Brighton & Hove Albion FC pre match

[Chelmofox]

Castagne being frozen out should be a huge concern for the club. We can’t afford him to hold personal grudges with our defence. This is 2 current defenders he appears to have fallen out with. He needs to swallow his pride here. It’s negligent. 
 

Wout will be interesting. Maybe it’s too soon as he only signed a few days ago, but I have a hunch this is a club signing that Brendan had little involvement with. There could be a danger that he gets little look in whilst Brendan is in his meltdown mode. 

[Rossiter]

A blanket and a hot chocolate plus Rodgersball v boring Brighton and I'll be dozing off before half time.

It was taking him off when he'd been absolutely phenomenal vs Brentford that has helped cause a lot of this farce this season so far.

100% but he's not been at his best in the last few games.

If he’s fallen out with Castagne, he will certainly go in January. His agent has been on the case for a move for nearly a year now. I understand with him having a baby and getting married, he’s chilled off being forceful about it

Rodgers needs to f**king go!

[TJB-fox]

Fvck it at least we’re going 2 up top and getting Kel in the team. 
 

Vardy unlikely to play twice in a week too.

As if Thomas is playing again. **** of Rodgers. 

That midfield (if true) will get completely over ran.

That team has got ‘sacked on monday’ written all over it. 2 strikers and 2 cms will not work against any half decent team in this league, especially Brighton. Midfield will get absolutley overrun

KDH has a big future, but was awful against Man Utd. Saying that I think BR was playing him too high up the pitch. I didn't manage to work out why he was so high and yet Maddison was so deep, but they were clearly operating under instruction. 

 

KDH is an ideal impact sub as he always plays with drive and energy. Something we've noticeably lacked in the latter part of games - see Brentford and Southampton. Not the worst decision for him to start from the bench. 

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

Absolutely frightening that Bournemouth have already lost 9-0 & sacked their manager this season but could still be 6 points ahead of us this time tomorrow.

Why would you pick Thomas over Castagne?

[OntarioFox]

Thomas was fine against Man Utd, it was our other wing where Justin was playing with the confidence of a broken man I'm more concerned about. We had so much space, so many times in front of him but he opted to stop and pass backwards. Because any raw promise has been coached out of him by Rodgers. The left was the wrong option most of the game but all Thomas was guilty of was overplaying it with Barnes nullified and playing a languid half-arsed game.

 

If he's really 'fallen out' with Castagne - and I'm a skeptic with most rumours I hear about the club, but inclined to believe it in our current state - it's about time the players themselves knocked on the board's door.

 

The issue is that I don't think the senior players we have left are the sort to upset the apple cart in such a way.

If we lose against Brighton and I think we will then Villa will be the decision making game for the board on Brendan

It’s not as if we have played well in any game to deserve more points despite what BR says. We’re a shadow of a football team currently and are toothless up front. 

Brighton will win and they won’t have to work hard to do so.

Because it’s Brendan. Vesty is coming in for Madison too

Who knows.  Castagne seems like someone who speaks his mind. In interviews he is confident to say when we aren’t good enough. Brendan says he wants leaders, just not leaders who challenge him. Fraud. 

[hejammy]

If he starts Thomas tomorrow he deserves to be sacked infront of all the fans before the whistle tomorrow. 

[lcfc043]

Rodge gonna spawn a 2-1 win tomorrow and keep his job for the rest of the  season

I personally thought Thomas was dreadful especially the first half. A lot of Justin’s problems was he was alone on the right side no help at all.

Exactly - a couple of posters have said they thought Thomas was OK - not sure if it's because they have their blue tinted specs on because he's 'one of our own' but seriously he wasn't even OK. He was poor. Needs to go out on loan to develop I think.

Thomas never tracked back for their goal stood in middle of their half and watched. Five minutes later he was walking around the middle of the park and they were attacking down his flank. He has no positional sense, he is weak and no pace. I agree people have a love in with him because he is from Leicester. 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Good to see KDH dropped. He has an important role in the squad but his flaws can really slow us down it's time to make him an impact sub. 

 

Castagne and Soyuncu need to start. Daka should be nowhere near the team.
