We will absolutely batter them.

25+ shots, 10 corners, 65+% possession.

1-1.

Totally agree with this; it's a shame that it appears that she isn't getting the opportunity to be elevated to referee at this level. She couldn't possibly be worse than some of the geriatric clowns currently officiating in the middle.
At this level, doing the line is a specialist job. The assistants on the Premier League and Championship have had extra training not given to the match referees and vice versa so they are not interchangeable. A lot of the EPL assistants have decided that they would prefer to do that then take a couple of steps back down the ladder in order to climb the referee side of things (and they would need to stop being professional in order to do so). I don't know if this is true of Massey-Ellis but you would think that if the FA could use her as a match ref they would.

As shown in the friendly may not be a gimmie but its a game we should be winning all things being equal so 0-0 it is then after someone is sent off for us after 5 mins for aggressive breathing or some other heinous crime spotted on VAR after a 30 min delay while they retask a satellite to get another image

Brighton factually.....
Wouldn't be at all surprised if Welbeck was introduced latedoors for added impact, and so as not to appear that GP is binning anyone from the starting line-up out of turn

IF fit I would start him, he is clearly a better player than Connolly, who could come on later if need be.

Seems to me the choice would be binning either Maupay or Trossard to make way for Welbeck, rather than Connolly, seeing as how those two seem to be more established in Potter's starting line-up (tho dare say some statto will be along in two shake's of a lamb's tail to tell me that is not the case)

This match has me nervous.... win and I can feel confident, draw and I'm thinking we are going to need to change things... lose and the heavens will cave in.

So early in the season and this is so much a must win if only for the confidence.
