Nexstar Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Because it makes you all look like c()cks. I happy to look like a 'c()ck', along with any other set of fans in the country that gets promoted.

saints-cris Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 who else is worried that brighton will not put up much of a fight against hudders Me. Cant see them doing us a favour at all. Probably put out a weakened side and roll over.
thorpie the sinner Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 I thought this until recently! It is last their last game at withdean and they will want to go out on a high in front of their home fans! That said, hudders are very difficult to beat and I think they will sneak it on their own merits!! It would make the achievement all the better if we win our last three games!
NickG Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 They will not want to go into next season on back of poor finish - currently LD..?
Doctoroncall Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Me. Cant see them doing us a favour at all. Probably put out a weakened side and roll over. It will be against league rules to totally change the side, however they do have a couple of promising youngsters who may see some or all the match (especially if Murray is out). Also their captain, Greer, should be back from his four match ban
Fowllyd Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 I think we need to forget all this 'Brighton not wanting to do us a favour' or 'Brighton not wanting us to get second spot' stuff. They're champions already; when it came to the game against us there was plenty said before and after, though mostly from Poyet and their supporters rather than the players. But now, why would they care? Their match against Huddersfield will be decided by who wants it more and who plays better on Saturday, not any considerations of what will happen to us. Footballers are professionals; they can't let third-party considerations bother them. From Brighton's perspective: It's their last home game of the season, and their last ever at the Withdean - they'll want to go out on a big high note; They'll be parading the League One trophy around the ground - another part of the big occasion, so they won't want to spoil it by losing; Clark and Poyet aren't exactly bestest of friends after the game at the Galpharm; They can still get to a hundred points in the season - quite an achievement. From Huddersfield's perspective: They know they have to win; any other result won't do; They can do the double over Brighton - no other team has done that this season; Clark and Poyet as above, though maybe less so from their side (they won the last match, and Poyet seems to be the big grudge-holder). To look at it another way; when we played our last real match at the Dell, we had to win it. It didn't matter to either team in terms of league position (or certainly not in any major way) but it mattered like hell to that Saints team. Doesn't mean that Brighton are destined to win, of course, but I think that any thoughts of them taking it easy are massively misplaced. It's possible that they'll be less up for it than Huddersfield, but if that is the case it will because they're home already - nothing to do with us and our fate. All that said, I fully expect us to win all three remaining games anyway.

Sounded to me as if Huddersfield have the play-offs uppermost in their minds. Then again, so they should!
