[Albion] Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Seagull58]

Big day for Wieffer and O'Riley. Time to show Tony he hasn't wasted his money.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

How many f*** ups before Jason Steele takes the jersey?

 

[Alex BH]

Not a great line up. Calamity Dunk, Wiefer and MOR in the same team. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Suspect this will be our last chance to stay in the hunt for Europe.

Hope the players play like it is.

I actually meant premier league era, as it seems a more recent phenomena

Our PL record in April is as follows (for those of a weak constitution you might want to look away now as it isn't great reading).

Pld 33 W6 D12 L15.

One slight consolation (for today anyway) is that 5 of the 6 wins have come away from home (the 6-0 over Wolves being our only home win and the last time we won any game in April).

 

[El Turi]

I wasn’t confident and am now even less so with that line up.

 

[The Fits]

MOR and Wieffer have to step up some time. They’re two of our more experienced players. Today is the the day….

 

[Mancgull]

I expect Wieffer has got the nod due to his height so that we have more height in the team to deal with Brentford’s physical attributes.
I like the idea of Mitoma off the bench in the second half as I doubt he’s fit enough for a full 90 minutes and he can certainly affect a game against tired legs.

We need to be right up for this one from the start.

So they haven't won at home in their last 8 games.

We all know how this pans out.

Lump on a home win.

3 of the 6 wins came in April 2023.

And to be fair we did also beat Spurs in that same month - but inexplicably lost after VAR......

 

[Merlin57]

Wow, thought the Argus Albion page was pessimistic..

 

[Marty McFly]

Actually in the UK today. Arrived a couple hours ago.

Which, ironically, makes it less likely I'll be able to watch the game.

I hope you can make it to Griffin Park in time!

 

[Solid at the back]

Yeah, we're the team EVERYONE wants to play if they're on an abysmal run.

Dr Brighton is now making house calls......

That's the spirit !

 

[Weststander]

Well done to FH in playing two proper CM pivots protecting the CB’s. Imho that should be a must in most PL games.

 

[Alex BH]

That's the spirit !

All we need now is Gruda to make yet another totally ineffective sub appearance to get a full house on duds bingo

 

[saafend_seagull]

Excellent. Best 11 except for veltman at right back, Webster for dunk, and Mitoma for welbeck.

Rutter walks into our best XI this season.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Wheel Wel-back!
