Brighton & Hove Albion vs Ipswich Town Match Preview

[Bluemike]

I dont get why some think predicting a draw and accepting that as a good point is seen as pessimistic, particularly away from home, I suspect the usual "lets purely look at the league table and sod all else" mentality is creeping in. Brighton are in a false position as far as I am concerned, they have a new manager in place and have lost only one of the last Five games so we have no devine right to expect to turn them over. In fact MM has said as much today and that it is as tough a match as any of the games against the teams at the top and I agree with that.

There were a few grumblings when I predicted uas to lose at home to Derby and some said they couldnt see us losing it, what happened again ? It was a defeat and it didnt do any real harm, some games will be lost, a point tonight would be a good point as long as we dont slip up at home to Wigan, win your home games and continue to pick something at most away games and you will succeed in your targets. Expecting to win virtually every game is silly, Bournemouth dont, Derby dont, Boro dont, in fact even Chelsea dont.

If this was the cup final Bluemike. Who would you expect to win?

Every game is a cup final for our boys now. 20 games left to achieve what would be a career defining and life transforming change.

[BLUEBLOOD]

10 wins and a few draws 83 Pts
11 wins happy days why dream the dream..
Starting tonight.

Hope there is a live stream tonight.

[Bluemike]

A cup final is a one off game, the league is over 46 games, no League has ever been won with the need to win every game.

[Bluemike]

Hope there is a live stream tonight.

Have looked everywhere, there isnt.

[Charnwood]

Hope there is a live stream tonight.

I wish I could find one that's reliable, someone suggested Bet365, has anyone tried that one.

Dont you have to pay ? I think it said on there no streams for Brighton V Ipswich game but not sure.

[Charnwood]

I'll happily take a point if it's the best we can achieve, but if we're serious about pushing for one of the automatic promotion places we have to come away with three points when we visit teams in the relegation zone like Brighton who pretty much average just a point a game.

Brighton: Stockdale, Bruno, Greer, Hughes, Bennett, Holla, Ince, Calderon, Teixeira, Baldock, O'Grady. Subs: Walton, Rea, Chicksen, McCourt, March, Colunga, Best.

Town: Bialkowski, Chambers (c), Mings, Berra, Smith, Skuse, Bru, Anderson, Tabb, N Hunt, Murphy. Subs: Kenny, Parr, Clarke, S Hunt, Bishop, Ambrose, Sears.

[Bluemike]

Happy with that team, pleased to see Skusey back in front of the back Four.

[Charnwood]

The bench looks pretty strong too giving MM plenty of options if we need to utilise them.

[J4ck22]

In regard to streams, midweek games generally aren't covered. It's usually just saturday games.

[Bluemike]

I must admit when you look at Brighton's team we have a hell of a chance here.
