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

[Bold Seagull]

Because without Sanchez we would have lost inside 90 minutes v United. Multiple world class saves to keep us in it.
His distribution was fine apart from a few dodgy long balls that sailed over Solly and out of play.

That's fine, but the no.2 keeper gets the cup games. For Steele to be demoted from starting AND miss the semi final when he has also been excellent would have been more harsh imho.

 

[Eric the meek]

We've got 5 South Americans in that starting 11.

 

[US Seagull]

Think Julio is too lightweight to play up top by himself, could well be a false nine.

My thinking too. I love Julio and his boundless energy and hunger for goals, but if Forest sit back, I don't know if he'll be able to battle through them.

On the other hand, Forest might come at us instead. They are perilously close to being doomed and they might just decide it's now or never. They probably should.

I'm guessing Danny isn't 100%, but starting with Buonanotte and Enciso up front is flair.

I like it

They are both too light weight together, will be out muscled

 

[BBassic]

NF are one of the worst teams to ever play in the PL anything but a thrashing would be poor outcome.

Find myself feeling a touch uneasy about this sort of sentiment.

Can guarantee someone on another board said something like this about a, then, recently promoted Brighton side.

Who is currently injured?

 

[tigertim68]

Why can’t we have Webster , Dunk and Colwill playing in the same team

I'm thinking the exact opposite. Young kids trying outrageous flicks and skills around your area, rather than big lads trying to batter their way through

Who isn’t, more like!

Really bad feeling about tonight. Gonna be knackered and it’s a tough place to go. Only lost 2 at home all season. Ignoring the troll posts getting in early on the match day threads ready to moooooooaaaaaannnn at the first opportunity btw

Aye i know how you feel…a physical battle for sure no…against that they havnt won in a while and they havnt won any of their last five homes games…..but then the last home win was Man City

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

B365 offering 6/1 for Enciso to attempt more than 4.5 shots (on and off target), temping

 

[KZNSeagull]

My only concern re the front two is whether they can withstand being kicked up in the air for 90 minutes.

I'm slightly more optimistic now I see Enciso and Buonanotte in the first XI.

Reckon some of the older legs might struggle - youthful stamina is exactly what we need.

 

[Hendrax]

huge win today. Lets go. Solly to score

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

It’ll be Enciso as a false 9 surely, with Buonanotte as a ten. It’s Buonanotte’s position

If it works it’s the start of another £150m for TB

 

[Clive Walker]

Nervous
