Derby County vs Brighton and Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[glasfryn]

What about this team today?:

Kuszczak

Calderon~Greer~Upson~Ward

Ince~Andrews

March~Lingard~Lualua

Ulloa​

Subs: Brezovan, Bruno, Dunk, Mackail-Smith, Orlandi, Spanish Dave, Buckley (if only a bit injured).

good team .....but if Ince does not play how about Bruno in there?

 

[Mackenzie]

good team .....but if Ince does not play how about Bruno in there?

I wouldn't be a fan of that. I prefer players to be in their proper positions where possible.....that said he plays more like a midfielder than a back most the time so he'd probably do a job.

If Buckley is available he will have to start, I don't think he can be brought on as a sub because if his hamstrings go when all substitutions have been made we will be really stuffed.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

...... or Reading got lucky because we screwed up against Huddersfield and Blackpool, take your pick.

Which of course is my point. When in our hands we fluffed it up.

 

[The Wizard]

The problem is Ince & Andrews in CM together, after JFC's performance the other night this generally seems to be the selection but having thought about it having been to a few away games with these two together. We always seem to lack penetration and creativity with that pairing.

Hmmm

 

[perseus]

Well quite. Negative vibes on the first few pages of the match thread is usually a good sign though.

Its hard to tell without a poll. Score forecast is only over 90 minutes.

 

[Don Quixote]

I am quietly confident.

 

[Dirty Dave]

What if he starts, we use all 3 subs then he gets injured?

 

[Mr deez]

In the Brunswick (derby). Any pubs with sky nearby?

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Com' on you Super Seagulls! I'm off to bed.

 

[Machiavelli]

Top Kat
Bruno/Calde Greer Upson/Dunk Ward (first mentioned to play if fit)
Ince Andrews Orlandi
March Ulloa Lingard

Subs: Brez, two from Calde/Dunk/Chicksen, Lopez, JFC, KLL, CMS
CMS + KLL to come on after 55 and 65 minutes if we're still behind on the tie, a bit later if not, Lopez to come on if we make it as far as extra-time

I just started to be nervous

 

[LamieRobertson]

Exciting afternoon ahead...hopefully

 

[Gazwag]

Always nice to see the adult in charge of 20 kids in Frankie and bennys outside the ground leading and encouraging the homophobic abuse classy.

Me too! 3 part day of sport.
1. Hamilton wins Spanish GP
2. Liverpool have a goal disallowed from a free kick and 30 seconds later concede1

3. Albion win 2-0 to go to play off final (Hopefully)

 

[Footsoldier]

Kuszczak

Calderon~Greer~Upson~Ward

Buckley - Ince - Andrews - Lingard

Ulloa - CMS

 

[bhawoddy]

My heart says brighton, my head says derby all day Long......please let my heart win this battle.

 

[GolfingGull]

Kuszczak

Calderon~Greer~Upson~Ward

Buckley - Ince - Andrews - Lingard

Ulloa - CMS

This. But March for Buckley who is out I believe

 

[Perfidious Albion]

My heart says brighton, my head says derby all day Long..

Come on....we have a good away record, down here they could only score from a penalty and a fluke rebound off the crossbar ....my heart and head say

If Buckley is available he will have to start, I don't think he can be brought on as a sub because if his hamstrings go when all substitutions have been made we will be really stuffed.

Argument that Macca should not start in case Ulloa gets injured.

Watching Liverpool struggle against the man-to-man marking of Newcastle. Game play very much like Derby. I don't like the Derby style. Some of their players are a little bit useful. I think we dealt with their breakaways not too badly.
