[Albion] Bristol Rovers vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Raphael Meade]

I’m confused by the current states of the seagulls player - anyone know if radio commentary will be available on the website tonight? Traditionally one of the matches I make it back over for but alas no August work trip to the homeland this year.

Players shown include Haydon Roberts, Archie Davies and Steven Alzate:-

Was right behind this one as a spotty teenager. Good old George Parris. I remember the Bristol Rovers Goalkeeper and other players appealing to the West stands linesman, to no avail. I think Deeny Mundee sealed a 2-0 win from the spot if my memory serves me correctly.

To think, that's our reserves these days.

Crazy times..

I'd like to see Baluta get some game time, I think he could be good for us.

 

[Raphael Meade]

Really great to see Connolly and Alzate in the team.

Wonder if Ali or Alzate will be at right wing back...

 

[Mancgull]

AliJ RWB for me. Four internationals in our 'reserve team'.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

very surprised Glenn is playing

He gets injured we're f**ked.

 

[Mancgull]

Would like to think that the tactics are to be 2 goals up after 60 mins and then rest Glen and Pascal.

Agree about Băluță, I’m surprised Richards missed the squad altogether though, perhaps he has a foreign loan adventure lined up?

Also - the lack of Locadia suggests his power and pace will replace Andone against Coteh rather than Murray, Groß or Ali J.

Also interested to see who will play centre back and left wing back out of Bong and Bernardo assuming we do play 3 at the back again.

 

[AZ Gull]

Full first-team debut for Aaron Connolly. Initial first-team involvement (and obviously start) for Steven Alzate.

Also first involvements on the bench for 2nd-year scholar Haydon Roberts, Alex Cochrane and Archie Davies (plus Tudor Baluta).

Brilliant stuff for Haydon Roberts (and congratulations to Graham Potter for involving him).

Looking forward to watching Ben White and Haydon Roberts in the first team in future years.

 

[Raphael Meade]

Also interested to see whether Bong or Bernardo will complete the back 3 and the other the left wing back assuming we do play 3 at the back again.

The club live text page have confirmed Mooy and Alzate in central midfield... would suspect Bong at LWB and Bernado in the center, but could be wrong

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

How old is Roberts and what position does he play?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Eight under 23's in the squad, two starting. Let's hope some of them take their chance.

No Locadia. Does that mean there's truth in that loan to Hoffenheim rumour? Or that he's going to be starting against Man City?

17 I think cb or dm

 

[AZ Gull]

He is 17.

Typically plays centre-back but he is pretty versatile and can play in central midfield or at full-back.

Same question here- am also in exile and would love to at least listen to this but not sure of a way. Haven't had to use Seagulls player since we got promoted- and now doesn't seem to exist?

He traveled so maybe?

So is that Bong on the left of CB with Bernardo at wingback, or the other way round? Subs even more 'adventurous' than the team - none of the first team heavyweights waiting in the wings in case we need bailing out.

On another note, when posting links to Twitter, can people not just post the link that is relevant to the post - why do we need five different links?
I was lucky today - I got to the relevant link at the fourth attempt out of five..
