owlZfan84 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'd be very tempted to play FF up top on Saturday. Get him buzzing in and around Duffy and Dunk feeding off Fletcher. They might be big lads, but they'll hate FF running at them for 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont mention how many they took to Elland Road, they will deny it, or the fact that they didn't sell out down here for the league game last season.... I don't mind Brighton but when did they create a sort of pseudo-rivalry against us, they couldn't even sell out a play off semi final so I'm not sure what they're on about, and also whats this about having games near us? Surely the best thing about having no other clubs near you is that your catchment area is huge, therefore resulting in stronger support, which just doesn't match up to the support they currently have. The main reason I'm happy with our support is that we've been poo poo for years yet we still get over 20,000. We share a city with a team that has, and it kills me to say it, an impressive following for a league one side and we still get over 20,000. We do have quite a few teams in close proximity to us and we still get over 20,000. If we were a one team city like Leeds or Newcastle, who knows what our support could be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Home attendances have been 25kish all season. That's with Rotherham, Barnsley and Blades all within 10 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Not too happy when we are cast as favorites - we tend not to produce the goods. They will still be decent and hard to break down...it will be a tight game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Owl Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hopefully Pudil will be back so Reach can come into midfield, Wallace delivering from the right, Reach delivering from the left, Fletcher in the middle getting on the end of them with Forestieri and Lee feeding on the loose balls.

Josesemedosjockstrap Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Their away support is pretty good given the distances they travel, their local games are circa 40 mile away. Our away support is very good but we sometimes over egg the pudding, our average is boosted by the local games we have but I am pleasantly surprised at our numbers this term, Blackburn on a Tuesday used to be sub 2K, our away support is up on this time last term despite being on Sky twice compared to once. As for our home gates, it's very encouraging that we are on 27K average, and just under 25K per game are home fans, despite the pricing. Perhaps Mr Chansiri is very savvy. Oh and where is that Leeds fan who said "You'd never get our gates with our pricing" Sheffield Wednesday v Nottm Forest 27,350, Leeds v Ipswich 22,554 I suspect our turnover will be much closer but we will be let down due to the farcical sponsorship pricing.

A lot like us then? Edited September 30, 2016 by Great Big Galaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I went to the 2nd leg last season of the play off. The atmosphere they created was to staged for me with all the flags and the stadium announcer geeing them up, yes it was loud but it seemed to lack passion from deep down, it was pulled out of them instead of it being released naturally. The atmosphere at Hillsborough evolved as the game played out, with the camera lights spontaneously appearing added to the drama of the night. The Wednesday players reacted to the crowd at Hillsborough , I don't think the Brighton players did to the same level at the Goldstone 2 ground. Probably looking at it with blue tinted glasses but heigh ho it was a gay old night at Brighton, Wednesday fans probably drowned out by the Brighton fans but never stopped singing. It was marvellous. Just hope we can play somewhere near as we can, Brighton will up for this, they are no pushovers even with their injury problems. Looking forward to it.

owlZfan84 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 MASSIVE news that Sidwell will start in CM for them IMO. He's so static. Lee and Bannan's movement will cause him no end of problems. Huge plus, but still no gimme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBQ24 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Will be a massive win if we can get it. Break the barrier we had at the end of last season where we hadn't beaten a single side on the top 6, I expect Brighton to be there again this season.

Onge Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Can't stand Brighton - the club or the place. I lived there a few years and can't think of less deserving city to have a successful team. Hope we batter them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
