[Albion] Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Questions]

Can’t see anything other than a win, loss or draw for this game.

I'm a little worried. It has been commented on before this season as to how fit our team looks when they lose possession and press in numbers to get it back quickly. That was a long old match on Sunday and we do have a few players with a lot of minutes over the last few weeks and a few unavailable.

Still believe

 

[RandyWanger]

Massive game tonight, we will learn a lot about our mentality and desire.

You may have thought you were covering all bases, but the game could also be postponed, or abandoned due to all sorts of reasons, most likely a touchline brawl between Cooper and RDZ, in which event my money would be on RDZ.

Not sure I am convinced. Anything could happen

Here we go again, let’s hope the lads aren’t still knackered from Sunday. We need to win this and it should be alright given Forest’s recent form. I mean bottom of the League or thereabouts,away up North on a Wednesday night, what could possibly go wrong? But you know the Albion!

Yes. We're currently unbeaten against the bottom 8 away with 5 wins and 2 draws with just Forest to play. And we've also beaten Stoke up North on a Tuesday night as well.

So, we really don't know if Welbeck is around for tonight or not, do we? Seems mixed messages.

From the BBC article on team news:

'Brighton are averaging 18.8 shots and 7.2 shots on target per game in the Premier League in 2023, more than any side in the division.'

Wow.

He’s been reported fit but I will be surprised if he starts having played Sunday. He’s getting on you know! Maybe come on for Undav after an hour?

Back to normal football. Very excited to see Buonanotte given a proper go. We're wing.

We all think about our improved goalscoring as a cornerstone of our success under De Zerbi, but one stat that jumped out at me this morning was our defence - second best in the PL in 2023...

Get their attention….

 

[banjo]

Surely Undav to score a brace tonight.

 

[GT49er]

Ermmm......................... Forest on a winless run, 11 games since their last win. Just a thought ......

I am waiting for Simster to start his match day thread.
