Walsall versus Brighton and Hove Albion - Official Match Thread

if the pitch is as heavy as it sounds, then I think it's a good call for today. Not too much lightning wing play or fancy football takes place on a ploughed field. we need to be solid, and navarro just in front of the back 4 works for me.

Gus may also be protecting Jimmy Mac because of the heavy surface.

No Hoyte in the squad? Suspended or just left out?

Not so sure about having two new full backs starting. In someways I hope Calderon is absolutely shite because whats happened to player of the season Andy Whing?

The team he has picked confirms we will lose, hope I am wrong.

I didn't say that, but from what I've seen of him since he came into the team, he's been pretty poor, particularly at Torquay and Wycombe.

That sounds fair, although we did manage to beat those two teams. Lets hope JM steps it up now he has competition for his place.

Agree with what you say. It's going to be a slog today. Fitness is a concern.

Interesting pov. Who would you have picked?

Wingless Wonders

Why do we persist with playing 3 centre midfielders?

Because playing with two wingers is daft. You can only play on one wing at one time.

Good turn out 500 here roughly

Rubbish. You knock it from side to side to stretch the oppo

Are you CERTAIN that a defence that includes Painter and Calderon will concede goals?

sounds like a park game
