2-1 to Everton

Lampard knows we have a lot of games coming thick and fast. Godfrey will possibly make the United game. ?‍

With onanas enforced absence I don’t think he will wanna change to much of the team after a good result so will see what happens. Coleman’s looked better when he’s in and out of the team rather than being the number 1 right back. If he comes in at wing back or RCB for this game I don’t think it’s a negative.

I'm guessing they have Caicedo and Allister back for this?

Will be a tough tough game, but could see you nick it. Ima go 2-1 / 1-0

Mitoma is the danger-man for you guys to worry about, he's such an elegant little player.

Was Brilliant against us in the second half.

That's why we have to have two RBs on the pitch. Patterson will need Coleman close in a back 5.

Coleman in a 3 man centre defence is more than ok over 90 minutes.

They wont (hopefully) be playing too far away from their own box.

Seamus is only stretched when tasked with getting up and down the pitch over 90 minutes.

Horses for courses.

As long as our best young right back is dropped?

He goes to RB but has his arse covered by Coleman who reads the RB job better than Godfrey because...erm...he's a right back.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

A win would be most welcome here, wouldn't it?

 

[Milkman]

Everton will fall to defeat and you’ll all return to melting down over them like entitled pissbabies.

Your match previews are getting much more succinct

Interesting odds for this, 23/10 for a home win. Might have a dabble.

Brighton are a decent team but let's not act like they're Man. City or Arsenal. They've drawn to Forest this season and lost to Brentford. Against Arsenal they had Billy Gilmour starting with Caciedo out (not sure if he's injured or suspended). Mccalister hasn't been since yet since WC either in their squad.

Been a while since a 1-0 with Pickford lying on the ball for final twenty minutes so Saturday was a good warm up for this match.

Coleman could play in midfield with 20 minutes to go ......

No chance we win this.

They're beatable.

I think they're flakey under this new manager.

If the GP crowd doesn't howl its derision at playing 5 at the back - because they think this lot should be playing silky football - then we can get something. If they dont and they become Brighton's 12th man we'll be well beaten.

Brighton fan here. We aren’t playing 5 at the back and haven’t in months. There also is no GP crowd.

Well we dont have any right to with the players we have.

I'd be happy enough with a draw and then beat S'ton.
