North_Stand_Ram Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 We do play in a similar style though. It's still the same short ball game, it's just they're more focused on the defensive side rather than attacking. I think their style will very much suit us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Bobby Bobby Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I've read in a number of places, from Brighton fans mostly: 'we play the same type of football' I just wanted to clarify, we absolutely do not. The only similarities between our style and theirs is the short passing game. It literally starts and stops there. They're a side that like to park the bus, they've got an outlet upfront in Ulloa, who I have no doubts will cause us problems, and they've got two sitting midfielders with, usuaully, three attacking midfielders - from what I can gather. Brighton have conceded 40 goals this season, 12 less than us - I'm guessing since Steve came in, our goals conceded records are quite similar, but I haven't checked. We've scored 84 (the league's highest) and they've scored 55 - 6 more than relegated Barnsley. We're going to come up against a side that are literally going to park the bus and hit us on the counter. Whilst we're, unquestionably, going to go straight out attack. Which I believe is the correct thing to do. If they're going to let us attack, or have the space then don't be scared to bite their hand off - they might hurt us on the break, but, we could equally have the tie sewn up in the first leg. It's going to be an interesting one. Plus, against us they've had less of the ball - which put Brighton out of their comfort zone. Brighton & Hove Albion 1 - 0 Derby County. Ulloa 56. Saying that, I think we could lose 1-0 Thursday, Ulloa header. I think that result would still favour us with the second leg at home - they'd have to come and defend a 1-0 lead at the iPro, not a chance. Literally park the bus???? Have they got a designated driver or do you have to complete the required driving test as part of the medical when signing for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 1-1, Bryson with our goal. Sets it up perfectly for the home leg, where we'll run riot on them in front of a sold-out iPro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'd like to see Dawkins play. Just because I rate him. Think he makes it stick better than the other wingers. So, usual suspects with Hendrick partnering Bryson and Dawkins, Russell with Martin. Ward and Hughes on standby. But it'll be Ward and Russell who get the nod. Whatever though, Mac doesn't hang about if something's not working so we'll give it everything we've got. Nothing gets wasted on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rams-R-us Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Simply cannot predict the play offs. But since I'm a rams fan, I have to go for a derby.
