Brighton & Hove Albion vs Cardiff City 21st August 2012 Head-to-head ⢠This is the 60th competitive meeting, and each club has won 21 of the previous 59. ⢠Last season's corresponding fixture was a 2-2 draw, but Brighton's 3-1 success in the reverse fixture was their only maximum in seven matches against Cardiff. ⢠Brighton need one goal to total 50 in home league matches with the Bluebirds. Brighton & Hove Albion ⢠Still hunting a first goal, having lost 3-0 away to Swindon in the Capital One Cup, and 1-0 to Hull at the KC Stadium on Saturday. ⢠The Seagulls are now without victory in nine league games (D5, L4), since defeating Derby at the Amex on 20 March. ⢠Not been without a point after the first two matches of a league season since 2004. Cardiff City ⢠Mark Hudson's 90th minute goal for Cardiff secured the first three points of the Championship season, home to Huddersfield on Friday. ⢠The Bluebirds are unbeaten in 11 regular league games (W5, D6), and are chasing a fourth consecutive win on the road (discounting the 3-0 loss to West Ham in the play-off semi-final). ⢠If he plays, Kevin McNaughton will be making his 400th career league appearance. Expect a very different game to Friday nights dull stalemate vs Huddersfield. The Seagulls will attack, and considering they havn't scored yet, they will attack hard. However, that will leave more room for our attack and perhaps the pace of Bellamy will cause more problems. Expect an unchanged team from the game against Huddersfield. C'mon City!
they beat us didnt they last season, good team brighton. i believe i went for a draw in your prediction league sheep, i'm usualy optomistic so this could be a game we dont win, but in all honesty we should win....
Kev's 400th league appearance. Surely he must score tonight!!!! Think of all the "I saw McNuggs score" tee-shirts.
Ha Bfb, never fell for that con. I refused every "I saw Eddie score" piece of merchandise offered to me!
So did I. Good night game vs Donny According to Sky Sports News - Cardiff close to signing Tommy Smith from QPR. Backup?
Not sure about Smith. Would he be any better than Earnie? And with Earnie, Etien and Mason we had 3 strikers on the bench last week with Gestede to come back (if ever).
