[Brighton Sky Blue]

Hyam is poor

Da Costa is utter shite

Wilson a basket case of a keeper

Yeah positives all round

I guess in two of those cases the alternative isn't fit enough to start, don't think Eccles deserved to be dropped though

Thought both Marosi and Eccles had done more than enough to keep their places.

Surprising. I’m going to have to wait another game to do my Eccles cake joke now.

 

[Esoterica]

They play their full backs high he will cause them problems and push them back

Or they will have the absolute run of our wings, our CBs will get pulled too wide to cover him and we'll have huge holes in our defence.

That's made the decision for me anyway, I'm not facing this match dry, beer time!

what’s wrong with Marosi then?

 

[Frostie]

He has been shite.
It is, however, a gamble as Wilson has also been up and down form wise.
Rotherham will launch balls long and into the box. Wilson better of two evils here.

Exactly that.

 

[Tommo1993]

Bit nervous about this one and we are crap away so I’m going 1-1. Hope to god(den) we pick up our first away win.

We’ve won away three times already this season.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I have no idea but I cannot see any sane reason to randomly drop him

 

[shmmeee]

What the fuck is that team?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We’ve won away three times already this season.

Just twice in the league from 20 attempts

 

[clint van damme]

Interesting.

No further comment at this stage.

Best way really but personally I'm dismayed ro see Wilson and Dacosta starting.
Marosi isn't the best but I prefer him out of the two.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Wilson,Dacosta and walker game over 3-1 Rotherham.
I really do hope I am wrong !!!

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Tbf the DaCosta change suggests we’re going for it. Hopefully he doesn’t have to defend much.

Marosi dropped for Wilson is mind boggling for me, unless he’s injured obviously.

 

[covcity4life]

Marosi dropped. Maybe good if keeper rknow mistakes will lost them the shirt

Happy da costa in. I ain't given up on him yet

 

[cc84cov]

what’s wrong with Marosi then?

He doesn’t command his box,defenders and can’t come for crosses I’m not even shocked Wilson has come In for this but then again Wilson has made errors from crosses

 

[cc84cov]

Robins is going for it...fair fucks to him

How can people be moaning ?

3-1 win

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Want a performance from Godden and a partnership with Walker tonight. Plus need the ref to protect O'Hare (who I predict they'll kick the crap out of)

 

[better days]

I think the team's been picked to stand up to what's expected to be a very physical approach by Rotherham tonight

 

[Tommo1993]

Correct. I got mixed up with the Derby game.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Starting Da Costa is like setting an untrained police dog off, equal chances he'll either bite you or the criminal

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Hard to defend that team selection

- which I suppose is at least on message as defending is my main worry about it

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I think the team's been picked to stand up to what's expected to be a very physical approach by Rotherham tonight

So is Wilson for Marosi tactical?

I believe so

There is that worry his positional awareness needs to be bang on with osti will need to be in constant contact with him I do think he will help push them back,not worried at all about tonight can’t remember the last time I was this confident...

this also worries me

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I believe so

Apologies @Grendel

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Very fair.

 

[steve101]

Really thought Hamer would be back in after a little rest. He hasn't been anywhere near the form he was earlier in the season but is always likely to score from range. His energy would also be an advantage v a hopefully tiring team. Surprised like most to Wilson and Dacosta starting.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I think the team's been picked to stand up to what's expected to be a very physical approach by Rotherham tonight

If he's expecting it to be a bombardment which cuts out the midfield then he needs Hamer instead of Kelly or James to try and link our attackers.

If we're just playing everyone but the strikers on the edge of our box we won't be able to progress the ball, we'll concede with a stupid error and then wonder why we can't get back in to the game.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

3-0 Rotherham

 

[cov donkey kick]

It's a plus 2 up front attacking thrust in decosta, hyam another tall body at the back and Wilson who doesn't fanny about with ball at his feet as much as morosi and is better on the crosses only downer for me is hamer not in there but he is benched.
Pusb

 

[Esoterica]

Walker needs to step up tonight and pull Richard Wood all over the place. We've got to be all over them from kick off and not give them a moment to settle. Rotherham need to be made to feel like they are against a team who are fresher and sharper. Make those who played on Tuesday beg for half time.

 

[shmmeee]

3-0 Rotherham

What about the second half?

 

[Grendel]

I think the team's been picked to stand up to what's expected to be a very physical approach by Rotherham tonight

Yeah Da Costa and Wilson are really physical

He does find himself in some nice attacking positions but always fires the cross first time. We're going to have to score 2 or 3 to win this

Suspect the issue with Hamer is his work rate
And he's gone missing in some of the rougher games
Expect to see him come on at some point

What about the second half?

*What about the next 80 minutes
