Brighton and Hove Albion vs Aston Villa Pre-Match

[PaulTheVillan]

If Olsen's in goal I'll be fuming with all concerned.

We’d be better off with Ashley Young in goal.

Fancy us to nick this one, 1-2

McGinn thunderbolt and a Mings header at the last to win it

[Neil Hawkes]

I'm really looking forward to this one.

Our form is irrelevant until such time as Emery has at least 3 home and 3 away games under his belt.

Same players yes, but same style - I hope not.

#Disclaimer: Should todays result be extremely disappointing, I reserve the right to be thoroughly pissed off.#

The trains from London to Brighton are screwed by the way. Otherwise enjoy!

They've got some good players right across the park, Trossard's been in brilliant form for them and really should be starting for Belgium at the world cup. He's everything hopefully Buendia will eventually be for us.

I agree but for once we have a manager that has also spotted that and will have a plan

[Villa Lew]

Time we started to turn up away and with Unai in charge I'm expecting us to do that today, 2 points and only 3 goals scored is an abysmal record, going Villa by the one goal.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Would love it, love it if we won 2-1, but I suspect it will be a 1-1 or 2-2 draw.

Is the game on the radio anywhere else apart from BBC 5 Live?

One of my nephews is a Brighton fan (brought up there): guess I'd better start some "banter" with him!

We’ve got to be a lot more compact and harder to break down for starters.  On form, we’ve got the quality to cause problems when opportunities arise, but have been far too open in away games.

Leon and Ollie not playing apparently

Late England call-up for Ollie?

My money would be more on him having a cold

[johnc]

Apologies looks like Leon is there

[PaulTheVillan]

McGinn. Sigh.

[Bad English]

Ings. Sigh.

What's happened to Watkins? FFS he starts to look good and gets injured.
