Earlsfieldowl Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 We need some grit in midfield for this - we got bullied last time, plus they will be smarting from losing to Preston. It will be tough there - I'd start with 5 in midfield, bring Jones back and Fletcher on his own up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash77 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Wwood Hunt lees loovy fox Wallace bannan hutch reach Fessi winnall Would have started macca and fox today and gone for it from ko, but would apply the same 0-0 at ht tactic at brighton, then get macca on probably for wallace and go for it and auto promo! No fletch as we need to press and counter well, hopefully not pudil vs knockaert either! Edited January 14, 2017 by Ash77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMOwl72 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Would love Carlos to really attack and try and take the game to Brighton. Don't think anyone would have us down for the win but with Forestieri, Winnall and McManamen we might surprise them if we can keep it tight at the back and not get overrun in midfield.

19owl08 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Dunk & Duffy are too strong defenders. Not the kind that Forestieri plays well against. In October we played better with Hooper & Fletch up top with the Forestieri out wide. Pudil started left back but was replaced due to injury by Reach. Hutch was suspended so didn't play but Lee did. We dominated possession & had 5 times as many shots as them. I don't think we need to alter much. Fox will not start in my opinion. It would be a huge game to throw him into. We know Knockaert will kill us down our left so I think instead of worrying about him let's make their right back struggle with Fessi & Winnall. This would hopefully force Knockaert back. Id start Wallace over McManaman. Purely because he normally plays well against Brighton & I think McManaman offers more as an impact player than Wallace. This won't be the team as I'm sure Reach will be in there somewhere but it is what I'd go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Can't help but feel that Carlos will play it cagey to begin with because Brighton did a number on us at Hillsborough. Westwood Palmer Lees Loovens Reach Wallace Hutch Jones Bannan Forestieri Fletcher Don't think he'll want them to outnumber us in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need to be strong in the middle and break up their rhythm and play. i'd probably start with fletcher but depending on how this has goes, Winnall would feature at some stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I can't see a team of Brighton's professionalism allowing them to lose 2 games in a row. Best we can hope for is a point I feel. If we manage to get all 3, I might be a sign of a few heads looking over shoulders and a horrible feeling of deja vu for them. They'll want to do a number on us to avoid that feeling and with the flashbacks to the play-off semis. Toughest game of the season, definitely not a game for Forestieri wide left or the introduction of Morgan Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 We will play one up front, Fletcher, with FF just behind. Some of the sides on here are ludicrous. It's the best side in the league away, not the last ten minutes of Escape to Victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
