The Doctor Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 I wonder if the barcode scanners will be working - anyone know? I'm sure I've read it somewhere that they'll be up and running for derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 With the general strength of feeling and hostility on here over the past few days God only knows what this forum will be like if we do lose!!!! I predict a three-one victory to city.. I also predict that Svennis may well be out of a job if we lose heavily.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964FOX Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 Very tough game. The are doing well, have a good manager, new stadium and lots of momentum. They have also not lost away since Feb I believe. If we do play to our potential then we could beat them but if Gus gets the tactics right and we don't perform we could be well beaten. Personally I dont think they will just sit back and hit us on the break, they are too good a footballing side to do that. Whoever wins it will do a world of good for. we win and everyone will think we have clicked and outclassed the form team of the division. They win and they will e confirmed as the real deal as they have beaten the predicted promotion chasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tummy Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 Sorry but I can only see a defeat. Our defense is crap & Brighton are scoring almost 2 per game & conceeded only 4 in total. Hope I'm wrong. Shit away support if that's all they bring, we're in a bad run of form but I reckon we'd take 4k to their place right now if the fixture was reversed. Why would 2 - 2.5k be shit ?. Your largest away following last year was 3818, to a team down the road, and you averaged 1800 ish away fans. Granted you should travel in slightly greater numbers being the "bigger club", but have you just doubled your fan base since last season?. Granted it would be a new ground for you all to come down to the AMEX etc, but 4K ??? Really ?. I think you may be over cooking your estimation there somehow. As for the game. Tough call really. You guys could finally click and beat us comfortably, or Poyet could do what he does best and work out the tactics perfectly. IF that were to happen then, it could surprise a few people. Should be good - Enjoy. Prediction 1 - 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 http://www.seagulls.co.uk/page/Latest/0,,10433~2451718,00.html? Poyet says his players are also looking forward to coming up against a strong Leicester side, but admits the pressure will be on the home side due to the high expectations at the King Power Stadium. "Every summer during pre-season we talk about the special games during the season and this will be one of them. "They will be playing against Premier League quality players and Leicester are really pushing for the top division, which they want to happen this season. They are expected to finish top two so it will be a very important for game for them. "They will need to win the game so the pressure will definitely be on them but we are going there to win the game, not look for draws. It will be great for my players to test themselves against top-class players." Why is it that opposing managers try and deflect the attention and say we need to win and the pressure is on us ?

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 Why is it that opposing managers try and deflect the attention and say we need to win and the pressure is on us ? In this case though, we do need to win. Kasper Pantsil-----Mills-----St.Ledger-----KoncheskyFernandesWellens-----DannsKingBeckford-----Schlupp I'd like to see Johnson involved at some point to ease him into league action, preferably not if the game is on a knife-edge, though. Took me ages to decide on a centre-half pairing, we really do need to find the right mix there, and quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggers the Fox Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 Expecting a very similar game to So'ton. Plenty of goals, but hopefully one more for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmt Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 First game I'm missing this season, hopefully we'll play as well for the whole game as we've been playing in patches over the past few games. Are games being streamed at the moment, would love to watch on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillwater Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 IMO If Brighton come and try to play football against us then we will win comfortably, 3-1 However if they come and park the bus I can see us getting frustrated conceding goals on the break and getting someone sent off, Brighton then do us 4-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 "They will need to win the game so the pressure will definitely be on them'' The Bristol manager said this, along with Reading's, and we lost both of them games at home. I hope this isn't going to be a trend continuing from Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tummy Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 We took 6,000 to Manchester City.... I have no doubt. We took 5.5 k sellout to Palace last time we played them at their looters pit. The point was someone suggested you bring 4K to our place. The fact that you will only get an allocation of 2.5K at the Amex is neither here nor there, the stats on the football league website suggest you did not take 4 k to any league game away last season, so I was just doubting the random figure suggested. You guys were the 4th best supported team away from home in the whole of the football league last season..... and that is good enough. We were 9th and we were in league 1, which I think you would agree aint too bad either. Your average away following was 1800 can't remember exactly but it was 1.8 something. Ours average was 1396 last year. Anyway forget all this crap.... hope it's a good game. Good luck for the season, and make sure you hammer the Croydon pikey's.

acooling08 Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 How close is Nugent to being fit? Kasper Peltier Bamba Mills Konchesky Fernandes Danns Wellens King Beckford Vassell Bench: Weale, Schlupp, Pantsil, Johnson, St Ledger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 Did we ever actually have a 4k allocation in the league last season? It's all well and good bringing these stats up, but if you're only given 3k you can't take 4/5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the new guy Posted 15 September 2011 Share Posted 15 September 2011 for some reason i cant start new topics? but i have been told that for some reason non of the players are talking to Matt Mills and there has been a huge argument! hope its not true but it i what some one who claims to be close to the club has told me.
