Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[glasfryn]

its about time I got one right
3-1 to the Albion
although a draw would be very exceptable

 

[Hampster Gull]

Today will be a stern test of CH's team tactics.

Burnley are strong across the midfield, it's vital we match them in the middle of the park or we'll get overrun. Given our choices, I'm adamant we should opt for extra cover and pick Stephens, Kayal and Crofts in the same team. All are capable of pinching a goal and if we bore the life out of Burnley, then so what?

Make no mistake, this is our toughest game so far this season. If we play a more expansive team, it could get ugly.

Thats where i would go.

that is some prediction

We always freeze on live TV - not optimistic about this one, but hope I'm wrong.

 

[jimhigham]

Psychologically steeling myself for the loss of our unbeaten status.

If we win I may have to throw off my caution and really, really begin to believe that we are top two contenders.

Like forest away?

 

[Seagulls1984]

Will be disappointed if we don't start March and Murphy

 

[Barham's tash]

Will be a packed midfield today sadly I fear. Wish we had the balls to take them on with two wingers. Hate that fear rules the game these days.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Much will depend on Stephens and Kayal as ever. If we play three in the middle I hope it's Ince in front of the back-four as if it's Stephens we tend to miss his forays forward.

 

[Icy Gull]

How good would it be to pull off a shock to equal Madrid and Liverpool yesterday, well we are due to give someone a drubbing

 

[Justice]

Like forest away?

And Forest at home.

 

[Seagulls1984]

Got to be
Stockdake
Uwe
Dunk
Rosenior
Kayal
Croft
Stephens
March
Murphy
Hemed
Only team he can play in my eyes but think he might play Calderon instead of March or Murphy

 

[Stat Brother]

Won't we miss Baldocks goals though?

We will miss his tireless running at defenders, creating space, and assisting in goal scoring opportunities.
Plus his decent relationship with Hemed, which sure has created more misses than goals.

If only we could roll the clock back to any of the last 4 seasons, when the team were creating all those chances, AND putting them all away...



...oh hang on a minute.

I wouldn't suggest starting with 10 players
