Match Day Thread Brighton v Saints Sunday 29th October 13:30pm - Goals galore thread.

Tadic has been playing pretty well this season.

 

Austin out injured according to Adam Blackmore.

 

Let it go, let it go, let it go.*

Fraser will have to get a lot worse to be dropped....and watching MOTD I saw other goalies have rickets...not just Forster.

*Quite frankly the worst song ever written.

 

Charlie injured?....nah, don't believe it...

 

Agreed jus hope those 3 aren't a flat 3 so to speak.

 

Sorry for having an opinion!.....

 

Cricked his back picking up a burger?

 

Sorry I must have been watching a different Tadic, I was referring to Dusan Tadic.

 

Mario just posted a video on his Instagram of him in his boot, saying “I can’t help my team”.

 

Yes, I thought the same. After I got used to not seeing Yoshi's name in the starting line-up, and no Austin on the bench, I realised that Pellegrino has picked an adventurous side. If, IF... they perform as they should, Brighton will have a tough time keeping up with them.

Don't quite know why I bother, but I just did another see what I did there.

 

Perhaps you were watching different games?

 

He's out for a month, apparently. Training accident, I presume.

 

Hoedt, Gabbi, JWP and Boufal all starting? I've been wanting all those things to happen so badly and that means this can only go dreadfully. This one is on me, sorry gang.

 

Looking forward to seeing Hoedt and VvD getting on the end of some Prowse corners and free kicks.

 

Looking forward to seeing how both those Boufals link up.

 

I imagine you know about this place , but if you don't .

Could be, but then again the circumstances have picked the team. As you say, Lemina being out meant the heart of the team changed. He could have gone for Hojbjerg and left it alone. But he didn't and fair play. We're mid-table, in reasonable form, albeit we still can't score freely, and there are several players banging on the door to play. It's Brighton away, so we may as well try something a little different. Pellegrino chose a side with more attacking instinct and more technical capability. He can revert to a less experimental setup with players from the bench. As you say, interesting.

 

Would anyone feel sad if we sold Long or Austin in January and went for Dembele from Celtic?

 

It is very tough on Maya and Stephens, feels a bit rough for them but hopefully they have the mentalities to keep moving forwards. I'd be fine with seeing either of them starting for us but I thought Hoedt flashed a lot of special potential against Palace and Man U... And Virgil is just Virgil. If Hoedt follows the trajectory of those two games, I think he can slide in as VVD's replacement and the space will open back up again for the other two. Again, would still be tough on Maya but I'd love to see Hoedt and Stephens as a partnership both being only 23 and looking so talented... Very tempting. But then I dunno how long that'd last cos Hoedt does seem like a stepping stone kind of player, that being no slight against him.
