Some extra stuff I didn't want to jinx the first post with.


STATISTICS

According to Experimental 3-6-1...

"The attack ratings of these two clubs are moving in opposite directions: Ipswich have been looking progressively blunter for some time and are now the division’s lowest-rated attacking side, while Brighton have gone from strength to strength and look to be operating the most dangerous forward line around. Both have been stubborn at the back but the visitors look likely to ask repeated questions of their hosts’ defence"

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Sky Bet Championship
27/09/16
Kick Off: 19.45
Venue: Portman Road

Brighton travel to Portman Road in good heart following on from arguably their best performance of the season last Saturday at home in the 2-0 win against Barnsley.

Manager Chris Hughton will need to reshuffle his midfield due to Beram Kayal picking up a knock last Saturday and it is likely that either Oliver Norwood or Steve Sidwell will be a direct replacement.

Gaetan Bong will miss the game after quickly accumulating 5 bookings in the early stages of the season. Sebastian Pocognoli is expected to make his full league debut at left back.

My prediction? Losing Kayal is a blow for the Albion however if we are to be successful this season then our squad players will need to step up and I am confident that we can maintain our recent form and snatch a 2-1 victory.

Come on you Seagulls!! GOSBTS!!! ️️️️

Ipswich 0 - Brighton 3

Honestly not seeing a win....but i live in hope but not sure where the goal will come from?

Tough opposition I'm going for a 2 - 1 win for Ipswich. They need to rebound after the Leeds defeat

Love the pic of the stadium. I feel a 1-2 loss coming.

I can only see an away win here the way we are playing at the moment , but who knows.

I think we'll do well to get a 1-1 draw - and I'm looking forward to seeing if action on the picth comes anywhere near matching the rhetoric off it. Come on boys, this is your opportunity to shine!

Let's hope Poco (if he plays) has a better match than last week (as reported by some)

They were both created within five mins of each other, I guess we just pick one and hope it's the lucky one. Either that or a mod will come along and merge them.

No doubt, three nil!

Not feeling that confident for this evening, but hoping to be pleasantly surprised!

Yeah the pictures are way too big aren't they. I thought it would be good to have in one spot and a lot of people wouldn't bother going to the other sites - whoscored is painfully slow.

Anyway, I'm not feeling 100% confident either, but this is one of the more winnable away fixtures given the current form. Although our history there hasn't been great of course!
