Brighton (H) 19/8: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Dire Wolf]

It's the lineup everyone wanted really. Fingers crossed for a performance like Monday but a better result.

 

[WsWolf]

I really hope he has a good game. I feel like I've been building up to this moment for ages . Not expecting Bully incarnated but hopefully he can put in the effort he did in pre season and give us something extra up top

If he don't get at least 3 I'm gonna be disappointed.

 

[Alan]

It’s probably been since Nuno that we’ve had a lineup change be so universally asked for and then actually happen.

Well done, Gary. On to the lads to execute.

 

[prawnking]

This is going to be the day Silva announces himself. I can feel it

I didn't at this in a snarky way incidentally, I just enjoy the optimism

Saudi takeover of Wolves complete?

Optimism is all I have

 

[Freddeno]

Only player I would have from that Brighton is Mitoma, maybe Gross and Dunk too..

 

[The Bear]

Should be interesting to see if we carry on with that high energetic press, and if Cunha can get as much joy through the middle. I'm doubtful on rhr 2nd point but I hope GON keeps us playing with the same intensity.

 

[Wolvensam]

Let’s not underestimate Brighton too much, eh? Still a very well coached and drilled team.

 

[Alan]

Saudi takeover of Wolves complete?

Damn, that’s a left turn I didn’t expect!

 

[Freddeno]

Im optimistic after that eleven, nice to see Silva start..if Sa can keep calm in the goal we can win this

 

[Del Woppio]

Refreshing to see a manager see a problem in game one, and then take a decisive action for the next game. More than refreshing actually, it's quite lovely.

Tough, tough game and one we will probably lose, but I'll take a performance like Monday's tbh. Points will follow if we keep playing that way

 

[Wolvensam]

Certainly the line-up we’d have all gone for except for maybe Bueno for RAN for some. Let’s hope it works out. I think we’ll give them a game at least.

 

[Old Hill Wolf]

This Brighton team are no mugs and the manager is very highly rated everywhere, he has this Brighton team playing a style of football that is different to every other team in football, that's for us to find a way to overcome this unusual style without leaving ourselves exposed at the back. COYW

 

[AndyWolves]

Because there seems to be a bit of optimism about I fully expect a shoeing

 

[Carsy]

I wasn’t, personally. They are as you say a very well coached and drilled team. I was more being positive given the summer we’ve had, that out starting 11, on paper, is fairly decent IMO

 

[Wolvensam]

It’s a pretty solid attacking line-up from them. Welbeck always manages to score against us too.

 

[The Bear]

Bournemouth immediately take the lead at Anfield.

 

[The Bear]

Good move but miles offside.

 

[Jack Regan]

Decent finish by Fabio, a country mile offside though.
