[Albion] Ipswich Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Terry Connor]

I remember circa 1990/91 us winning there, with Byrne scoring or Nelson in was it a 2 nil win? When it came up on ceefax page 305 I was in CAHOOTS! Hopefully we can get a much needed away win tonight and repeat the feat.

Was there when we won 3-2 in late 80s with Kevin Bremner getting the winner late on.

 

[Sorrel]

They are absolutely going to fight for every point. We need to do that too.

Actually, that's the game I meant! Thank you.

Delap vs JPVH is going to be an interesting battle.

it'll be fine

Thankfully no chance Ogbene gets on the scoresheet again tonight due to injury.

 

[joydivisionovengloves]

Mills and Marina both out for this one so Robson's going to have to make some changes.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I think they're comfortably the best of the three promoted sides and probably the best of the bottom five. Tough game, we'll have to do well to get a (good)result.

 

[dwayne]

Crazy negative vibe on the board at the moment. 3 really good results in a row. Just need to get a win now.

 

[murciagull]

Don't worry, I've made Delap captain of my FF team. So 4-3 to Brighton with Delap hatrick.

 

[Han Solo]

3 points please. They are ok but this is certainly winable. We need at least one win from the next three or vibes will be very bad.

 

[schmunk]

I've just played EA FC and beaten a team wearing the Ipswich home kit by 5-0.

Joao Pedro scored a hat-trick. It MUST be portentous.



(admittedly, the other goals were scored by Michael Olise and, errr... Socrates, so it may not be FULLY replicable tonight.)

A reminder to all those who are just expecting us to turn up and win tonight. Who was the manager for this one?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Tough match, be happy with a point.

 

[Dick Head]

Defiantly.

not unless its celery

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

These have taken the Brentford “bravery” tag

We need a league win badly as the table is starting to take shape now.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Very nervous about this game. At the best of times Portman Road has not exactly been the happiest of hunting grounds for us. Ipswich seem to be finding their feet at last and are eking out the odd result. The win over Chelsea is not one to be ignored. I was very impressed with them at the Amex where they earned their point with a very disciplined display.

On a more positive note, I do think we have shown an increasingly positive attitude since the defeat against P*l*c* and the cup win on Saturday was a great confidence booster.

Expecting a tight game this evening and hoping we can bring back the three points.

 

[Guinness Boy]

It would be very Brighton to lose this and then win at Old Trafford.

 

[bluenitsuj]

If we don't win this then we are officially crap.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It’s not all down to this game but after such a grim run in the league we need a shot in the arm. A win tonight would be a big boost for the fans, some of whom have started getting increasingly nasty about the manager and the team.

The last two league matches were a point at home to second place Arsenal and a point away to seventh place Villa. Not too shabby...
