Thought I'd start this thread as they're our bogey team and we've never lost when I start a match thread (never done one).

West Ham vs Brighton, or as it's more commonly known, the Matthew Upson derby.

I worry that Noble has snuck his way back into the team and didn't quite do enough wrong last night to miss out, even though I think he badly slows us down.

Who starts? Who wins? Where's Antonio?

Back 4 or back 5? How many goals will Cresswell cost us?

    Saying you’ve never lost a match having never done a thread before is a bit like me saying I’ve never lost a 100m Olympic final :-)

    I so worry about this fixture every time it comes round. I’d take a scrappy 1-0 settled by an own goal right now.

    But that goes for around 75% of all fans. You are not alone.

    Baracks. I never knew we had so much in common. I also have never lost a 100m Olympic final.

    We need to revert to 3-5-2/3-4-3 formation as we don't have the pacey centre-backs or left-back for a 4-4-2 formation. We can play Johnson as a LWB. Maybe worth trying Yarmalenko at CF as he is more mobile than Haller. If Antonio is available, may be he can start and play the first half. Better to test him in the first-half. If he does not last, at least he can be replaced. The real conundrum is how to rest Soucek and Rice as there is no obvious replacement. I don't think Noble is up to it though Fornals can play centre-midfield. So my suggested team would be:

    Fabianski
    Balbuena - Ogbonna - Cresswell
    Coufal - Soucek - Rice - Johnson
    Bowen - Yarmalenko/Antonio - Benrahma

    Not to be picky but doesn’t the M23 turn into the A23 just south of Crawley?

    You were right. Motorways before football.

    Now I feel ridiculous for not noticing. It's not as I live in Crawley 🙈

    No worry, it's a home game. 😂
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Yes but the players need to know how to get there for the return game so if they check this site for reference we be safe 😂
