May 3, 201411 yr Beat Brighton twice this season compared to drawing and losing against reading, quite pleased, fancy us massively.
May 3, 201411 yr Best possible opponents in my opinion, won't get overly physical in an attempt to stop us and play football which is to our advantage, got a good record against them a well this season. COYR
May 3, 201411 yr Author Must admit I wanted them over Reading, just because we've got the record against them. They thrive on possession so no anti-football sh*te like we could have got with some other teams, which really gives us a massive advantage. It'll be a good two games for neutrals.
May 3, 201411 yr No complacency, but over the season they've tried to play in a similar style as us, but just haven't done it nearly as well. Looking forward to a trip to the seaside. Bring it on!
May 3, 201411 yr Not scared by these at all, just get a decent result first leg, then destroy them at home.
May 3, 201411 yr Fancy Derby against anyone at the minute... Pity it's not Forest... Assume they went up today? Yes?
May 3, 201411 yr They play a possession game but aren't really that forceful I don't think? Closer to our Clough early season displays in recent years than McClaren's minimal touch once you cross the halfway line style?? Pretty to watch but quite pedestrian. If we don't beat these over 2 legs then it'll be a bit of a let down. Sounds arrogant because we aren't miles better than anyone. But we are favourites. We have the home advantage for the second leg. Let's hope they try to keep it nice and slow and tight. Not 100mph with plenty of diagonals to Ulloa.
May 3, 201411 yr So it's going to be a week of family tension and grief in this household - season ticket holder with my Brighton born kids at the Amex. Have always sat in the away end for previous Rams visits but think I may have no option but to sit on my hands amongst the Seagull faithful on Thursday.
May 3, 201411 yr I'm OK with Brighton. I've thought about the whole 'who do you want in the playoffs' question a bit lately, and I came to the conclusion that I'm not that bothered - if you want to go up you have to beat 2 out of the other 3 teams as it is, and the one you don't play is probably not as good as the one who knocks them out to reach the final anyway. As they say, if you want to be the best you've got to beat the best.
May 3, 201411 yr Whatever happens.... I'm proud to be a Ram and it's been amazing what has happened this season. Think I remarked very early on I started to fall out of love with football, how stupid was I! Can't wait!
May 3, 201411 yr General consensus amongst Brighton fans is "How the f**k did we make the playoffs?!" . Their recent performances have been pretty dire with Ulloa the only goal threat. Lots of possession football bit bit toothless up front.
