Brighton (a) pre-match thread

He's preparing for every eventuality isn't he, even though deep down I suspect he thinks we can get it done and dusted by the 70 min mark.

That's providing we don't spend 60 minutes passing it sideways.

I think Pep will have the guys bang up for this and i'm hoping for a fast start, hopefully we can get an early goal to help to settle the nerves.

Is Ferny available for this one?

I wouldn;t want Ferny and KDB starting as we need match fitness, one or the other.

No dinho,kev a maybe

I had this bad dream last night. I was watching the game through a window (somehow) and the opposition were packing their defence and actually had a large piece of furniture in front of their goal. The final score was 0-0, and I was so depressed. I woke up and ...such a wave of relief that it was only a dream.
Fortunately, we don't believe now that dreams foretell the future. Oddly, our opponents were in Burnley colours.

If Kev is fit enough to play 60 mins he has to start for me

I'm going to be controversial here and say that I don't want KdB to start the game if he isn't fit enough to play the full game.

Whenever KdB has returned from injury he has taken at least 2-3 games to get back into being influential for us, otherwise the teams rhythm just gets broken up unnecessarily.

I'm more than happy for KdB to come on in the second half as and when needed, otherwise, Pep should stick with his strongest 11 for the game, (an unfit KdB is not in that 11 I'm afraid).

Nothing to lose now. Play him if he’s passed fit.

Only he can male a killer long or short pass that unlocks any bus,if it's 0-0 at 60 mins he needs to come on with sane

I really do not want that to happen again,there will be mass heart attacks if it takes that long

Apart from his 2 long returns he had been sensational at 85% on his other starts, this has been another niggle style one so if he’s fit at 80/90% he walks into any team in the world on final day.
