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

[Kalimantan Gull]

No Solly on the bench either. Who is Knight?

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

Win 5-0 or lose 5-0. Remains to be seen

 

[golddene]

Either The Fabman has a cunning plan or we’re f*cked today, hoping for the former but expect the latter !

 

[Coldeanseagull]

No Solly on the bench either. Who is Knight?

I don't think it's Dick.....probably Joe

 

[dwayne]

Massively risky line up. I said yesterday this has villa away vibes from last season. But who knows... Strong players in the first 11. Not an awful lot on the bench

Feel for lamptey and Hinshelwood. Could be hung out to dry.

 

[trueblue]

Doesn’t say much for FH’s faith in O’Riley and Gomez.
One man midfield it is!

Or you might think 'Doesn't say much for FH'...

Let's see how it pans out I suppose.

 

[NorthStandSeagull]

So let’s not trust the midfielders on the bench and just play with Hinsh on his own?!

 

[The Optimist]

Where's Baleba?

On the toilet if the stories of a sickness bug affecting the squad are true? (Or going to Chelsea for £150m!?!?)

 

[pb21]

With Veltman and Welbeck starting we've got a good chance to get something, slightly concerned about Lamptey though...

 

[dwayne]

Or you might think 'Doesn't say much for FH'...

Let's see how it pans out I suppose.

He's right not to play O'Riley, he's nowhere near ready. Would be very harsh to start Gomez as well. He's got this one right. Beyond bare bones in centre mid

 

[Hometownglory]

I'd be pissed off if I was O'Riley. Even Gomez must have a slight raised eyebrow
...

 

[Coldeanseagull]

The midfielders on the bench probably can't last the whole game, so bringing them on from half time to an hour will be more benenficial

 

[Krafty]

Are we fielding any midfielders?

 

[Washie]

I remember our midfield being useless against them earlier in the season as Forest just bypassed it. Maybe that's Fab's thought process?

 

[Rdodge30]

Maybe if Ferguson was in better form we could play him - rest Hinsh and have 6 up front

 

[Dick Head]

So excited

were loose

 

[Seasider78]

Brave or stupid line up from FH let’s hope we are all shocked and this is some sort of tactical mad genius

 

[Krafty]

Anderson & Danilo versus Hinshelwood? That doesn’t seem like a fair midfield battle!

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Well it is an interesting selection!

On the plus side NF cannot have expected that. Maybe the idea is to wreck their plans.

Joe Knight. U21 midfielder and walking yellow card from mile oak
