The only way is S6 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Make all the precious, overpaid lazy fekkers that got 3 points out of 12 over Xmas & the New Year start this game & earn some respect by showing the same commitment as the fans. Dropping them gives them a rest they don't deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably in a downbeat mood because they have the incompetent EFL clowns working out their punishment for a blatantly odd piece of financial accounting. Would put a dampener on the season if you knew it doesn’t really matter how well you do, you’re likely getting a points deduction that will take you below the top six. Plus they’ve lost a few on the bounce. You know what we are like when that happens! I feel they lost their best chance a few years ago and will need some serious surgery. They don’t have a coherent, joined up approach to running a club. They haven’t aligned their academy, loans and first team up. They just hire in mercenaries and get hammered. Must hurt to look at the Blades squad and how they are dying for each other. Some of the WEDNESDAY players look like they don’t give a poo. I feel for the fans, but since this is the approach for most clubs, I only have so much empathy to spare them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Dawson Odubajo Iorfa Lees Fox Murphy Luongo Lee Harris Fletcher Forestieri We need a strong line up or it could be embarrassing. Changes inevitable after a busy festive schedule but losing 4 on the bounce won't do anything for team confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1Owl Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 This match comes at a bad time but I'd play all the same slack ass, over paid players that let us down over Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Owl Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I guess changes to the team are inevitable for this fixture. Because the cup isn't our priority. We are so close to the playoffs, so the league has to be our focus. Also I'm sure there are players that need a period of recovery after playing a lot of football over the xmas period. I just hope we keep the number of team changes down to a sensible level (a maximum of 4 I'd say). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have ANY wing backs in the squad and only Reach could do any sort of job there. And don’t suggest Harris because that would take away all of his qualities. He can’t defend at all. On 12/12/2019 at 03:41, Kagoshimaowl said: Fox, Lee and Iorfa have never been wing backs. Penney is not even at the club and Odubajo is a liability. Then Reach can play the role but he’s poor defensively. Also, you have to bench Harris or play him in an unfamiliar role. As I said, ridiculous. Glad you aren’t our manager! For what it's worth, I think the formation that @Ash77 has suggested would work fine and get the best out of some of our better players.

That said, paste this on the dressing room wall and let's hammer the feckers. Would love to spend 90 minutes winding their fans up. Nope it goes back longer than 2016 when a few Brighton fans signed up and got a bit precious. Think we beat them in the subsequent game 1-0. They took the massive joke badly for some reason. But they do have a history of creating rivalries with teams miles away. Like Palace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Only changes I expect are Odubajo in, Borner and Iorfa at the back. Luongo in midfield. Murphy down one of the flanks and Fletcher and Rhodes upfront. If some kids are involved, it’ll probably be from the bench?

oldishowl Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Have seen Brighton a couple of times on tv. Good footballing side. Pass through midfield. Obviously they won’t play their best eleven either but feel we need 3 in central midfield for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I was wondering why we got K LEE fit again & never played him? Perfect link man between midfield & forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Those Brighton fans... Still bitter about the play off semi final? Youd think it was us who went up going by that. If we are not careful, they might try and start a fake rivalry with us like they do with Palace. Bloody tinpot, plastic outfit. In many ways, they're perfectly suited to the PL.
