Brighton vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Jon Crofts]

is this one on Amazon?

No, I think they've done all their games now.

Only televised PL games this week are the Scouse derby & Chavski Spuds.

[Chico Hamilton III]

Be kind to the bar staff in the away end at the Amex - my student daughter started work there recently and had a nightmare last weekend with thousands of pissed up Forest arseholes. I’m expecting free beer for me.

Only two on TV this week are the Forest / Manure and the Scouse derby. The former is why they had to play on Saturday in the cup.

Edit Forgot Chelsea playing on Thursday.

[RamboandBruno]

The squad is looking very deep now and should allow some changes without impacting to much on us.

Id go with

Martinez
Disasi
Konsa
Mings
Maatsen
Kamara
Tielemans
Rashford
Watkins
Rogers
McGinn

With Bailey and Malen not being on the bench yesterday, not sure what the craic is there. If they were fit, Id be tempted to start one. Id give Asensio a rest and bring him on if needed. Would be good if Onana and Torres can get some game time.

They’ve been playing well recently, but I thought they were poor against Forest, hopefully that continues.

2-0 us, Watkins, Rashford.

Malen came on as a sub yesterday.
Onana got a few mins too, and looked sharp.
Go for strongest team, we need to win.

Malen was on the bench, and came off the bench to play the last quarter of an hour.

[UK Redsox]

Not only was Malen on the bench yesterday, he came on as a sub on 73 mins

[UK Redsox]

I'd clean forgot about Disasi. I'm losing track of which players can play in which competition

[Somniloquism]

Bailey was the only "name" missing yesterday for no other reasons. . But as Dave mentioned, with our squad, with everyone fit, some people will miss out. Malen or even Asensio could fill in on the right, and Bogarde could fill in lots of positions. When Barkley is fitter, Bogarde would be the next to drop off the list, and maybe Garcia for Disasi.

[London Villan]

Was Bailey on international duty with Jamaica last week?

He was - but I don't think he had to travel any more than Emi did.

Stuart Attwell is the ref on Wednesday night. Never known him have a decent game, right up there with Michael Oliver, who is on VAR for the Forest game, as shockingly poor referees.

[eamonn]

Our squad is stacked to the gills. We'll be loaning out en masse like Chelsea any day now and not just nippers.

Atwell is as bad as they get, dreadful ref.

[cdbearsfan]

He's the absolute twat that would quite happily have let an Ipswich player commit mass murder without fear of a second booking at Portman Road. Shittest referee we have had this season.
