Pearson will pick a team that he thinks will not lose against Brighton and has a chance of beating them 1 - 0. I am expecting some fairly dour but effective football in the first ten games.

David Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Injury problems at Brighton....... Chris Hughton's hopes of using Lazio’s visit today as a full-scale dress rehearsal for Albion’s Championship opener at Derby County six days later have been hampered by further injury niggles. That was the initial intention for the showpiece friendly against the Italians following Tuesday’s 4-0 win at Oxford United. Dale Stephens and Liam Rosenior, who both went off nursing knocks at the Kassam Stadium, took part in an in-house match on a shortened pitch during a training session open to supporters at the Amex on Friday. Burnley transfer target Stephens, his left knee strapped, cannot play at Derby as he completes a three-match suspension for his red card in the promotion decider at Middlesbrough at the end of last season. Steve Sidwell, his probable replacement at the iPro Stadium, worked on the sidelines with the physios on a minor knee issue which has ruled him out of the recent warm-up matches. Hughton will be without long-term victims Uwe Huenemeier (groin) and Solly March (knee), although both are making good progress. Connor Goldson is also likely to miss the big kick-off. Knee damage sustained on the pre-season training camp in Tenerife has ruled him out of every friendly. He is not alone. Back-up midfielder Richie Towell’s bid to make an impact during the warm-up programme has again been ruined by a knee problem, caused by the Irishman’s desire to be in top shape when the players reported back. Hughton said: “Connor is not so far away. He will miss out on Sunday. We’re pushing him as hard as we can. “Steve didn’t train. He will be touch and go (for Lazio) but that’s certainly not one that’s an issue. “Solly and Uwe are going to take a little bit longer, and Richie Towell. Unfortunately for him he started pre-season very well and it’s a little bit of a precaution. “He’s felt his knee a little bit, so we’ve taken him down a peg or two. Hopefully he’ll be back soon.” A further concern surrounds first choice goalkeeper David Stockdale. Plagued for most of pre-season by an infected toe, he was eventually forced to withdraw from the open training session with a sore hip. Overall, of the 24 players given squad numbers, six have injuries of varying degrees. Only 16 outfield players are injury-free, a figure which includes fringe trio Rohan Ince, Danny Holla and Elvis Manu. Hughton, not surprisingly in the circumstances, has embraced the development squad’s participation in the controversial revamp of the Football League Trophy. With the abolition of the emergency loan system, the onus is now greater than ever before for under-23s in the care of Simon Rusk to be capable of stepping up to senior duty if required. http://m.theargus.co.uk/sport/14652140.Injury_niggles_could_hinder_plans_for_an_Albion_dress_rehearsal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 These things can work for or against you. In my book their problems mean we have to start hard and fast, get them on the back foot, expose weak links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Is this the official match thread? Might as well be but we probably need some sort of indication in titles or at least pinning for the new season. I'm concerned Hughes didn't start against the Germans and might havve been played out of position in pre-season. Bent has scored three in three so has to start with the shirt. We're surely going to play 4-4-1-1. On the Brighton board they're expecting a draw or a narrow Rams' win. We've some tough opening games and it's oh so important to capitalize on home advantage in the games against our promotion rivals (of whom Brighton will be one). I'm not saying I agree with it but I suspect the starting 11 is going to be: Carson Christie Keogh Shackell Forsyth Blackman Hendrick Johnson Hughes Ince Bent Subs: Grant Pearce Baird Bryson Weimann Martin Russell Guessing Butterfield and Olsson will be deemed unfit for this one. Despite moving several on we've still a massive squad. I still expect Hendrick to be sold before the end of the window, but if Pearson wants to have any chance of keeping him then he has no choice but to start him. Blackman played 90 minutes in the last friendly so I think he has the nod. We would have an embarrassment of midfield riches on the bench or not even making the bench.
