M.D Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Looking at some highlights, they look particularly poor at defending set pieces. If Freeman can get his deliveries right, we could get a couple from free kicks/corners. Don't rate them at all (thats been and done it) and we are more than capable of winning down there.Yep, Greer went off injured against leeds and the German Hunemeier came on who I think is better than the ageing Greer alongside Dunk. They are more than beatable and usually start off slowly and get stronger, so we will see. Im positive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Odd one this. It really should be a home banker, Brighton unbeaten in the league all season, four points clear at the top.Equally, all their games have been close. Won them all by one, or drawn. Bit like us last year in a lower league, seem to have that bit of quality at key times to edge games. Pretty sure they will push their genuine wingers on, which always makes it difficult for us. No logic for it, but think we can sneak a result here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 It's the sort of game we would go out a win. I can't see it though unfortunately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I put it in aa route planner and tips for driving there? To minimise journey time on the M25 which can be and usually is a nightmare get off the M4 at Reading and go on the A322 towards Bracknell. Then pick up the M3 for one junction to hit the M25 a bit further round. You will at least avoid the busiest section of the M25 round Heathrow.

redapple Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I can't see Brighton being Top 6 at the end of season, so can only assume it's a case of them having their 'run of form' at an early stage. I fancy City ( now unbeaten in 3 ) to get at least a point out of it , and I'll be putting my money where my mouth is ! ( in fact I have - 1-0 City , Freeman to score 1st (and only goal) @70-1 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved to Brighton area a couple of years ago and I've done the journey from Bristol 100s of times now and in any sort of traffic this is by far the quickest. M4/M25/M3 late afternoon tomorrow will be a warzone, avoid at all costs. Looks like there will be some POTD for tomorrow too as I'm hoping to take my kids along. Brighton haven't released exact details yet but should be on the website soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Its not necessarily the best footballing teams at the top come the end of the season. We managed it for a whole season under Johnson, winning by narrow margins on a regular basis.foolish to write them off just because they weren't fancied at the start of the season.Looking forward to it though and great motivation for our lot knowing they are still unbeaten.

Radio Bristol not possible down here.You`ve got no chance I`m afraid. I`ve been trying for years but still haven`t found a way. I just make do with a combination of Sky Sports News and OTIB. Since Brighton are top 5live might have a reporter there but doubt it with the CL on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Meanwhile in backward Bristol, the Green Capital of Europe, a railway line lies dormant, passenger station rots and 40 years of bickering continues about the opening of the railway next to AG. Politicians are dumb shits, the lot of them. They need to get out of the City more and realise they are the laughing stock of the Country - even in sleepy old Devon we get things done in quicker time. Send them here to Tallinn and they can see how things are done. All residents have free transport on Buses, Trollies and Trams, this has decreased the amount of cars on the road by almost 25% They are renovating the Rail station and have new trains built in Germany, new Trams and plans are afoot for new hybrid buses, in fact some are already in service. Our air is one of the least polluted in Europe. Just a shame about the Football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
