thomas Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 They're 3 points above us in the table, have scored even less than we have, have a worse GD ... The onus is still on our front 6 to create and finish; this was never going to be a harsh test for the defense. Not super thrilled about Darlow but I'm almost certain he won't be the deciding factor in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Surely if Woodman doesn't get a chance here then he's probably never likely to under Rafa? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye a crucial Premier League match where our 1st choice keeper is injured and the supposed 2nd clearly isn't rated since he's just recently been dropped after what? 2 games i think? If Rafa rates him enough to have him sat on the bench then why can't he start instead of our already proven dodgy alternative option? I'd also say if he can't handle the pressure of a crucial game at his age then he's in the wrong game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Darlow will be fine. As a unit, we'll be solid tomorrow and he'll be well protected. We are winning this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Surely Woodman is earmarked for a debut against Luton? I'd probably go with Darlow even though he's garbage, purely for the experience factor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably go with Darlow even though he's garbage, purely for the experience factor. I hadn't thought about Luton. Still think i'd rather give the rookie a go instead of a guy who seems error-prone and low on confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodman should have been out on loan for the last 2-3 years tbh, wasting away in the u23's when he needs first team game time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodman should have been out on loan for the last 2-3 years tbh, wasting away in the u23's when he needs first team game time I think he has been out on loan the past couple years in the EFL and SPL, probably should've been out this season too with a recall clause in for us. Imagine he'll start vs Luton next Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon No9 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Would like us to start like this vs Brighton: Woodman Yedlin Lascelles Mbemba Dummet Hayden Shelvey Merino Aarrons Atsu Gayle Darlow is error-prone, Woodman has to start playing games sometime. Why not now? Mbemba deserves to keep his place. Hayden to protect the back four. Shelvey and Merino for creativity. Lets give Aarrons some games in a row and find out how good he is while he's not injured. Ritchie and Murphy hasn't been good recently. Ritchie to come on if we need to change things in the second half. Aarrons, Atsu and Gayle to give us some speed on the wings and up front. Lets go after them from the start and keep the ball on the ground!!! Howay the lads!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I like the look of that that lineup too, but with Manquillo keeping his place as well and Darlow between the sticks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Nervy 2-2. I know there are a lot of points to play for and the tantalising/tortuous (delete as appropriate in Feb) Jan window but I genuinely think we are f***ed if we don't win games like this. For me, it falls into the same category as the three games against fellow relegation contenders towards ends of 2015-16 season we got one point from (was it Sunderland, Villa, Norwich?). Same manager, similar scenario. Different result? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 No Eliot is a big setback, but we are just going to have to manage. Even if he's not ready for today, Woodman has to play in the Cup game, that is for certain. Brighton are second lowest in shots per game, five worst in shots allowed. Fewest goals scored from set pieces. So nothing to be afraid of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Interested to see if we go 5 at the back again as they'll definitely be 4 at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Don't think there's enough between Elliott and Darlow to make much of a difference tbh. Think it'll be Atsu and Ritchie back on the wings and Gayle & Joselu up top. Only real decision for me is between Hayden and Shelvey to partner Merino.

Paully Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 2-0 I’m expecting a cracking atmosphere and a siege mentality from the crowd after the bashing we have taken this week off many pundit bellends and that arrogant pleb of a Man City manager!

hakka Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 So desperately need to win this. Win and we go in to our next two league games with tails up. Lose this and it could be start of something very grim. Hoping for minimum of 7 points out of next 9. Give us a bit of breathing room from the drop zone and time for new recruits to be brought in.
