It's not really the time for anything radical like two up front I guess. Makes sense to go with that.

That team will not out battle Cardiff, AJ will go missing after 1st 60/40 challenge he loses, can see Pröpper disappearing as well.

Forget the lineup. Putting my CH hat on I have come up with this. Cardiff probably have to win this game. This means Cardiff will have to attack us at some point. That means we can sit back and defend until Cardiff throw too many players forward and we can hit them on the counter.
Net result, a 1-0 win or a 0-0 draw.
Summary : we will defend for 90 mins

That would be my team, although Kayal in midfield would be good, but I'm not paid to manage a football club
So an early red card as well, probably Duffy.
The slowest side in premier league history?
Reading one of the other threads I got kind of excited about the possibility of playing with Murray and Andone up front so a little disappointed. Also think it’s very harsh on Bissouma who has easily been our best centre midfielder recently.
Personally I’d stick with Montoya at right back too.

In recent years I would say the majority of players to have come from the dutch league up been woefully short.

Bruno is in for Montoya.

This. Kayal and Stephens in CM would give steel to counter Warnock’s in-their-faces approach.

Why no Izquierdo do you think ? Simple as not fit enough to start or just more impact from the bench ?

Deservedly so. Stains and Bmuff repeatedly counter attacked down our right, as Montoya was left 50 yards up field after another inept ‘attacking’ move. The number one duty of any FB is to defend; Montoya doesn’t.

This looks like the most sensible team to me. March and AJ as the wide men and Gross back in. Bit surprised by Bruno but you know he'll be giving it everything and will stay calm when others would lose their heads.

I doubt the players themselves even know the team yet, so this is until tosh.
As for slating Montoya as “always getting caught up field”, this is down to the formation, the FBs are expected to provide the width, it’s bollox. It’s fine if you’re Liverpool, City, Barca, etc. Doesn’t work for Brighton.

I'd hope that the team for tomorrow know they will be playing by now. Re the authenticity of this poster's knowledge, it's worth looking at his previous 3 'guesses' on team selection. In fairness I think that the club should see where their leak is as having the likely team on NSC probably isn't sensible.

We’re not the standard of any of those clubs, miles behind, they have great CB’s and DM’ers who can cover when a FB flies forward.
We play a flat back 4, where it’s vital that Bernardo and Montoya stay compact with Dunk and Duffy. If Montoya ventures forward, someone else needs to be on the front foot to support Duffy, if not, then Montoya needs to be conservative.
Hughton gained almost all of our PL points from a foundation of massed defence. Now Montoya charges forward.
In the NS stand we witnessed Redmond and Fraser destroying him time and time again, right in front of us.

strong and stable with me, or...
He doesn't attack very well either.

Sadly true. Bruno was a one off it seems.

Hopefully the club will set a few canary traps to catch the insider culprit as it is a joke that this info is available to the opposition in advance of every game now.
