Also agree with Taylor at left back if needs be - gotta be better than a centre half there. Ditto right back.

Collins has played most of hsi career at left back. :wink:

------------------green
demel - tomka - reid - taylor
vaz - noble - nolan - lans
----------cole - baldock


im guessing mccartney is out, i think we need the fullbacks adding something going forward which collins and tomka didnt in the last game (being centre backs)

lans looked good when he came on and is much more technical than oneil however i would like diop in there as the holding mid but we just need to go for goals in this, no respecting the point for me

Nope, is this itchy twitch bum time? Or is it sqeaky bum time, one of them anyway. Or to put it in other words, start panicking Mr Mainwaring.

I bought two tickets online for this game last month and they have still not arrived.
I phoned the ticket office up last week and they said they were in the process of sending them out, but nothing so far. :(

I reckon we'll win 1-0. Brighton with about 70% possession though which will be frustrating,

I'm going to pick up mine on the day. I'm taking my boy, aged 7, for the first time on Saturday. Both of us are really excited!

FWIW, its attack attack attack. We have nothing to lose, it doesn't matter if we finish 3rd or 6th for hte playoffs, but to have any chance, it has to be a big win to bump that goal difference up

Green

demel
Tomkins
Reid
McCartney/Taylor (depending on fitness)

Noble
Nolan
Lans

Vaz
Maynard
Baldock

I'd take a loss here if it meant getting Brighton in the play-off semi's.

Judging by box office there's a fair few STH returns/availables.... lower tiers were sold out earlier today - availability in most blocks now.

To beat Brighton we only need to nullify CMS and maybe Ashley Barnes if they play him. Poyet is a great manager but the team is very mediocre, particularly in defense. 3-1 to us.

----------------------- Green -----------------------
- Demel ----- Reid ----- Faye ---- Macca -
--------------------- Tomkins ---------------------
-------------- Noble -------- O'Neil -------------
---------------------- Nolan -----------------------
-------------- Vaz Te ------- Maynard --------

Tomkins to hold off CMS, two fast strikers because their centerbacks are so big and slow, they're probably on Sam's shortlist. One of the goals from Nolan bundling it over, two nice Vaz Te/Maynard Finishes once confidence is up from goal #1

No but he takes one hell of a throw.
and with him in the side we don't need to name a sub keeper (not that we do anyway)
