Vs




This could prove to be a very tough game tonight, but we seem to play better against the teams near the top, so let's keep the faith in Oscar and the boys and roar The Albion to victory.

Team News according to Sky Sports <Edited by Super-Seagulls>

Burnley will have Ben Mee available for Tuesday's Sky Bet Championship clash with Brighton <& Hove Albion> at Turf Moor.

The Clarets did not have a game this weekend and instead spent some time in Spain last week with defender Mee now considered fully-fit from a thigh problem.

However, winger Ross Wallace will be given a little more time to recover from his knee injury, despite initially targeting a return this month. Wallace will play in a behind-closed-doors friendly this week in the next stage of his comeback instead.

Forward Ashley Barnes is still waiting to make his first start since arriving at Turf Moor, but it is unlikely to come <up> against his former employers given the form of strike-partners Sam Vokes and Danny Ings.

Will Buckley will again be missing from the Brighton <& Hove Albion> squad.

The winger has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury at Blackpool on December 29 and is not yet ready to return.

Midfielder Andrew Crofts (knee) and strikers Craig Mackail-Smith (Achilles) and Will Hoskins (knee) are still out - although the latter pair are back in training after long-term absences. <CMS played 24 minutes in the U21 game yesterday>

Goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak, defenders Bruno, Gordon Greer and Stephen Ward, midfielder David Lopez and striker Leonardo Ulloa return after they were rested against Port Vale in the FA Cup.

No capital letter on "Official". It's OFFICIAL, it HAS to have a capital letter.

Weird layout of team badges.

Random words in bold with <>'s?!

Cheers for ruining everything OP with a shocking thread. And there's a homophobic slur in your post

Can mean only one thing.

Anyone know if it's on a stream ( or preferably at The Blue Lagoon or other pub ) ?

I'm guessing the hint of a beamback for this match in one of the club emails didn't ever get anywhere ?

The weather forecast for Burnley is heavy rain on and off all day. What's their pitch like in terms is waterlogging?

There was a tweet earlier this week, either naylor or the club, saying it was cost prohibitive.

Wheel loose.

No we won't, 2-1 to us. Conway and Wickham

Shame, but I'm sure it would have cost a fortune, and for it to be worthwhile they'd need a massive turnout in the concourses, not just Seven Stars / Dick's bar.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

A second game on a heavy pitch in a few days. Going to be hard. Burnley there for the taking but think we'll concede late and drop points.
