Okay, so after the roaring success of my match-day thread debut against the Florists last time out, I guess I need to step up the plate again and deliver in the next of our remaining ‘cup finals’ between now and the end of the season.
So next up is a trip to the south coast to take on Crissy Hootun’s Seagulls at the Amex Stadium, massive game this, an absolute must-not-lose, but obviously we could really do with the three points to keep our promotion charge on track.
We come into the game in good form, cracking 3-1 win against Florist before the break continued the four game unbeaten run, and with only one defeat in the past twelve things are moving along nicely as we move into the business end of the season.
It will be a tricky one for sure, so let’s take nothing for granted – Brighton come had a good 1-0 win away at Blackburn last time out, they are unbeaten in the last three games and have only lost twice in the last ten. They have only conceded once in the past three games, so Hootun has clearly got them set up well at the back, which I guess comes as no surprise to a lot of you. I hope he gets decent treatment from the travelling Canaries, and no nastiness or bad feeling towards him, I don’t think there will be.
I’d like to see the same eleven that started the last game, though I wouldn’t be too surprised if the gaffer made a change or two, particularly as a few of our boys were involved in the internationals. Wes and Tettey in particular came through 90 minutes midweek, though I hope Wes starts the game as he’s bang on form, full of confidence and playing as well as I can remember – probably not played as consistently well as this since the League One season, so hopefully he can keep it going for another seven games to help us over the line.
We’ve not lost against our opposition since 2002, and have a good recent record against them – though none of that matters once the whistle blows so let’s hope for a good strong performance from the boys, and another three points on the board to get us even further in the mix. With Bournemouth, Watford and Derby involved in tricky and very loseable games – the latter two against each other, so at least one must drop points – we have an excellent chance to further make up ground with the automatic places. Middlesboro will fancy their chances at home to Wigan, but as we proved in our last defeat a month ago it can be a tricky one, particularly with the Latics scrapping for their lives in the bottom three.,
So if things go perfectly on Good Friday – and yes, that does involve a win for the binners – we could even find ourselves level at the top (on points at least) by 5pm. Of course if things go the other way we could even be effectively seven off the top and five off the top two, which would make it more of a challenge – but let’s not consider ridiculous things like that, it’s gonna be a good, good day, the points will be ours and someone if going to slip up, I got a feeling in me buhns
I’m going for a narrow 2-1 win, perhaps even after going a goal behind – Jerome to bag them both – remember where you heard it first.
