Will we open up to the Hove's fitness? Brighton 26/9

[TANGODANCER]

Talk of a Bolton sub before Amos wallops it forth. It all ends back with Stockdale. We go and.....they clear. We go again and.....Madine and Moxey figure and.....we win a corner. Dobbie replaces Silva who appears less then happy claims our man. Dobbie corner and...cleared and...we go back and the keeper has it. GET THAT EQUALISER....They have a player swap as we go again and....luckily keep possession . Davies, goes and...they clear. Dave nods it back and now Moxey and....ohhhhhh Feeney leathers one and the keeper gets in the way. The Gulls visit and.....Murphy gets a red and is gone for savaging Danns?

"Attempt saved. Liam Feeney (Bolton Wanderers) right footed shot from outside the box is saved in the top right corner. Assisted by Gary Madine."

Dang! Wrong way round!

[CrazyHorse]

Madine just failed to score. Blimey.

Nervously gabbling but I've just noticed their bench includes the brilliantly-named Mäenpää.

he was born in Espoo... little-known fact!

Madine just failed to score. Blimey.

Interesting to see how Brighton (who usually play a flat 4-4-2) cope with the red card - they made one sub early in the second half, and had just made another when Murphy fought the law (and the law won).

As for us, you wonder if Clayton's going to last the full 90 – and if not, with us chasing the game and Brighton presumably holding what they have, will Lennon throw Woolery on?

[thebish]

we have to be able to score at home against 10 men, surely?

Nothing is beyond us. Or, apparently, below us...

[TANGODANCER]

Can we capitalise on this? Ohhhhhh Madine just can't beat the keeper who makes a great save and....we're in the last fifteen. Davies visits, Dobbie does likewise and....and.....some ping pong and panic in their box. We go again and....Feeney, Danns, Davies and cleared for a throw. Balldock leaves for Calderon for the gulls. Davies sets off again, we give away a con free kick for a gull falling over the ball. Throw them now..... and now another. Pizano wins a throw for us and.... Wheater sets us off but slowly. Amost to Danns, Feeney, Pisano.....Davies, Moxey....Danns, Prince and cleared....Wheater feeds Feeney, Moxey, Danns and a wild rover as Tom Walker replaces Max Clayton. The lad gets good applause.

Brighton bring on Calderon (right-back) for Baldock (forward). Not quite sure why they had earlier replaced injured right-back Bruno with winger Solly March, but they appear to be being discreet rather than valorous. We might as well go for this now. Push the full-backs high, loosen Davies's defensive responsibilities, see if we can make something happen round their box.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Spearing on for Danns. No idea why.

hold on to what we've got!! it's the future!!! at first sight it seems like an odd choice whilst chasing the game against 10 men...

[norm the jedi]

Ipswich equalise and we're off the bottom..
fer now

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

"Prince tries a through ball, but David Wheater is caught offside."

Obviously the world has gone mad.

[thebish]

shouldn't we just attack, attack, attack, attack, attack - and see what 'appens?

Blackburn equalise at Hull and they're out of the drop zone...
fer now

[thebish]

let's spoil everyone's day... ManU are top...

I wonder - those at the match may confirm - whether he's stuck Big Wheats up top for the last few minutes, a la Millsy last season

ahh - hence him being caught offside just now...

i've always thought wheater should score more than he does... today would be a good day to start!
