Brighton v Villa Match Thread

[achilles]

Don't have a problem with that team selection if Watkins and Bailey were sent home yesterday through illness.
Yet another chance for McGinn to prove that he really isn't as shit as he has become!

[Skerra]

SG needs to go now after that selection!!

[jwarry]

And every cloud has a silver lining so just maybe boy wonder will get some good game time today?

[Axl Rose]

Mitoma not playing for them is a big bonus for us. He has been in superb form.

[Toronto Villa]

Too bad about Ollie. I’d have preferred to have seen Leo instead of McGinn. But that’s what it is. Let’s hope for a better performance by him and we come out with a good result. We’ve done well down there in recent times. This will be a very tough game.

I’m surprised McGinn is in ahead of Dendonker and Bailey is on the bench.

Not like for like really.  Kamara and Luiz are in ahead of Dendoncker.

I was hoping we'd seen the last of Ings.

[villadelph]

Cam could see some good minutes today.

McGinn gets 2 turnovers and I’m calling for Sanson.

[Goldenballs]

I'd take the draw, 4 from Utd and Brighton would be a good return.

I was out with a Spanish friend last night who comes from San Sesbastion. 
He said Unai was very much marmite in Spain. 
Always tinkering and rarely started the same team even if it won. 

[Toronto Villa]

I'd take the draw, 4 from Utd and Brighton would be a good return.

7/12 from Brentford, Newcastle, Man U and Brighton is good given our season. 10/12 would be excellent. A base to build from.

I was hoping we'd seen the last of Ings.

He earns over 100k a week, we'll be seeing plenty more of him until his contract runs out or we take a Haircut100 on him.

I think Meatball is going to be pushed further forwards today. Let's be honest, if he can't thrive there then there isn't really anywhere else we can try him. Fingers crossed he has an absolute barnstormer today and pings one in off the underside of the bar. It's approaching the end for him otherwise.

[Percy McCarthy]

I'd take the draw, 4 from Utd and Brighton would be a good return.

7/12 from Brentford, Newcastle, Man U and Brighton is good given our season. 10/12 would be excellent. A base to build from.

That would indeed be brilliant. It would mean we somehow get 4 points if we win today.

[Clark W Griswold]

He does apparently have an individual plan for each game so I suppose it may well mean changes regularly. I would imagine Watkins and Bailey would have played if fit and I’m thinking Ings and Buendia are playing instead.
