I think Willock will start over Miley---much different roles and with Big Joe out, I think EH will go with Willock's ability to move the ball upfield. I still think he's protecting the lad a bit as well.

I think it’s some kind of mod/rocker Brighton Rock type thing, I dunno, I’ve never seen the film nor read the book. If I was them I’d have lost all interest by now, especially as they’ve barely played each other, surely, bearing in mind Brighton’s former league status? I like Brighton though, it’s the kinda town that’s always been famous and deserves the big club it’s now got. Hard game.

Dan Asworth/Mick Wadsworth perhaps. Questionable hit rate. For every Acuna there’s a Bassedas. (Ancient proverb):)

Not convinced 7 points will sort my heart out Nick but I know where you're coming from.

Need to get the consistency back, which can be tricky without the chief bosher in midfield. He really is unique and we are going to have to play differently.

Need Isak to get hungry again and give him some service.

Actually we need a lot but what we really need is to be "at it" again.

Brilliant preview, Nick. Brighton is a lovely place with lovely people… completely the opposite of Crystal Palace. But yeah they’re definitely one of our bogey teams. I too am concerned about that bloody referee. What is it with Newcastle, Brighton and dodgy refs? It’s the trio that just keeps on giving… wins to Brighton. Let’s hope things are different tomorrow!
