An absolute age to wait before this game because of another absolutely shite International break, honestly what a load of shit.

Good thing is at least I can attend some good northern league games to pass the time

Acheampong at RB for me.

[bigbluewillie 1,859]

Here's my assessment of the situation so far.

Brought a new manager in and nothing looks any different from Poch.

Someone please tell me what Fernandes does, I really don't rate him.

God! I hope Lavia is fit and ready to play, Lavia, Caicedo MF

They get rid of Gallagher and replace him with Drinkwater MK ll

And wtf is Neto about, he's shown nothing yet.

And beat Bournemouth, I very much doubt.

What a fuck up, Clownlike, Toad Boehly, and Egg Balti have made.

Anyone meeting for a drink before kick off or know where the "away pubs" are? Haven't been to Bournemouth away before. Cheers!

Carney Chukwuemeka and Cesare Casadei have been reinstated to the first-team - just weeks after Enzo Maresca insisted there was no way back for any of the club's exiled stars.

So Lavia and Reece James are yet to return to training. That means no chance of making the squad for Bournemouth. I thought Lavia’s injury isn't serious.

 

😵‍💫😵‍💫

Anyone selling away tickets to this game or Brighton home ? 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,477]

I had to look at the date. This weekend!! It’s about time.

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

I still remember last years' fixture. Bournemouth pressed us and on numerous occasions we had counter attacks that we completely fluffed. 

Hoping more like Wolves here finishing wise. Bournemouth will try and press us all game. 

Sanchez

Fofana Tosin Colwill Cucurella

Caicedo

Madueke Palmer Nkunku Neto

Jackson

James, Lavia and Gusto unavailable due to injury, Marseca confirmed.

 

Watching the injury record of RJ, Gusto and Cucurella, I woldn't be so sure there's no way back to Chilwell to the team.. It's only September and they've been in and out, but more like out.

It's not like Chilwell is ever present. On the odd occasion we might need him, he'll probably be injured too.

Expect to see more of Maresca for this game. The first match was understandably reactive low block counter-attacking a la Poch. The second match was slightly different and not for the better.

I hope to see more possession and more control, even if that does not translate into actual dominance. On the other hand, we have enough quality in the squad that should get us unlikely wins here and there. I think Cole is pretty hard to contain when he's having a good match, for ex.

Can't wait!
