chicken 2,604 Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Videos: Articles:The Pink'Un has it's usual article on the pre match presser here.This week, the bbc doesn't seem to have bothered with it's usual pre match piece... this is the page it should be at... The club has it's own preview of the match here, at canaries.co.uk.Brighton and Hove Albion have their own pre match piece up on their site.In, out's, shaking it all abouts: NORWICH: Aarons is out (hamstring/illness), Kabak potentially out for the season with hamstring injury picked up playing for Turkey. Omobamidele (back) and Idah (knee) remain out injured. Williams (ankle) is touch and go as is Sargent (ankle). Zimmermann, Hanley and Byram are available for selection after missing our last game. BRIGHTON: Caicedo(illness), Webster and Lallana all out with the latter two having returned to training but not yet match fit to be in consideration. Referee: Simon Hooper. Assistants: Scott Ledger, Derek Eaton. Fourth official: Thomas Bramall. VAR: Kevin Friend. Assistant VAR: Simon Beck.A little bit of knowledge: Brighton were the only professional football team in Sussex until 2011 when Crawley Town were promoted to the football league. The club was founded on the 24th June 1901 at the Seven Stars public house and originally called Brighton and Hove United. Their club badge originally features dolphins after the crest of Brighton. The Seagulls were rumoured to later be adopted by a chairman who heard fans at a Palace game chant 'Seagulls' in response to their chants of 'Eagles'.Rays Funds for the Community Sports FoundationNutty has his PUPs thread up and running as usual. Please do go and take a look and take part in all of the fun.Something extra... Edited April 2, 2022 by chicken 4 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,933 Posted April 2, 2022 Is that a subs bench or a nursery? Can see why McLean's at 10 though, you'd hope Lees-Melou, Gilmour and Normann between them can keep things relatively organised in there. Still don't know what Lungi's got to do to get a crack. That said, both Rashica and Pukki work hard to shore a flank up and it could work. We'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jambomo 215 Posted April 2, 2022 Well when you look at the bench, it doesn’t look like there were an awful lot of options. Where’s Rupp? No Sargent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,373 Posted April 2, 2022 Injuries play a part in the selection but I've given up trying to understand how Billy continues to burgle a place in the starting XI. He's not been up to standard from GW1. Unbelievable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing, but I get the impression his ultra-phlegmatic, calm style doesn't endear him - I could be utterly wrong, but I get the impression some misunderstand it and think "he doesn't care so much".

overthebordercanary 140 Posted April 2, 2022 I know injuries have affected who Smith can pick, but having to play Normann who doesn't want to play for us alongside Gilmour & McClean means we are playing with 8 men to start off with. Oh and Welbeck is starting for them, he always scores against us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the Germans 1,075 Posted April 2, 2022 If I was the board, I'd sack him right now for picking Gilmour again. Kenny is not great but he at least is athletic and can put himself about, with the right partner, he could 'do a job' but Gilmour is awful. Just awful.
