Brighton & Hove Albion Vs Sheffield Wednesday ****OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD****

[Seagulls1984]

Can see us having to make 2 subs in the first 15 mins .

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Knockaert!

 

[Wilko]

Like the team but would have had Rosenior rather than Bong at left back personally. Come on you SEAGULLS.

 

[The Camel]

Unless he's 95%+ fit, I would have started with Knockaert on the bench.

 

[Mancgull]

Unless he's 95%+ fit, I would have started with Knockaet on the bench.

Doubt that's the case. Expect he's only c70% or so. Couldn't afford to bring him on and then him breaking down after 5 mins. Yes, it's risky but I bet it's put the wind up Wednesday.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Knockers!!

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Anyone got player working yet?

 

[dangull]

the cowardly Frenchman is back after leaving us down to 10 men mmm

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Wow... worked the moment I asked... first good sign of the evening... Knockers and Sidwell fit 2 more good signs!!

 

[LlcoolJ]

Brilliant.

 

[portlander]

All or nothing. Death or glory. Onwards and upwards. Crap like that. Come on Brighton

 

[Hugo Rune]

Come on boys, you've already done us more than proud! We can do this #together

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Unless he's 95%+ fit, I would have started with Knockaert on the bench.

Understand your thinking but you have it back to front.
Start with the 95% player and see how long they can go on for [may surprise you].
If you bring him on as sub with 30 mins to go and actually only last 20 you need another sub or go a man down.

Always best to start with your highest quality XI

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Someone one day will pull back from a 2-0 deficit.... why not that day being today?

 

[TheDuke]

Which foot did Knockers sprain?

 

[Ludensian Gull]

Which foot did Knockers sprain?

Right

 

[GreersElbow]

the cowardly Frenchman is back after leaving us down to 10 men mmm

What on earth are you on about?

Someone one day will pull back from a 2-0 deficit.... why not that day being today?

We did against Charlton, that was in less than 90 minutes...but we also only need 2 goals and drag this to penalties

 

[dangull]

How can Sidwell comeback a few days later with 3 layers of cotton on his leg

 

[Mancgull]

Understand your thinking but you have it back to front.
Start with the 95% player and see how long they can go on for [may surprise you].

And we've now got to the point that if the injury gets worse (within reason) he'll have the next two months to get over it. No point wondering now.... Bold and correct move for sure.

I was always told to expect the unexpected but I didn't expect this line-up.
