[Taybha]

[dougdeep]

We should beat them, they are struggling to put a team together at the moment.

They can always have El-Abd if they only turn up with ten.

 

[gullshark]

Hopefully this will be another game like Yeovil last season, not too warm, glorious sunshine and the goals raining in the right end.

i haven't felt this confident about a Brighton game for years. I can just see us battering them 4 or 5 nil. :mendoza:

 

[dougdeep]

Mind you, if we lose it will be unbearable on here.

It will be for Russel Slade should that happen.

 

[Taybha]

im sure stockport are not thinking of just making the numbers up and probably see saturday as a chance to get thier 1st win of the season.

i would be more than happy with a 1-0 win and hope our pre season signings do the gel thingy i keep hearing about.

[Husty]

If we dont win today serious questions need to be asked of our team

 

[Everest]

We should beat them, they are struggling to put a team together at the moment.

Yet they're above us in the table. Great to be a seagulls fan right now, isn't it?

[Mackenzie]

My team for the game, Kuipers suspended?

Smith (GK)

Tunnicliffe (RB)
Elphick (CB)
Virgo (CB)
Whing (LB)

Bennett (RW)
Dicker (CM)
Crofts (CM)
Wright (LW)

Forster (F)
Dickinson (F)

Subs.
Davies
Cox
5 others

4-4-2 with two wingers supplying the big bastard and clever little(ish) player up front, the two fellas in the middle to win the ball and supply the wingers/forwards. Keep it simple, division 3 players forget things.

 

[Taybha]

i like the look of above team tho im not sure mr slade will drop cox,i would like to see dicker get a start,i cant fathom why he has not already

 

[The Wizard]

Good news that Slade is thinking about going 4-4-2 and giving Dicker his first start.

Andrew Crofts's chances of featuring against Stockport this weekend are only 50/50 according to manager Russell Slade.

The midfielder suffered a nasty knock to his shin following a horror tackle from Huddersfield's Andy Butler on Tuesday night.

Crofts will be assessed as late as possible, but Gary Dicker could be in line to make his first appearance of the season against his former club.

Jamie Smith will also be hoping to keep his starting place after being sacrificed on Tuesday following Michel Kuipers's red card at the Galpharm Stadium.

Kuipers serves a one match ban for that dismissal, and so Graeme Smith will make his full debut between the sticks. First year pro Josh Pelling could therefore be handed a place on the bench.

New signing Elliott Bennett goes straight into the squad this weekend, and is likely to feature at some point on the right flank.

Gary Hart (toe), Jake Wright (hamstring) and Jim McNulty (ankle) both miss out, while Glenn Murray is due to have surgery next week for his troublesome hernia.

With Nicky Forster edging nearer to fitness, Slade might be tempted to start the striker alongside Liam Dickinson in a bid to fire Albion to their first victory of the season.

Stockport boss Gary Ablett today failed with his request to the Football League to bring in Chelsea youngster Liam Bridcutt on loan as a replacement for the injured Matty Mainwaring.

Under league rules clubs in administration cannot bring in new players if they already have 20 fit professionals available.

May I just say that last sentence about having 20 players fit is utter nonsense from the Football League, once AGAIN.

An easy 3-0 win for the stripes.
