[Albion] What would you like to see in our last few games?

[Barham's tash]

Welbeck and Maupay back on the scoresheet.
Caicedo without Bissouma, as it's something we'll likely need to get used to.
Sarmiento and Ferguson not just warming the bench. Roberts and Offiah too.
Webster back to the starting XI.

Some contract extensions signed.

Good job Biss misses the next two games then due to suspension isn’t it?

We’ve got a bit of a balance problem in midfield without him for next year. As promising as Caicedo is - and he looks incredible - our tactics and fluidity in the last two games feels like their pairing was pivotal to enable Mwepu and McAllister to prosper. Who would you play as a central pair presuming Biss goes and Moder doesn’t appear before the new year?

 

[Swansman]

At least two more wins, some game time for young players and new contracts for Tross and Maupay (and Biss in the unlikely case he'd like to tag along).

 

[zamora the merrier]

A goal from open play please

 

[Machiavelli]

Caicedo in until the end of the season, going to be pivotal next term
Plenty of game time for Sarmiento
Maupay to get a few goals to restore his confidence
Sausage rolls in Lower West

I'll go with this, although I don't care about one of these suggestions.
Caicedo's last two performances warrant a run of games. I don't think game time for Sarmiento constitutes a gamble, considering he's started in the PL already.
As others said, go for it. Try and finish as high up the table as possible, which will earn us extra and be a good recruiting tool for the c3 that we need to add to the squad over the summer.

 

[Machiavelli]

Good call. Ali Mac is the absolute priority. Tross would be a bonus but, if not, we need to prepare for life without him next season. Maupay needs to work out what he wants.

 

[Machiavelli]

On the bench is the first step and significantly different to playing.

Sarmiento is the obvious starter given his unfortunate debut at West Ham. Ferguson, personally I would give an opportunity to.

I'd also like to see more of Sarmiento this season, and think we will, although might not be as a starter.
I really don't want to see Ferguson. He's played in the PL and showed that he's not ready for it, which is hardly surprising given his age. A year out on loan in the Championship will do him the world of good.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Meaningless possession is a busted flush. With safety assured, would like to see the team turn it on like we've very recently had confirmed they still can do. Especially at home, obviously, even if it means running the risk of being on the wrong end of a 4-3 thriller. THAT'S entertainment

I know you weren't asking me, but I do wonder if we shift our shape without Bissouma. We've got Webster to come back, which he should. If we're going to play two sitting (D)CMs, will probably select from Lallana, Ali Mac, Caicedo and Alzate.

 

[Napier]

A goal from open play please

It would also be good to see us score direct from a free kick, or even a penalty.

 

[el punal]

Bring your own binoculars.

And you just know that, with the bottle tops and flasks, the stewards will confiscate them at the turnstiles.

 

[brighton_tom]

Caicedo starting every game would be a massive boost to his development.

Sarmiento given a decent amount of minutes.

Maupay getting to 10+ goals for the season.

 

[brighton_tom]

Possible achievements...

Finish higher than 15th in the table (our current best ever)
Finish on more than 41 points (our current best ever)
Finish top 10

 

[raymondo]

Always play the best 11.

Professional to the end, each place is worth £m’s.

Save experimenting to preseason friendlies and league cup games.

If a youngster has earned an EPL start or subs appearance, fair enough. Sarmiento looks the real deal.

Yep...and was the snow good?

 

[Invicta]

Goals, at least 2 home wins, noise, decent singing and the Amex getting its mojo back!

 

[Weststander]

Yep...and was the snow good?

Amazing. So lucky, the Alps had had a warm and windy (= icy pistes) few months. But we got a 3 day blizzard before we arrived.

Just a few injuries

Re Ferguson, I actually think in his brief cameo he showed a lot more than Welbeck was at the time. (Welbeck has played really well last two games).

I agree re a loan, but if he’s fit again, would like to see him even if it’s for 45 mins.

He looked incredibly fit when playing for the u23s against Leeds. Amazing strength and persistence for the goal.

 

[Arkwright]

More points, a top twelve finish, meaning more prize money and hopefully more money for the summer window.

Be good to improve our home form which is disappointing.

How did the U23s look?

Particularly Leonard, we have a few with real promise, still a big step up, but there seems a lot of quality
