[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United *** Official Match Thread ***

[TottonSeagull]

Unbelievable, 2 midfielders in back 4 and 3 defenders on the bench!! This could get interesting!!!

 

[Flounce]

My gut feeling is Weiffer at CB and Baleba in midfield.

I f***ing hope so, if not my opinion on FH’s tactics will be proven to me. Cashin should be starting imo.

Make me look a mug please FH

 

[Reddleman]

That team is absolutely baffling. I do understand Veltman and Lamptey aren’t ready for 90 minutes but surely we could give each 45 minutes. I fear the worst.

 

[Pliny the Gull]

Here's the plan. We will go 2 nil down by half time.
No probs. Strong bench guys. Trust the process.

Surprised RDZ has left out Pedro, Rutter, Georginio, Julio and Igor. Lost the dressing room.

 

[HeaviestTed]

Setting off for Upton Park at 11.
You won’t catch me out this week, I know Upton Park is in East Ham.

Did you forget the clocks went back?

 

[Balders]

Personally I find it mildly amusing some supporters attitudes to players coming back from injury, if they are fit enough for the bench, then obviously they are fit enough to start! There is a difference and this is not anything FH specific - the majority of sides name players coming back from injury on the bench. So it will be another stick to beat FH with, if the result this afternoon doesn't go our way. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.......

I will admit that the Cashin situation is puzzling - there must be a reason, probably one we are all not privy to. Again if he'd played Cashin and we didn't get a result, that's another stick to beat FH with. Dammed if you do and dammed if you don't, FH has to take full responsibility, supporters take none, but always have a stick to beat with.....

Oh dear - Wieffer AND O'Riley. Not sure that fills me with any confidence. Would really liked to have seen Rushworth given a go and Bart given a rest too. Think Rushworth will be off in the summer now - our loss.

 

[Alex BH]

Shocking line up. Forgetting drawing. We’re gonna lose with those duds

Shocking line up. Forgetting drawing. We’re gonna lose either with those duds

Defeatist!

Solly, Solly starts. Solly, Solly starts.

Is that a good thing? His fitness levels only allow him 45 mins

I like both of them

Yep, the Cashin situation is a bit baffling to me

 

[Alex BH]

Defeatist!

Oh come of it. a weakened side with players playing out of position whilst we’re on a bad run of form against a team in the bottom half of the table. This has Leicester mark 2 written all over it except West Ham are a slightly more competent team!

 

[AmexRuislip]

Could do a job

 

[JBizzle]

Yep, the Cashin situation is a bit baffling to me

Maybe he's just not cutting it in training? Probably a bit of a jump from bottom of the Championship to mid-table Premier League

 

[jimhigham]

But… Solly’s back!

 

[SittingbourneSeagull]

Look to pass forwards at pace not backwards, get the crowd going, leave the centre backs to defend, if we lose 2-3 no problem.

What centre backs?

 

[Flounce]

…..

 

[coyotitokino]

O'Riley and Ayari to score!
