I think they will, as for some, they will try and showcase what they can do to either get a new contract or to attract a new club

Hurzeler: It has not been easy for Watson
“We can all feel that he's desperate to play,” said the Brighton head coach in today’s press conference.
“He trained well this week, so he's definitely an option for tomorrow. His start was not easy and you can see that in the amount of his game time.
“It’s not been easy to get into rhythm for him because he always has small issues regarding his body.
“But hopefully now he's getting stronger, physically his body handles the adaptation better, then we see his potential.
“We see his potential every week in training. We see his potential in some game minutes he had fast so far.
“But the main thing for us is really is his body able to adapt, how fast his body's able to adapt to get into his rhythm. And then I'm sure that he can help us.”

Why would you want him to get a knock
if he were fit for Leeds he would be off to AFCON... I think the best scenario is he gets some minutes at the weekend then goes away with Senegal and ramps up to full match sharpness over there, and comes back after AFCON ready to do the business for us.I can see next Isidor goal being a ping from the keeper that takes the entire opposition out and has him one on one with the keeper bit like the Liverpool chance but not many players are catching up whatever his name is did that night (hopefully those weekend but whenever it comes)

Brighton are a good side, particularly at home and our Lads need to be at it with the same intensity as they showed last week. We've got enforced changes, but due to suspensions and AFCON, so have they.
I watched their last home game against West Ham, and Brighton were poor by their standards, so I'm hoping for the same tomorrow.
Our home form is excellent, so it is easy to discount our away form, but we are averaging a point a game away from home and I'll be delighted to carry that on tomorrow, then beat Leeds on 28th to put us on 30 points before the year end, which is an achievable short-term target.
With this team, 3 points is very possible down there, but I'd be very satisfied with a point. I really fancy us to score against a weakened Brighton defence, so if our defence can shut them out, we're more than capable of bagging the win. HTL!!!!!!!!!

Great thread again RTB. Score draw would be a good result but you can just never rule out a win for us. Haway!

As has already been said on here Brighton are good at home, however I think there style of play will suit how RLB likes to set up so think this will be an interesting encounter which may well be decided by who gets it right tactically in transitions.
My money is on Reggie. So will go for a tight 1-2

Just putting this out there. No building up a boring post or anything but how the flying feck did we get Reinildo, Mukiele and Alderete for under 25m? Blows my mind on a daily basis this.
Chuck in Roefs and call it 37m!
Madness mate! Reinildo was free, he is excellent!
****ing hell Roefs aswell that cant believe i forgot him.
Reinildo is arguably the best LB ive seen for us in these few short months. Defensively solid and excellent going forward
Tomorrow we’ll be organised but we’re weaker with Hume at left back. The rest is down to whether new players acclimatise.
Spot checks are taking place again tomorrow on away tickets

Unreal business in the summer Roefs has to be up there with best keepers in the league and one of our best, which is high praise in a position we have always been quite blessed in. He is as good as any we have had shot stopping and distribution but he is strong, confident and commanding in the box to the point I struggle to think of any as good at this part! I struggle to remember a keeper in my time who was so good at it all, they all had a weakness, yet to see his!
Ha’way the lads

Not a clue how this one goes.
Massive opportunity for the lads who haven’t been playing so the effort should be there, 4 of the outstanding back 5 remain available, so we still be strong at back.
Sadiki is a big miss but Geertruida looks a very good player he will go well, shame to lose Talbi as he was finding feet but Mundle being back is great, and he’s looked pretty sharp in his cameos.
Good side Brighton so a tough game. Stinks of 1-1 to me. Be happy with that.
