Great effort everyone, I think there is just enough fume pre-match to secure a cracking win today

I think the most interesting choice is Armstrong. Not entirely sure where he fits into this lineup.
Let’s be honest, who is genuinely surprised at 4 CBs? Maybe disappointed, but it’s so Moyes.

Truth in rumour on Myko being sold to Athletico maybe? ...he isnt on the bench.
Be far happier seeing Branthwaite at left CB and Aznou on the left but he's nowhere to be seen either.
Dunno, all very weird.

Yay, when my client told me he was taking me to this I thought I’d be seeing Jack Grealish, but nah, just 4 cb’s

I'm not annoyed over the 4 CBs thing. Mykolenko is at the point now where his teammates ignore him, so I'd rather see literally anyone else at LB.
Branthwaite I remember player there a couple of years ago and he was actually quite good.
RB is a different issue.

Shocked with Branthwaite at LB coming off a hamstring injury that kept him out for 6 months.
Let's put our 6ft4 CB in the most physically demanding position for his hammies two weeks after coming back to training. Insane decision regardless of personnel.
Just put Garner there if you need to. Asking for Branthwaite to get injured again.

Never been to Brighton. Seems as if it’s in the countryside from the pics as the pre match show opened

Afternoon folks
Anyone know where Myko is then?
Not even on the bench

Unsurprisingly, we are soooo narrow right now.
