Brighton vs Brentford

[MagpieBee]

Tough fixture for us after the international break, though Brighton have a couple of injuries so I wouldn't count us completely out.

I would imagine we'll go for pace and try to counter a bit, Kaikai might not be fit enough to start but if he is then I think he'll play. We'll probably go for something like this, with someone else on the bench instead of Hofmann:

Bentley
Colin Dean Egan Elder
Yennaris Woods
Kaikai Macleod Vibe
Hogan

Bonham
Bjelland
Barbet
Kerschbaummer
Saunders
Sawyers
Hofmann

Brighton to win 3-1

We are actually looking much healthier on the injury front now, it's just if any of Goldson, Hunemeier or March come back into the fold they're gonna be short on match practise, having been out for so long. (The signing of Duffy to partner Dunk lessens the need anyway)

For us it's mainly a question of whether Stephens will go straight back into the side having failed to push through a move on deadline day with his transfer request being rejected. We're also down to just Murray and Hemed as striking options with Baldock serving a 1-match ban.

Our Amex performances have very decent so far but I expect this to be the toughest test yet.

Anything but a defeat here is a nice bonus.

Got to love Hogan. He'll go for a lot of money soon. Need to try and get him a new contract

Hogan is so good. Lethal when he gets a chance. Great performance from everyone today, delighted!

 

[Costello]

We really weren't at the races, so many individuals well below par. Hogan took his goals very well and was impressed with Brentford's pace and movement.

Would like to put it down to a bad day at the office as far as we're concerned but a little worried by the recent run. Need Stephens and Goldson back in the starting line-up from Tuesday.
