[Albion] * Sporting Gijón vs. Brighton & Hove Albion *

[TSB]

Dickenson up front could be interesting

He'll be playing Ash's normal role I reckons

 

[Icy Gull]

Lots of changes and the other 1st team players in the 2nd half?

Upson, Calde, Koosh, Crofts, Ulloa and Kaz, plus other squad folk

 

[perseus]

Wide left forward, no doubt. Nice balance to that attack with Buckley on the other flank.

TEAM NEWS: ALBION v SPORTING GIJON

Albion: (4-3-3) Brezovan; El-Abd, Greer, Ince, Chicksen; Courtney-Richards, Bridcutt, Orlandi; Buckley, Dickenson, Barnes.

The 4-3-3 I learned played one winger and two forwards. Oscar might be an advocate of total football where players play out of positions in friendlies. Barnes looks like the target man?

 

[TSB]

No Jake. Richards comes in.

Courtney Richards starting instead of JFC

Instinctive control and snapshot finish by Barnes. Came, somewhat ironically from a punt upfield by Brezovan

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

Really hope Oscar sees that Barnes is best as a striker not a wide left midfielder...

 

[shaolinpunk]

Ay ay Ashley Ashley Barnes

Hopefully. Barnes is a very good striker but playing him on the left was detrimental to him and to the team.

I think he's doing his talking on the pitch, involved in or scoring just about all our goals at the moment. This is going to be the season Barnes proves himself to the doubters, let's hope it's playing for the Albion.
