You cannot believe that Wednesday haven't gone for the kill… they're happy with 2-0… i hope they get ****ed because of that..
Brighton might turn up on Monday and just kick at Sheffield Wednesday players if the game slips away.
It's gone in our favour tonight with these two, what a match. Surely we want Brighton to beat Wednesday now with a fragmented squad then wipe the floor with them at Wembley, would always be a niggling worry at Wembley that somebody like Forestieri could put us on the back foot, Brighton could be in bits
Carvahal talking about his team playing with energy and intensity, another manager building a team on energy and athleticism.
He will be desperate to put one over on us, like Cortez91 says though hopefully he will get a good beasting from Brighton on Monday then they won't even have to give him the reducer at Wembley
I like Holloway, but him sucking up to Carvahal saying he was trying to do what he is doing so beautifully years ago will change tomorrow when he says, Steve, you set the defence up brilliantly… I was trying to do that years ago..
Written before tonight's game. Brighton & Hove Albion: P46 W24 D17 L5 PT89 There is no time for Brighton to feel sorry for themselves after missing out on automatic promotion on goal difference to Middlesbrough on the last day of the season. The Seagulls’ recent record is not encouraging, having lost semi-finals in 2013 to rivals Crystal Palace and being comprehensively beaten by Derby in 2014. Their only success was in 2004, when they beat perennial play-off failures Bristol City in the Second Division final. They also lost to Neil Warnock’s Notts County in 1991. One consolation is that the third-place team in the Championship has been promoted three times in last five years, including Norwich City last year. Fact: Their total of 89 points is the second highest to qualify for the play-offs after Sunderland’s total of 90 points in 1998, which ended in a heartbreaking penalty shoot-out loss against Charlton.
Sheffield Wednesday: P46 W19 D17 L10 PT74 Sheffield Wednesday are one of only five teams to have a 100% record in the play-offs alongside Dagenham & Redbridge, Doncaster Rovers, Fleetwood Town and Manchester City. If they can emulate their 2005 League One triumph against Hartlepool they will become the only club to have appeared more than once and won on both occasions. Their Portuguese manager, Carlos Carvalhal, will be attempting to become the third manager born outside the British Isles to succeed in the play-offs after Ossie Ardiles with West Brom in 1993 and Gudjon Thordarson with Stoke City in 2002. Wednesday have been out of the top division since 2000. Fact: Sheffield Wednesday are the only team to have scored in all four halves of a play-offs final that has gone to extra time.
