Pilks is out so it will be interesting what team Warnock puts out, although he has very little choice up top. Normally Brighton play 442, will Warnock look to match or will he put the extra man in defence as he has tended to do of late, when away?

I'm expecting McGregor, Pelts, Connolly, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Harris, Hoilett, Zohore as the starting line-up

Bamba still in the jungle so he's not playing for a start.

Apologies to all concerned.

We need Whitts. It' ll be interesting to see who is in the bench tonight or more telling who will not be in the bench. Healy and Kennedy should be after Saturday, but BHA are a class above Burton so we need more experience.

Halford starts. No Whitts. He's on the bench

McGregor, Peltier, Morrison (C), Bamba, Richards, Halford, Ralls, Gunnarsson, Harris, Hoilett & Zohore

Come on Duffy. You have o.g. standards to maintain!
I don't mind if you have to wait for the 2nd half when Whitts comes on with the cavalry.
Just do it!

So Richards and Halford instead of Bennett and Connolly but otherwise as I thought. So Halford clearing up in front of the back 4 allowing Gunnarsson to get further forward in rotation with Ralls.
Really not sure about Halford but hopefully he's improved since his last showing for us.
I think it's going to be a night for patience from the travelling fans but I hope that McGregor can make us tighter at the back allowing a better chance of a clean sheet - which is probably the limit of my hope for tonight now

Bamba in front of the back four again or Halford in midfield?

Re: BRIGHTON v CARDIFF CITY. Matchday thread
City caught out by quick throw but get away with it.

Re: BRIGHTON v CARDIFF CITY. Matchday thread
City sitting well back; hoping to counter on the break.

Re: BRIGHTON v CARDIFF CITY. Matchday thread
BHA shoot just wide.
Sounds like we haven't crossed half-way yet.

Soak up the pressure and weather the storm job hoping to hit em with the old sucker punch.
If it goes pear shaped, options with pace on the bench, and of course Whitts' magic from the dead ball.
Cmooooon Cityyyyyyy! :ayatollah:

Ralls makes first City attack; shoots into side netting.
