes~Chicksen

Ince
JFC~Agustien

Buckley~March
O'Grady

​

Kick off at 10pm here, bottle of red the a few tinnies at the ready.

Wouldn't be a matchday without the trains being a mess

 

[perseus]

Wednesday team might be:

Kirkland

Palmer, Lees, Loovens, Mattock

Maguire, Lee, Hutchinson, Maghoma, Coke

Nuhiu​

Westwood, Kelhar, Floro, McCabe, Corry, Madine, May

String five across the middle and try and stifle the Albion. I expect it will work. Or two banks of four and a second striker helping out = Madine?

Wouldn't be a matchday without the trains being a mess

Trains are a mess without the football. That is essentially the problem.

But my usual train:


Disrupted
This service is disrupted and you may not meet your connection.
Find alternative train

A broken down train near Angmering is causing delays of up to 30 minutes to trains between Worthing and Littlehampton / Chichester. There is no firm estimate yet of how long disruption will last but it is likely to continue until at least 13:00.

Alternative:

Cancelled
Part of this journey is cancelled. Please click 'Find Alternative Trains' for current alternative services to help you complete your journey.
Find alternative trains

These are the oldest trains on the railway. At least it did not break down on the viaduct out of Brighton.

Yep, but although I thought it was Wednesday at the time, it was the pitch that did Ulloa in.

So it had nothing to do with the Wednesday player deliberately stamping on his foot ?

not sure I can see Hughes being sami's attacking left back
I would think the rest of the team is what I expect
but chicken or maksimenko at left back and Hughes maybe in for dunk ( hope not)
and is there no chance crofts will start? and maybe be subbed if he tires?

 

[smudge]

Here at work on the ship; managed to talk the IT manager into un-blocking NSC, so following on here.
Just listened to a podcast preview of the Championship called "We are Going Up". They tip Brighton for relegation. They also had Huddersfield & Bournemouth as tips for play off places.
At least we got a mention, the silence about us has been deafening, which I think can only be a good thing.
Come on Brighton!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Solly March is out on the pitch doing what looks like a late fitness test with one of the training guys.
