What's the best strike force you've ever seen against the Albion outside the top division?

[Skaville]

Who was up top with Dean Ashton when Crewe stuffed us at Withers? There was a side at Priestfield that annihilated us. They were newly promoted from the conference and had a couple of players who went on to great things. Maybe Halifax?

 

[dennis]

Wright and Bright too!
Also Sherringham and Cascarino, 2 down inside 3 minutes if I remember rightly.

 

[Grombleton]

That's where the invalid cars for the disabled, parked.

Nice one, cheers.

 

[Murray 17]

In recent times , Vydra and Deeney at the amex absolutely slaughtered us that night .

This is the only time I think we've been completely outplayed in a league game at the Amex.

Can't believe Vydra has gone back to Watford - would have liked to have seen him in our side this season. If we could have afforded to buy Baldock and pay his wages, can't see why we couldn't have got him.

 

[Grombleton]

Can't believe Vydra has gone back to Watford - would have liked to have seen him in our side this season. If we could have afforded to buy Baldock and pay his wages, can't see why we couldn't have got him.

He would have been brilliant, but it depends on a) whether we wanted him and b) if he wanted to come - go to a different club entirely or go back to a club he enjoyed considerable success at? I don't think it's always a case of "we can afford him = he will join".

 

[Taybha]

Whats even more disconcerting is Vydra cant get in to the starting line up at Watford !

Blimey, that was painful to watch.

Mrs Grombleton watched it as well and has one question: Why was there a car (a Reliant Robin?) parked in the corner? It can be seen at about 6:30.

Was before my time but in later 70's I seem to remember a disabled guy in a blue robin at every game. Did he park at the side of the pitch?

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

Ellington and Roberts, ably assisted by Kavanagh, Bullard, McCulloch and Teale destroyed us within quarter of an hour at Withdean. They were were superb that day. 4-2 was an incredibly flattering scoreline.

Flew in from Switzerland hoping we were going to sneak it that day. After 15 mins I thought it was going to be double figures...

Geoff Horsfield for Halifax?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

This was the forward line up i was going to give too. (Although i only saw a 2-2 draw as a arrived several minutes late to the ground) There may have been better but this sticks in my mind.

There was congestion, I seem to recall. I was usually quite prompt and sat down as they stroked in the second.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Lester, Johnson and Harewood up front for Forest against us at the City Ground - they weren't the best individually but as a collective their movement destroyed us for 70 mins (we were 3-0 down) - then we got 1 back and Mr Jones hit a 35 yd screamer to bring it back to 3-2 which it ended... If we'd had another 10 mins I reckon we would have won as the last 20 was wave after wave of attacks... But back to the original question, those 3 ripped us to shreds for that first 70 mins and I haven't seen anything like it since

Could not agree more. The interplay from that forest front 3 was something else that night.

Went to the pub with some forest supporting mates after the game. They talked about offering 3/4 million for Jones after that display. His best performance in a brighton shirt by a mile.

 

[catfish]

Bannister & Warboys

Quite. Who can ever forget that day?

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Try too,then some Charlie opens a thread about good strike force against us...Lol!

 

[The Birdman]

Yes Warboys and Bannister... smash and grab as they were called.

Agree with the above is the one always sticks in my mind. Ward and Mellor must have had the same affect on many other teams fans!

 

[BrianWade4]

Bull and Mutch at Wolves were a hell of a good partnership

Good call

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Agree with the Wigan votes. Also remember Sheffield Wednesday ripping us apart 0-4 at the Goldstone with an ageing Trevor Francis up front giving a real masterclass on forward play

yeah was at the the sheff wed game (night match) glad someone else remember's this

was at the 8-2 aswell,but it become a bit of a comedy show towards the end,the north stand were even cheering the Rovers goals,it was that unreal

 

[daveinprague]

With Cloughs son on tv as a guest with his father asking to see the 8 goals again. ****

 

[withdeanwombat]

Bannister & Warboys

Don't..........just don't.

 

[Mackenzie]

Another vote for Sheridan and Francis in our 4-0 loss against Wednesday. Several classes above us that night.
