Brighton have won their last 2 away games in London 2-0 and i cant see things changing here. 2-0 to Brighton.
Hope not but things usually don't go well when they do those ticket promotions, that and the fact that Brighton have a new manager means it will probably end in tears....I'll go for a 2-2 draw though....also it will be our best crowd of the season so far....21-22,000.
The rail problems may affect the crowd, a bad day to have major engineering work!

Good point that but should beat the previous best V Millwall (19,000+).
Did I see we'd recalled Harry Lennon from his loan? I wonder of he might be in line to start at left back?
Such a hard starting line up to predict.
I think I'd be going with Etherington, and I think Bob will too, but suspect the Serbian lad will be in goals sooner rather than later unless Hendo is back soon
For me it would make sense to play Solly left back. It restricts him a bit but he is easily our most competent fit player in that position. Then you have to put either Wilson or Gomez at right back. Now might be the time for a few more experienced heads so maybe Wilson is the better candidate right now.
If we have a right footer at left back, we must have a left footer on the left of midfield, so one of JBG, Moussa or Bulot has to play there, with one of the remaining two on the right or maybe Wilson if Gomez is at fullback. Centre midfield picks itself with Buyens out.
Although I'm not convinced they will make a well balanced pair, Watt and Igor has to be the starting frontline.
As far as possible, I think we need to be getting back to basics and picking players in their natural positions and on their natural side (left back aside).

Moussa is still recovering from injury and Bulot is out in Africa in the African cup, give us another team please Exiled. It makes sense to start with Watt, as he has been training with us for the last 2 weeks, so for that reason I think he will be on the bench with Igor and George up front, with only KAG left as a forward seeing Pygott has gone to Southend

Well, I didn't realise I was actually responsible for picking the team, but if those two definitely aren't available then I'd go with:
It will be good to see JBG on the left - he might even get the chance to cross the ball. I am wondering who BP will play out of position this time.
Is Oguchi fit to play?
We are down to the bare bones, backs against the wall etc. etc. - which is usually when we come good so 3-1 to Charlton. Mr Solly is due a goal at the Valley as well.
I think it will really depend on what team will be put out but I have a bad feeling Solly will be in midfield which is disappointing if correct. Really need a result here but one new face in Watt will not be enough. Brighton are finally moving upwards and will be too strong for us. 2-0 to Brighton.
Just not sure if Bob will send them out asleep and shake them up at half time OR wake them up before kick-off and then send them to sleep with one of his famous snoozy half-time bedtime stories.
"Once upon a time on a drizzly afternoon in Antwerp, boring King Roland from from the fairy palace promised never to open his giant bag of gold again until everyone in his kingdom was fast asleep...........zzzzzzzz."
Just about to set off but fearing the worst (although at least the match will be on unlike games this time last year!).
Massively depends on how Watt and Igor work together for me. Get of the mark and work well together from the start and we start to rebuild our confidence get a few more points on the board and become a bit more of an attractive prospect for loans & signings. Another poor performance and a defeat and I can see this perhaps being the end of the road for Bob.
Sitting firmly on the fence with yet another draw but an entertaining one at 2-2.
I hope thatwith a couple of players having arrived it'll give the sqaud a boost whilst also letting existing players prove they are worthy of their place in the sqaud and the new boys wanting to hit the ground running.
