[Football Chap]

Remember everyone used to give each other dead legs at school

 

[Football Chap]

They have to amputate

FFS you got to be more careful, the medical team read this forum for tips

 

[VonnegutBusy]

You gotta start Xavi.

He's probably fucked. Played a lot of mins since joining and will still be adapting to the physicality of English football.

Can't just run 11 players into the ground.

He’s injured because Scarlett doesn’t get on the bench before him if he’s fit.

Also, Frank has options to release the handbrake second half.

Its a tough game, he's right to air on the side of caution with that midfield.

Jdtvwondering if franks natural instinct to be cautious is over taking his thinking. Brighton will play open so we meed ballers.

He doesn't have to [play the whole game, but you gotta start him today.

 

[Spursidol]

you'd be fine in a couple of days.

He'll play and hopefully start on Wed.

I'd say zero chance of starting Wed.

Played about 15 mins and didn't look fully fit v Villlareal.

More likely on bench v Doncaster (assuming over dead leg) and say 30 mins in 2nd half - which is what I was hoping he could do today - as he builds up fitness

 

[factofthemabbutt]

We've had some weird games down there, some proper shockers... The Lloris backwards arm breaker set the tone... It seemed to haunt us ever since...

Time to put that to bed now I reckon... Lloris is fine now!!


I'm gonna say a 3-1 win... But WHO too???

They’ve been one of our bizarre bogey teams but today the seagulls aren’t having our chips! COYS

 

[FOK]

Just hope we create more chances today than wed and test their keeper a lot more, I don't mind Sarr getting a rest at all btw he's been brilliant.

 

[Richard Arlison]

Bergvall is more creative than Sarr so he will compliment the two sitters better.
Also it's the first game this season where we have two proper wingers to stretch the game. I think we will be good on the transition.

But if you have both Fridges, why not Xavi?

But why both Fridges anyway?

yeah you're prob right,

I just wanna see him play.

 

[AudereEstFacere]

This should be a good game to see how we’re progressing.

Brighton have always given us a game and if we come away with another clean sheet, then I think we’re doing really well.

Hope we can get a Xavi Simons in the 10 and have Odobert/Tel on the left as I want to see how he’s like when more central.

What is a dead leg?

Click to shrink...

When you were a kid you never punched your mates in the arm until it went numb?

It’s like that with a leg and usually needed to use a knee to give someone a dead leg.

Still remember one mate stabbing me in the arm 5 times with a compass then giving me a dead arm. Blood coming through my school shirt, instant attention from girls I almost thanked him for it. Still tripped him up on the walk home from school.

Life used to be much simpler

Why?

 

[thinktank]

A draw would be a decent result.

 

[Aphex]

Line up doesn't feel me with confidence from an attacking perspective.

Richarlison has to turn up today, another stinker and we will really struggle to score, especially if Odobert doesn't do much on the left.

Anyway, Frank will know what he's doing and we do need to freshen the team up for sure.

If anyone like me fishing to watch the game. Any good watering holes would be appreciated
