[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers *** Official Match Thread ***

[Albion in the north]

Interesting but Mitoma, Caicedo and Mac looked out on their feet after last weekend so not sure what options RDZ has. Its not like we have the depth of squad of City. Not sure many other sides would be able to cope with injuries and fixture pileup like we have.

Five-man flooded midfield and a surprise for Wolves who've set up to counter our verticalization. Might mean a 0-0 up to 60 mins and then Mitoma on. Japan used him well as an impact sub in the WC. (fingers crossed we don't get fxcked in the first half though!).

 

[Javeaseagull]

Could work, if not that’s a hell of a bench. 5 subs remember

I’m getting worried about RDZ he seems to be getting things wrong, todays line up should have been Wednesday’s line up. Didn’t notice Colwell has having a mare and subbed our player who looked most like doing something twice. Forget he had a bench at Wembley and could of prepared for pens when it was heading that way.

That's what I said but got shouted down. Lets hope the lads prove me wrong.

 

[HangletonGull]

Very strange line up but in RDZ I trust

 

[WhingForPresident]

Why didn't we do this against Forest?!

Still hopeful we will get a result. Make or break for Billy and Deniz.

On another note, really is nothing like a few pints and a glorious sunny day at Falmer.

RDZ can't win here. A lot of people were insisting on the strongest possible side for Forest. So he did it and they were dead on their feet. Everyone complained that he should have rested players.

So now he rest the regulars, and everybody complains again...

Not everyone… some of us (well, me) got reamed for suggesting a proper rotation

 

[Zebedee]

Looks like a really weak line up to me. For the first time ever I've gone against the Albion and stuck £20 on a Wolves win at 4/1. Still prefer to see a Brighton win but with that team it looks very unlikely.

 

[Blue3]

Oh my that’s an interesting starting 11

 

[Goldstone Guy]

I think Undav will be better as part of a front two. His link-up play looks good to me. A bit worried about central midfield, hopefully Gilmour and Gross can do the job.

First time ever?! Why today? You supported us long?

 

[Affy]

Big call resting all three of Moises, Mitoma and Ali Mac. But it is still a reasonable line up.

Could be a surprise 4-4-2 with Welbz and Big Den up top.

Certainly won’t be the line up Wolves have been preparing for.

Fingers crossed for a result rather than performance today. Think the mindset needs 3 points!

 

[saafend_seagull]

Have to hope it’s 0-0 by 55th min then triple sub…

In hindsight should have rested macillister against forest.

 

[Weststander]

Already praying for several substitutions at HT

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Paul Merson thinks we’re deliberately avoiding Europe with that lineup

 

[Bridcutt]

Worried about this one. Really weak line up but chance for Gilmour to show he can compete and step up

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Necessary changes but it doesn't fill me with hope. Gilmour has been an after thought so far under De Zerbi and Undav unfortunately hasn't looked like a premier league quality player at any stage this season.

Hopefully both will shine today and we'll pick up a big three points.

Interestingly Manure players who played the full minutes didn’t look like Wembley had made any difference to their performance levels.
