I suspect Hickey who will be more at home than he was against Hull as I suspect our relationship with the ball will be fairly temporary for most of the match !!

Hickey midfield or KLP??

Could be either way round. If Man City away last season is anything to go by, the warm-up won't tell us the answer either as Hickey warmed up with the defenders for that one but surprised City by playing in midfield.

I think that's the right line up. Brighton manager is right though - we will be going physical rather than pleasing on the eye with that midfield for the first hour.

And that's the right policy - no point trying to out-football Brighton at the moment - they are arguably the best in the league for pretty football at the moment.

for all that it might well be a deliberate misdirect and/or they could rotate around fluidly, I'm inclined to believe Hickey at the LWB with KLP up top of midfield from the order the sheet is writen.

But wouldn't necessarily be surprised if they temporarily swap around (as an alternate trying to catch Brighton off-guard), so Hickey is the the rear-guard in Midfield, Sangare and Janelt pushing up to be some sort of double pivot with KLP dropping back taking over the running duties of LWB

Really interesting game this one, two clubs who'll have done a huge amount of homework on the opposition so wouldn't surprise me if it's low scoring. I think Thiago has a hugely important role to play to try to drag the centre backs out of position. He doesn't need to score today, he needs to make space for others.

We've taken the lead in 3 of our 5 PL games at the Amex and yet have earned only 2 points in across all those visits. Something about that place always sees us get bitten in the arse late on. Haven't walked away from there happy in a long, long time. Time to put that right today.

It’ll be KLP in the 10 as at Villa with Hickey at left back - a quite sensible decision given the quality of the opposition to have a more defensively solid full back than usual.

Don't love the team he's picked, hopefully it turns out to be a genius move

Or it could be mindgames with KLP at LB, Hickey in the double pivot and Sangaré further forward.

It’s great to have options…

It would combat Brighton's flexible movement if Sangaré has licence to roam, so I think it's the more likely formation that Hickey is in midfield.

I can't see why KLP would be selected as a number 10 over Jensen and Damsgaard.

To add to the pre match recommendation for Harvey's Sussex Bitter, the steak pies are also top notch, plenty of steak and not nuclear hot.

No way, how can KLP be considered better in that role than Dams and Jensen. Will be Hickey in the three midfielders

He played there the other week, so I wouldn't say no way.

Has anyone else wondered yet if it'll be KLP or Hickey in midfield then? 🤭😅
 

Brighton 2 Brentford 0

The team has been selected to combat Brighton's forward ambitions.
However, our starting forwards option will hopefully keep Brighton's defence occupied.
Our midfield includes Janelt and Sangare, to add some hard tackling.
Hickey/Lewis-Potter rotating in midfield and defence (imo).
Come on you Bees, make it a day to remember on remembrance Sunday.

Certain it's a midfield 3 of Hickey, Janelt and Sangare.
KLP left back.
Win the batte and release the Danes with 30 mins to go.
 

Brighton 2 Brentford 0

Can’t see why people say potter at 10 when we have Jensen and dams whe are so much better in that role.
It will be hickey in 3 man midfield with janelt as a number 6 and hickey and Sangare as the number 8’s surely?.

It's not really the same role though. I think KLP will be asked to run the Brighton defenders out of position and basically be all over the place offensively. Not really Jensen or Damsgaard's game to do that.

Would make no sense to pick Hickey in midfield given the players we have available.
 

Brighton 2 Brentford 0

Although it looks a strong starting 11 there is a lack of creativity there, need the front three to keep their defence busy. Theres also a very strong bench to turn to if it goes wrong
 

Brighton 2 Brentford 0

That is a ridiculously strong bench.

I think KLP is a great advanced midfielder. I think his energy will cause a very different kind of problem. And Hickey at lb could either tuck in or push forward and tuck in…

Could all be an attempt to bypass the Brighton press structure: less about passing ability in the middle of the park and more about direct running.

I like it

The biggest influence on this game is the ref, in 13 games this season domestic and Europe he has issued 39 yellow and 4 red.
