I would settle for a away point!
If Leicester go down they have unfinished business in the EFL [FFP?]
Why was Lewis Dunk not yellow carded for deliberate h/ball last night?

Why was Lewis Dunk not yellow carded for deliberate h/ball last night?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I thought the same thing. Niakhate was against Newcastle and it was exactly the same.
Last night was a great result, the second half was amazing. However, Brighton should have scored two more goals as they missed two sitters. One was a good save but either side of the keeper and it’s a goal. I think if we keep conceding those kind of chances we will struggle to get more points.
I don’t think we will stop conceding though so we have to just keep up the energy, hope for some luck and keep trying to get goals.
Not playing ‘trumps’ but we missed better chances than Brighton last night, Penalty miss, Johnson clean through on goal, didn’t hit the target, to name just a few.
You get the occasional game where everything flies into the net, Liverpool V Utd for instance, but by and large the successful strike rate is probably in the low 30 per cent region.
At least we are starting to create chances, we had a couple of clear ones at Anfield, and several good ones last night, which is at least promising.
On the down side, Awoniyi looks totally incapable of putting the ball in the net.
Williams is out for the season, with what looks like a fractured jaw, that gives us as many as 13 unavailable players,
Niakhate looks touch and go, certainly for Brentford, which would leave us with no cover at centre backs, unless Yates manages to get fit.
Basically the team is almost picking itself as we have so few players available, Aurier and Kouyate are only just coming back from injury so may also not be able to last a full 90 minutes.
However, in adversity, you find what players are really made of, unfortunately some will slip in it.
The big plus point here is steve cooper, I believe he has the B.C touch he can get more out of a group of players than just about any other manager.
We all need to hold our nerve!
Yet another massive test for the depleted Garibaldi.
This will be our first visit to the new stadium, but having won at their Griffin park on our last visit, 1-0 i seem to remember, it would be nice to carry on in the same vein.
Team news will yet again be interesting, Awoniyi a doubt, though not a great loss, particularly away from home,
I would expect Kouyate to start, assuming Yates is still missing, with the back four almost picking itself, again depending on Niakhate.
Shelvey may be needed on the bench, mainly because we are running out of other options.
A point today would be a fantastic result, Fester managed a 1-1 there recently, with a win the stuff dreams are made of.
Can’t see us getting a 0-0, and with massive optimism i am going for a 1-1, Johnno to make amends for midweek.
The one thing we definitely don’t need are injuries or suspensions.
Stick with the plan Cooper sets out, like against BHA and we have a chance, again fingers crossed.

Worrall for Williams is the only change.
Only just noticed Yates is on the bench, a massive boost. He’s

Yeah that’s the biggest plus of the day. I think we really need him if we are going to pull off the great escape. He really gives energy, mobility and an edge to the midfield. We will need that for sure
Afternoon all.
Thanks for posting 'chile.
Been looking forward to this since wednesday night. Hopefully we maintain the form of the last two games
A clean sheet and no injuries will be enough for me today.
Lucky for Wolves they are not in the mix with us
Awoniyi heads over an open goal, poor miss, again, only had to hit the target.
Good save by Navas, possibly a double save.
Felipe has been booked, has to be careful.
YYEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Danilo two in two
Come on you Reeeeedddddsss
That long throw really is a weapon.
Get in, another Cooper masterclass ??
Scoring in back to back away games. Goals in injury time. What's happening with this team !
Brentford have had the majority of possession, but we’ve had the clearer chances.
Great away performance so far. It shows how a bit of confidence makes you play more on the front foot. It means teams are not walking all over you from the start.
I think having Awonyi in changes the formation up front and Gibbs White comes into games more as a result. I think add in Yates possibly and this is our best 11.
