Brighton and Hove Albion v Aston Villa Saturday 3pm - Pre Match Thread.

No idea how this will end up but I am guessing it will be very low scoring and quite boring.

1-1 - Coutinho for us.  John Gregory for them.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Loss.
I can't see where our next point(s) are coming from.

[Meanwood Villa]

I have zero confidence in us at the moment

[Axl Rose]

Brighton will be far too good for us.

They can pass the ball for a start.

2-0 to them. No changes by Gerrard.

[VILLA MOLE]

i am glad i will be typsy at the rugby to numb the pain

[Nev]

I want to be optimistic I do but it's very hard to see a victory given we appear to be regressing.

It will be astounding if there aren't changes, and not the easy ones either, bringing back Konsa or swopping the strikers again. We need a shake up, we need a refresh and more than that we need a manager who won't go and hide on the bench when we're up against it.

3-0

[Hookeysmith]

I suspect Teachers Pet McGinn will start yet again

Watkins who was suitably told off for Newcastle and sat on bench for 70mins, came on and did fuck all - to return

All options will be considered but Luis will keep his place and be anonymous as usual

Possibly Young in for Cash - as Young did so well when he came on against Watford

And the obvious one of Konsa back in for Chambers which is hardly earth shattering

Mr Gerrard - you talk a good battle - now its time to deliver - lose this and i fear you aint the bloke to take this project forward

2-1 (Mings with ours right at the end)

I would actually support him if we lost if it was a change in style / tactics but most importantly personnel

[Nelly]

Brighton was a tough game when we were playing well. Can only see a loss here.

[ChicagoLion]

They don't score, concede, win or lose many.
They draw plenty.

1-1

[darren woolley]

I'm also going for a 1-1 draw.

[Risso]

2-0 Villa. Brighton have just lost 3-0 at home to Burnley. Double over them incoming.

[Nii Lamptey]

Brighton 2-0 - Maupay to do the damage.

[Footy-Vill]

I could SG going with this sort of line up likes of Young Chambers and Ings from the start for experience when we need a result. Konsa brought in . Cash rested.
0-0 or maybe a sneaky 0-1

Martinez
Chambers
Konsa
Mings
Digne

McGinn
Young
Ramsey

Buendia
Ings
Coutinho

[N'ZMAV]

1-0 win. McGinn goal.

[Footy-Vill]

No idea how this will end up but I am guessing it will be very low scoring and quite boring.

1-1 - Coutinho for us.  John Gregory for them.

Thanks for the pre match.
I can see Graham Potter coming to coach at Villa one day.
I think would be great fit as he's done all he can at Brighton and he's a Villa man so perhaps whenever Gerrard moves he would be on our list as to get in.
