[Albion] Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[BevBHA]

Coventry at home. Massive chance to make another semi final if we win tonight

 

[London Irish]

Best draw possible - can we strengthen the team now

 

[newhaven seagull 85]

winners at home to Coventry in next round.

 

[chrisg]

So we are not really bothered about the cup this season then.

Ummm. The others are all injured

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Wow a decent draw for once!

 

[Rookie]

This has to be curtains for Baleba. RDZ has written him off totally.

Please tell me this is written sarcastically

 

[BevBHA]

Likely to be United vs Liverpool and also City vs Newcastle. This is now a massive opportunity with that draw!

 

[Krafty]

Coventry at home.

NEED to win this now. UTA!!!

 

[London Irish]

Peupion must be doing something in training. It is puzzling after giving Benecio that little run out in the white hot cauldron of Spurs but now he gets passed over

 

[A1X]

Can we beat Wolves please before getting carried away with dreams of Coventry?

 

[Munchkin]

Baleba will start Saturday. Make sense not to risk him tonight IMO.

 

[Reddleman]

Please tell me this is written sarcastically

He’s got a point. Absolutely ruined by injuries against a team who love to counter attack and he still doesn’t get a start. Not saying it the end but it’s not much of show of faith .

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Bye to the semis for the winner of this game.

 

[MJsGhost]

Good grief. Poopinyon. Couldnt get a game at 4th division level, better luck now.

It'll been even sweeter when he plays well now.
Thank you!

(That's your intention, right?)

Honestly, that is my life atm. I'm learning the exact spots near the bedroom door where it creaks at the moment. Equally it is satisfying when you nail it and feel like a ninja.

But no, I won't miss this bit of their early years!

My daughter seems like she's going to be really good with the old sleep stuff, but my son has always HATED going to sleep and fights it with the burning intensity of 1,000 suns.

Before you know it, he'll be doing the same, so you don't know what time he got in.

 

[The Optimist]

This has to be curtains for Baleba. RDZ has written him off totally.

From the club website two days ago:
RDZ “We have only one playmaker in our squad who is Billy, but I think Baleba has that quality but he’s very young. He is new in Brighton and didn’t play many games since arriving last summer, but for sure he can become one of the best Premier League players in the future.”

 

[trueblue]

In RDZ we trust but some times it is baffling. What does Baleba have to do to start and why give BBB recent minutes to start Peupion.

Hopefully we stay in game and the bench can work its magic .

There's a Premier League match in 3 days time and a huge European tie next week. Is Baleba better at this point than our more experienced Polish international? Seems very raw to me. I'm glad Moder is getting a chance as I think he'll be the better choice for the pressure games to come - if he can get back to his best.

 

[Stat Brother]

I bet RDZ wishes he knew the draw before naming that team.

He might have picked some winners.

 

[GT49er]

I can't bear delay as well. I have a Singapore service that's 20 second delay which I can just about hack. My mate has given me his Dutch service which is an incredible 5 seconds behind. But in Dutch !

If you want commentary in English, try Radio Sussex via MyAlbion TV - that runs on a fair old time lag. With a bit of luck it might synchronise!

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Must reserve judgement until we've seen how the game turns out of course, but on first reaction, it does feel like a team picked with other priorities in mind, even allowing for the injuries. I'll be delighted if he proves me wrong, of course, but Peupion couldn't get in a Cheltenham team that went ten games without a goal, still less a win, in League One. But he starts at Wolves in the fifth round of the Cup?

Go and spank one into the top bin, kid, and make an idiot of me, please.
