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

[OzMike]

Thanks to the clocks changing kick off is now at 10pm here now, much more civilised.
5.30pm here now, popping out for a bite with wifey and then back for the game, bed midnight.

I like this bit

The last four meetings have all ended in draws.
Brighton are unbeaten in seven league matches against Burnley and have conceded only four goals during this run (W3, D4).
The Seagulls have won four times and lost just once in their last seven league visits to Turf Moor.

I don't like stats - not before a match, anyway. Winning runs always come to an end sometime, and so do unbeaten runs -and the longer any such runs go on the more likely they are to end!
But, if we could keep it going for one more match.....please!!

Weird statistic...It is less than two and a half years since Brighton's last match at Burnley (1-1, November 2015), but the Clarets will not have even one of their starting XI that day in their team this afternoon.

Heaton, Darikwa, Duff, Keane, Mee; Boyd, Barton, Jones, Arfield; Hennings, Gray...........................Heaton (now on bench), Darikwa (Forest), Duff (manager Burnley U23s), Keane (Everton), Boyd, Jones (both Sheff Wed), Barton (new Fleetwood manager), Arfield (joining Rangers), Hennings (Fortuna Dusseldorf), Gray (Watford). Mee (injured).

The Seagulls will only likely have 4 of their 2015 line-up....: Bruno, Dunk, Stephens, Kayal.

Have they moved Stoke or was Izzy,s goal disallowed?

They moved stoke. It's now just this side of Exeter. I'm surprised you weren't aware, it was all over the news. People of Exeter were up in arms, they were happy for stoke to be moved south, they just didn't want it next to them. Bunch of NIMBYs if you ask me.

Ulloa starts, in place of Murray

Like the team sheet....looking forward to this - a point will do us.

The team I would have picked. Take a point all day long though

Trepidations

Stoke draw, they can only equal us on points now with a far inferior goal difference.

 

[Sheebo]

Stoke drawing is good. Can’t see them making up an 18 goal difference in 2 and 4 games - would need a 3 goal a game ratio in their favour / against ours...

Why did the fans forum get locked?

I can't believe that. I just used a now tv sports voucher to watch that crap.

Pretty bad. Can't believe they missed that shout for a pen.

 

[OzMike]

Just got back, and watched the last few minutes of the Stoke game.
Be interested to see what Klopp thinks of this one, as Stoke obviously didn't need the points as much as they did.

Not a bad place to live! Great watching the Albion every week on TV too.

Currently sat in Portslade at the family home, listening to the radio!
