Brighton 1-1 Bolton

Anyone would think Brighton were a top ten Premier League team.

In reality they have one or two prem standard players. The rest are worse than our lot.

Probably true, but they have a much healthier mentality and approach to the game than we appear to have just now. Still, everything changes, so we're always in with a chance.

Will be very interesting to see who starts, what formation and tactics DF uses. He should have a good idea by now of how the land lies.

As far as I know (which is not much) his first priority has been the defence. Not just the back four but the way we go about the entire game. He has been defensive at home so that's definatly going to be what happen's away. He's also said he's a big fan of SKD (not in so many words) so that's 4-5-1 with KD up front. But unlike Coyle, it's anyones guess who else he will start with.

He will be happy with a point but the time is coming when all three will be a must.

I'd like to see him surprise us all, and Brighton, and play an attacking game. Let thye players have a go

Yes, me too.

Would like to see Ngog, Petrov and Chungy all start the game with KD on the bench.


COYWM

5-0 to Brighton.

But we'll make up for it a few days later..

Chicken lovers 0-6 Bolton.

Tricky game, but I have a sneaky feeling we might just do it.
Brighton 1 Bolton 2
Eagles & Mavies

Are Bolton Nuts running the live chat tomorrow ?

If SKD starts .... 3-1 Brighton ...... otherwise 0-0

2-1 Bolton.

For anybody going just read this on another board.

Hi guys,

Thought I'd share this with you. Brighton have binned their caterers and tomorrow could be interesting as far as pies and pints are concerned. The important info is as follows...

"The club would like to make you aware that as a result of the catering changes at the stadium, the concourse kiosks will not be able to take credit or debit card payments during tomorrow's matchday."

Make sure you have enough cash as there are no machines anywhere near the stadium!

Hope your journey goes ok but not the result!

We need a ' Behind Enemy Lines ' snout at the refreshment kiosks! ' What no Pies ?! GRRRR.

I was amazed to see that the last time we won away at Brighton was 1977 with Peter Reid being one of the goalscorers.

I remember how hopeful I was of that team - and how it all went tits up when George Wood broke Reidy's leg in the Everton match that was abandoned at Burnden (worst match i ever went to although Stoke at Wembley was close)

Honours even in all matches against Brighton.

Starting Line Up:

Bogdan, Mears, Mills, Knight, Warnock, Ream, M Davies, Afobe, Pratley, Eagles, Ngog

Subs: Lynch, Andrews, K Davies, Ricketts, Spearing, Chung-Yong, Butterfield

That's a queer line up ..... not what you would call a creative midfield.....anyway I'll support it......at least doogie is trying something.

I agree, he needs to chop and change seen as we dont have a winning team yet...

[14:45:36 24/11/12] @ Sluffy : hello terenceanne. least brighton would not have planned for it!
[14:45:57 24/11/12] @ BoltonTillIDie : no, i reckon they planned on SKD starting
[14:46:06 24/11/12] Lofty_Love : good line up I think, hope Ream performs
[14:46:38 24/11/12] terenceanne : who is the creative midfielder? Ream?
[14:46:54 24/11/12] @ Sluffy : hello lofty
[14:47:05 24/11/12] bwfc1874 : Ream's holding
[14:47:14 24/11/12] bwfc1874 : With Pratley right?
[14:49:50 24/11/12] wanderlust : With Eagles tending to move inside this looks like a very narrow set up
[14:50:03 24/11/12] wanderlust : compact and bijou
[14:50:11 24/11/12] Lofty_Love : hi sluffy, im guessing its 4-2-3-1, Ream and prats holding with eagles mark and N'gog sitting behinf Afobe
[14:51:08 24/11/12] wanderlust : if this works, what will happen to Lee, Petrov, Wylde etc - the wide men OC favoured?
[14:53:41 24/11/12] Lofty_Love : Hopefully Dougie will alter his tactics based on the opposition, there are plently of teams who will have crap full backs and be weak from wing attacks (just like us last year)
[14:53:50 24/11/12] @ BoltonTillIDie : Different Formations for different teams
[14:54:05 24/11/12] @ BoltonTillIDie : Lofty beat me to it
[14:54:25 24/11/12] Lofty_Love :
[14:54:44 24/11/12] wanderlust : hopefully...
[14:55:37 24/11/12] wanderlust : so do Brighton have decent wide men? Can't say I've noticed from what little I#ve seen of em
[14:59:48 24/11/12] Lofty_Love : No idea to be honest ha, but they seem to be pretty good and were highly tipped at the start of the season so I suppose their defense must be organised at least
[15:00:22 24/11/12] terenceanne : nothing on BWFC for 30 minutes? it's down again?
[15:00:43 24/11/12] Hipster_Nebula : are we winning yet?
