Results so far make today even more important. It shouldn’t be seen as a ‘free hit’, it’s the opposite in my mind and is now even more pivotal.

Win today resulting in an 11 point gap to third is massive.

yes but you can also say it softens the blow if anything does go wrong today

 

[robbiethemole]

Play without pressure

 

[Macca]

Play without pressure increasing chance of a sneaky win

No drama if it does, but what an opportunity we have been gifted by the chasing pack (aka ‘the pretenders to the throne’).

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Great weather for it anyway, looks like a full complement have travelled bar Wright.

Lampard was being quite guarded about it, so hopefully that's the case.

Well I just saw all them get off the coach 10 minutes ago.

Come on you sexy boys

 

[David O'Day]

Bobby back, nice

Rudi and Wright back for next game it seems

 

[jas365]

Don't like BTA at 10, would rather have Torp or Eccles, other than that i'm happy with the team given all the injury whispers.

 

[Captain Dart]

That'll do nicely.

 

[David O'Day]

BTA wonder goal again

 

[Sick Boy]

2-0 win today.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Vipotnik worries me, need Bobby and Lati to have big pockets today

 

[Liquid Gold]

Having Bobby back is huge. He is exactly the type to go toe to toe with vipotnik

 

[PVA]

I would have started Eccles at 10 with BTA on the bench. That way he can come on either at 10 or up front. No striker on the bench now to sub off Simms if he's tiring/not having a good game.

Plus Eccles had a better game than him last week.

Still though, strong team and should have too much for them.

I hope your Eccles pro bias isn't as bad as Grendel's JDS negative bias

 

[fernandopartridge]

As much as I rate Thomas I feel like our results in his returns from being out have so far this season all been bad. Let's hope it changes today

 

[Liquid Gold]

I’m getting nervous now

 

[Nick]

I’m getting nervous now

Same

 

[Ashdown]

None of our defenders are stand out really and would all be vulnerable at a higher level, however Thomas does give you a bit more in the air going forward, with him in we get a draw against Saints.

 

[Jamesimus]

I am not nervous at all thanks to the other, lesser championship teams results earlier

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Yeah but what if we win!

 

[shepardo01]

Same

The "two in midfield" worries me a bit away from home against a side who have been very good at home (despite the opposition) for a while now!!

 

[Jamesimus]

Yeah defo often seems to suffer with a little rustiness.

Same. Surprisingly relaxed. Even if we lose its starting to look inevitable honestly.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Expect a few early passes to awry.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Same. Surprisingly relaxed. Even if we lose its starting to look inevitable honestly.

Same. We’re sorted

 

[Paxman II]

Torp or BTA? It's so difficult, but BTA will be someone the sawns have to watch closely at all times whereas Torp would drift into the box and may be a better option later on when the game opens up and he can get a few shots away. I think we win this tbh. Results today must of galvanised the camp and players can see the end goal is in sight early if they make the effort now.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Would have preferred to keep BTA on the bench in case we need to take Simms off but otherwise happy.

Haven’t felt this relaxed before a game in a very long time, take as you will!
