    For a bit of early discussion before it can placed into the official one.

    Possible return of Will Hughes, could be much needed.

    A question to those that have been before - which is more sensible, Park and ride or parking at a station and getting the train to the stadium?

    That wouldn’t be an awful starting 11 , has Cleverley finished his 3 match ban (thought he had only missed 2 but the defeats are all starting to blend into 1)

    Got to end this god awful run at some point 0-2 to us

    Edit: just realised only one games suspensions as 2 yellows not straight red

    Brighton cannot buy a goal so....

    Was gonna say that that might be a bit of a lightweight midfield with Cleverley and Hughes, but then I reflected on my point and realised that the alternative would be Capoue as the 'defensive' player, and he could not be more lightweight if he was constructed entirely out of NASA patented aerogel.

    Mill road is the best Just off the motorway,park at the end of the road not near the Bp garage end then you will get a good getaway.

    They have more passion and desire and a better moral including mostly a fit squad.

    I was going to this but I’ll skip the torture and hang out with you beautiful peeps in the shout box instead.

    2-0 defeat. We slide closer to the drop zone and the other teams win around us and Gray misses an open goal.

    Absolute nonsensical , unrealistic Bollox....of the outfield players Kabasele would not be first choice replacement goalkeeper

    Having been to the last 5 games (including money wasting trips to Burnley and Palace) I haven't seen anything that makes me think we'll get a point.

    I'm going to go out somewhere for the afternoon and turn my phone off.

    Thought everyone on here thinks Silva is the b0110ck5. Why all the negativity? Just a blip people keep saying. If we lose this, i Think Marco Silva will be blippiest person from Blipsville.

    They haven’t scored and that **** Knockaert is playing.

    We all know how this goes

    For the first time in a while, I just really don't care.

    Maybe Silva will try and sign me when the window opens.

    If we play like we did against Huddersfield then they won't need to buy them, we'll be giving them out for free.

    Gray starting and we play 4 at the back scenario - we win the game
    If we play 3 at the back I don't think we will outscore them

    More of the same is a bit misleading. Performances have been decent apart from Huddersfield. At Burnley we were on top for a lot of the game even with 10 men and against Palace we lost the plot due to Cleverley's red. As long as we keep 11 on the pitch then I'm confident of beating Brighton, especially as we seem to play better away from home.

    The fact our squad has been decimated by injury and suspension yet we could still field the following starting 11 is surely a sign of how far we’ve progressed. Recent results and performances have been found wanting but it isn’t all bad....

    Gomes
    Janmaat, Prodl, Kabasele, Holebas
    Cleverly, Capoue
    Carrillo, Hughes, Richarlison
    Gray

    Yes, I know Capoue isn’t ideal but with the, hopeful, return of the creative Hughes, he can just get back to sticking his gangly legs out to regain possession which he used to be so good at. Prefer him marginally to Watson mainly due to game time to be honest. Pereyra I’m just not sure is fully fit yet. Seems off the pace but if he’s got that back then certainly have him in for Capoue.

    That 11 is not really any worse than our fully fit options from the last couple of years.

    4-0 win. Gray x2. Pereyra & Capoue. This negativity is great, as it will feel better when we smash them.

    P.s. we all know that when a player is "being evaluated" for the weekend, he definitely wont start. Hughes on the bench.

    And if nothing else, calm yourself with the knowledge that, hopefully, our midfield will be back to Ducati, Hughes and Cleverly on Boxing Day.

    Marvellous. Hughes makes such a difference to the way we play, having someone who takes care of the ball is invaluable.

    Ducruet will also be a little fresher from his enforced rest. Back to his best, I hope.

    I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Brighton is a cracking town (it is in 3rd place in my favourite UK towns list FYI). I love a bracing winter walk along a seafront.

    We'll lose 3-1, but everything apart from that 90 minutes will be thoroughly great.
