    Well after their thumping of Norwich,Brighton are in town Saturday evening on sky sports.

    Think we have them at the wrong time,second in the division and clearly doing very well.

    However there will be a big crowd at Ashton Gate Saturday evening,Brighton should sell out,and us should be near capacity.

    I'm hoping for the team i suggested against Barnsley,to be fair LJ went with it playing Wilbs instead of Engvall.
    I would have started with Engvall,then replaced with Wilbs.

    One thing for sure city will need to be on top of their game too take points in this game.

    .....................fielding.......................

    ........Moore...Flint...magnussen......

    matthews.O'Neil..smith.golbourne

    ........................Tomlin.....................

    ............engvall..........abraham........

    This will tell us how far we have come against a side that will be right in the mix come the end.

    There will never be a good time to play clubs who are bang on form.

    I believe Brighton will be top 4 at the end of the season, possibly even top 2, and I cant see us getting better than a draw, but the more likely outcome is an away win.

    I dont recall that we out-performed any of the top sides as yet (including Hull), so that spectacle is awaiting us. I like RR's line up (its the same one I suggested back in September), and I believe that it would shape our season.
    However, if we are not comfortable playing it then 4-4-2 would seem the safest option.

    I think the best we can hope for is a draw, but I can dream and in my dream we give our best display of the season, leaving the Gate with a 3-0 which sets us up for a storming finish to 2016.
    But as its the same dream in which we roar to automatic promotion and beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final i'll shut up

    Never seem to well against Brighton from memory and the fact they are in such good form and on TV isn't good. Sort of game we win 1-0 then?!

    But last season Cardiff dicked Brighton 4-0 before they played us and beat us 4-1 so was that a good time or bad time to play them?

    As to the big crowd with it being bonfire night, kids will no doubt want to go to firework displays so will there be a big crowd? Or will a lot of parents decide to take their kids whilst videoing the game on sky?

    No, cos if its cheese we get relegated, sack our manager, kill and eat the players, and the new stand gets burnt to the ground.
    I only have cheese before lunch.
    Happy Halloween !

    Best team performance at the gate this season,love their style of football.
    That is where we need to be.
    Thought the majority of their fans were good in their backing,apart from the dicks next to our fans.
    We were, and are a million miles, from there standard.
    Best team at the gate last season,best team at present this season.
