the seaside.............or do I ?
An away trip to Brighton on Saturday isn’t exactly what the
doctor ordered. They remain unbeaten in the league this season under the
excellent stewardship of Chris Houghton ( how we could use a manager like him
eh ? ).
Their unbeaten run extends further back than this season I
believe. Looking for a positive though and that run must sometime. I’m sure we
all remember when put a stop the one Huddersfield did under Lee Clarke.
Further to that remember our wonderful run on the way to
winning the Championship that came to an abrupt halt at home to lowly Swindon !
Pre-match and we surely only needed to turn up. Sadly a rare error from Deano
plus the sight and sound of Willie Carson on the pitch made it a day to forget.
Is playing on 5th December an omen ? Probably
not but there aren’t enough straws to clutch at present !
Brighton already had a strong squad but that was further strengthened
last week by the “ emergency loan “ signing James Wilson from Manchester
United. He is a good prospect and not someone we need to be facing right now. Like
a team unbeaten all season were desperate for another player !
For our part I’d like to see Holmes-Dennis start in the back
four with Bauer, Lennon and Solly. Reza really ought to come in for the great
Dane. Hopefully, Skip will be fit to play.
For me, Vaz Te has to start if fit. Whilst I appreciate
Lookman’s precocious talent games like this need experience and nous and his
time will come.
Karel has said we’re going there to play for a win but in reality
I suspect that he will aim to get something on the break if his previous away
efforts are anything to go by.
One hopes that confidence wasn’t too badly affected by last
week’s result. We didn’t play as badly as the scoreline suggests and Ipswich
certainly weren’t that good !
Anything from this game will be a result. Let’s hope the
lads are up for it.
I shall be there tomorrow as this is a rare away day for me.
Here’s hoping for some pre-Christmas cheer !
Come On You Reds !
