Match Thread v Brighton

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,618]

Three changes, if I'm not mistaken.

[Yellow Fever 4,415]

All things considered I think this is good.

Fortune favours the brave !

[keelansgrandad 6,680]

I might see if I can find my old boots down the shed

[Thirsty Lizard 3,215]

Crumbs - if someone had told you at the beginning of the season that we'd be starting a Premier League game with Tettey at centre back...........

[lappinitup 629]

Tettey at CB. Gotta love the guy.

[Norfolk Dan 336]

Today is a day for soaking up the rain and the pressure.. 

Then hope we can get away with a quick break and snatch it. 

Hoping as ever for a big performance.

Should be plenty streams then.....

Up against it again with having to play Tettey at centre back. Big performances are needed all over the pitch, we may well lose but if we do it’s important we lose the right way and not just roll over

[king canary 8,757]

On a train to Falmer as we speak, can confirm the weather here is crap but City fans are loud.

He'll give his best wherever he is 😀

[Fuzzar 1,861]

Would take a draw if offered now.

[keelansgrandad 6,680]

Brighton have a good home record but the conditions look evil so its all about keeping mistakes to a minimum. I can't see or first time passing being any use. Keep the ball as long as you can. Give it to a jubilant Onel and let him rip them apart.

[keelansgrandad 6,680]

Apparently DF said he wanted more points than babies this week.

It's not a great situation is it?!  Daniel has been dealt a crappy hand in what was going to be a very tough season anyway.

[Flying Dutchman 766]

Mo and Todd on the bench... But who will be today's scapegoat?

DF hasn't thought this through.

Ah, it's ok, Kenny's on.

The masses will be happy 😉

[ROBFLECK 134]

I'm sorry I can't see us winning a Premier League game with that line up, let alone a Championship one... hope I'm wrong...

With the exception of Zimmermann for Tettey, that's the team that won eight Championship games in a row.

Who would you have  played then from the 100% fit players then

[Red Rufus 56]

Got to be Kenny or Steiperman 😀

Well Diane, I would have had Zimmermann playing...and I would play Vrancic...

Agreed, but they were on a roll then and you know how important confidence is! Our defending last season wasn't brilliant either...

[CANARYKING 708]

Roberts must wonder why he bothered

Not even on the Bench, does he have a Knock, if not, then DF must not be impressed with him for some reason.

Both out injured 

[JF 694]

given our defensive problems and lack of physicality in midfield we’ve completely wasted a loan spot and fee on Roberts

The way its going he's likely to get a game at centre half before the season is out.

[nutty nigel 7,902]

So that's that then. Is it going to be worth turning on the wireless?

OTBC CTID COYY 💛⚽💚🙃
