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

[Albion my Albion]

I just got back from a run to Chicago Midway & the next doesn't start till 17:45 BST. Quite the lucky timing.

I have a funny feeling we're playing three centre backs and only one is a centre back.

 

[SeagullDubai]

It’s going to be two nil at half time

 

[Swegulls]

No Cashin in the starting team, I am already booing from afar

He must be quite bad? Ship him to us in Sweden, maybe he’ll shine in Allsvenskan

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Blimey, such negativity already.

I share a lot of the concerns but at least wait until half time for a quick moan and then, if it really was as bad as feared, unleash at full time.

For the next 10 minutes I'm going to be positive. Hopefully that positivity will be rewarded by the final whistle.

Come on Brighton, last chance saloon for the Europe express.

BBC showing it as our usual 4-2-3-1 - but with Wieffer at RB, Hinsh and Ayari CM.

This is true but they are just guessing, sometimes with hilarious results like the time they had Lamptey starting up front with Webster. It gets updated about 5 minutes in usually to be correct

Can Allsvenskan afford £9M? - we'd want to get our money back!

As are we all!

No pressure on this game, so this could go either way. Either we will smash them if they don't get an early goal or they will get the early goal and you'll see a total collapse and a very toxic atmosphere.

It is like trying to predict what Trump will do next.

We chased the bugger for ages!!

Nah, you’re right, not even if all teams come together and split the cost.

Massive pressure imo

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.....

I just can’t help feeling there’s so much bullshit about this fit enough to start stuff. Solly gave a media interview a few days ago about how he wasn’t fit enough to start lol

If I had a house, I’d bet my house on us NOT winning today

Fair comments, me too, even if I have been posting negative thoughts. COME ON YOUR STRIPES!

He'll come on for the last 20 minutes when we are 4-0 up to give him a decent taste of PL football.

That 8th position very much up for grabs so let's do this boys
