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

[The Optimist]

Very jealous of those in a time of life/monetary situation to be able to go to most/all of the games in this run in now.

Really exciting times.

Once upon a time (pre children) I went to every game that I wanted to - which was basically every home game and a good chunk of the away games.

It’s kind of annoying that the best time to be a Brighton fan is coinciding with the point in life when I’m least able to go.

Once my children are a bit older hopefully they’ll want to go and it’ll get easier again. But maybe by then we won’t be as good anymore.

How old are they?

 

[The Optimist]

How old are they?

7 months and 3.5 years.

No we won't. We will be better

The biggest game of the season in our house. Inlaws are Forest through and through and will be there. While my wife has no strong affiliation either way she'd rather a Brighton win, though may not say as much to them...

Exactly the same - 5 year old and a 1 year old here. Evening games are a write off and no aways atm.

Impatiently waiting for the 5 year old's attention span to improve so I can start taking him to games.

I was about 7 when I started going with my dad so that’s kind of the age I have in my head. By about 10 I was going to away games (including Liverpool in the FA Cup 2-2 v John Barnes, Ian Rush etc and Millwall in the playoffs).

Just looked at the Forest run in

After tonight, they have Brentford (A) Southampton (H) Chelsea (A) Arsenal (H) and Palace (A)

Realistically, maybe three or four points? will leave them on a max of 31 points.

Lose tonight and they're bang in trouble - so they really need something out of this one.

Could be to our advantage

Just over a bridge on the Trent ooooh it's a sign.

Yeah, that's a bit young

I bought a season ticket for my kids to share when they were 4 & 5 and then when they got older they got one each.

Is he in there getting treatment?

 

[southstandandy]

Really hoping Buonanotte and Ayari get on tonight. Would love to see these promising youngsters given some game time.

 

[Mustafa II]

This is obviously a very winnable fixture ordinarily... I just hope our players have enough physically and mentally to seal it, after such a draining fixture just 72 hours ago.

Young players could be the difference for us tonight.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Just chatting to a Notts Forrest fan in a great Vietnamese restaurant, according to him it's a must win and he's none too positive.

 

[Albion my Albion]

I truly hope our hero, Solly March, scores the winnng goal and forgets the F.A. Cup penalty totally.

RDZ said in the press conference that Buonanotte will start tonight.

Buonanotte is confirmed to be starting.

 

[Bodian]

Couple of early goals from Solly tonight, and then we can play around with the ball at the back and take it easy for the rest of the game.

Ah, the Trent. What a beautiful river to take the boat on. Superb.
