Match Thread Brighton v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[GoldenToffee]

Why 2 keepers on the bench?!

People might say it's a message to the board, but it's obviously because we're yet again down to the bare bones as we so often find ourselves

 

[messymascot]

Could we not have left Dobbin and Welch out the u23s and at least given them match day experience.

 

[Mashtray]

Duffy to score in a setpiece

 

[NorthernBlue]

What a terrible side we’ve managed to accumulate

 

[Carloblues]

Even a utter dog like Keane can't make it 4 games in a row giving a goal away? Scary how bad that defence and bench looks.

Could pick james

Surely putting Dobbin or Whittaker on the bench is better than two keepers

Dobbin only played for the U23's last night

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Mina out again eh.

Legs made of tofu.

 

[Jozzy]

They must’ve all been pinged surely, can’t suddenly have 5-6 injuries outve nowhere

I don't think they're "out of nowhere", Rafael just remains very tight lipped with his selections.

I'm sure as some journos create some new leads with him we'll get some leaks on team news but I think Rafael wants to keep our oppo on their toes so no one really knows until the line up is announced.

 

[Toffeepot]

No Mina and too much Keane for my liking

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Horrible central defence pairing. We deserve what we will inevitably get today

 

[Amokachi1995]

Surely putting Dobbin or Whittaker on the bench is better than two keepers

Was thinking the same. Unless there have been last minute drop outs.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Really hoped Keane and Holgate wouldn't be starting today,looks like we have no other options currently,roll on Tuesday and the proverbial rabbits out of the hat!!

I'd be more surprised if he didn't.
