    We're over due a win against them, today's the day. 2-0

    I would play kehrer think a proper cb will improve the defence and help Zouma out
  • LukerzLukerz
    We defend properly, we win. Brighton always have our number. Smart money on a draw but have a sneaky feeling it’ll be a 2-0 home win, where Brighton don’t really turn up.

    It works out cheaper. 😁

    Surely you should insist on a sell on percentage clause if she goes to someone else in a certain time limit. Actually I think I watch too much football and read too much about transfers

    Potter started the same XI against Man U and Newcastle, no reason to imagine he would change a line up that won at Old Trafford

    Sanchez
    Veltman Dunk Webster
    March MacAllister Calcedo Trossard
    Gross Welbeck Lallana

    The only player out injured is Jakub Moder, not expected back until February

    They signed LB/LM Pervis Estupinan from Villarreal on Tuesday but I don't see him displacing Leandro Trossard from the starting XI

    We've drawn the last four home games, the last time we beat them at home was 14 April 2012 in the Championship, 6-0 and Ricardo Vaz Te scored a hattrick

    Now I feel old...

    I remember the game well. I guess thats a given as we dont win 6-0 often

    I've no foundation for it but it'd be lovely to beat Brighton for a change as they've not lost to us with far worse squads in the recent past. A no logic win please!

    Going to need something special, Potter has consistently got Brighton playing better and better each season.

    Fabianski
    Coufal - Zouma - Kehrer - Cresswell
    Soucek - Rice
    Bowen - Fornals - Benrahma
    Antonio

    Spot on, Lukerz

    Subs: Areola, Johnson, Ogbonna, Lanzini, Ashby, Cornet, Coventry, Downes, Scamacca

    Brighton unchanged from Man U & Newcastle. Maupay on the bench
  • alderzalderz
    Our bench now looks pretty good. When Dawson is back, Emerson joins (hopefully) and maaaaaybe a CM comes in, that looks great.

    In bad news, Neal Maupay’s on the bench

    No real surprises

    Harsh on Johnson though, did well in shoehorned position so would've prefered he come in for Coufal who has been out of form a long time

    Bench is looking a lot healthier now

    Think we need a bit more attacking wise as Lanzini, Cornet & Scamacca is a little limited given we are allowed 5 subs.
  • stevesteve
    Good to see Benny starting think he has been better last couple of games
  • LukerzLukerz
    Hoping for similar fluidity as Forest but with the finishing touch. We know Brighton will have over 60% of the ball.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Main thing today is we don’t lose. Get a point of the board.
  • alderzalderz
    My fiancée reckons we’re going to win. When I told her our track record against Brighton she said “todays the day”
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    If she’s right then she’s a keeper.

    She’s far too short to play in goal, thorn
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Reading the BBC match build up. Are you sure we are playing today? Hmm
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    What’s the odds that Welbeck will score.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Zouma and Kehrer already looking a good pairing

    Both very quick and seem to be showing an instant understanding of when to cover one another

    That early Bennie chance, Antonio made a proper strikers run which may have been a better option, I can excuse him as he was running and the old red mist comes down, but it was a clever run by Antonio
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Bowen shoots and Antonio is offside but not active, ball strikes the defender and Antonio plays it and is given offside. I thought if it comes off the defender then you're not offside, or does it have to be the defender actively playing the ball rather than it bouncing off him (although he was deliberately blocking it imo) 🤔🤔🤔
  • LukerzLukerz
    Penalty for Brighton
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Oh dear, might be outside the box but clearly a clumsy challenge - cannot really complain
  • alderzalderz
    Oh good. That came from Zouma charging out and losing the ball

    Not there

    Zouma loses the ball and they attack us

    Kehrer makes a rash sliding challenge...penalty
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Does Kehrer even touch him?
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Horror show from Zouma and Kehrer.......
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    As predicted, Taylor couldn't wait to give a decision against us.
