Crazy Diamond Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 We all know we have to focus on ourselves and control the controllables. Well. Two big games tonight, Brighton v Reading and Skates v Millwall. I think it's worthy of a thread. We all know what we want from the Amex (I think!) but anything but a win for the blue few and it's all over bar the shouting, surely. A friend of mine who supports Reading has just informed me that they have an injury crisis. Ian Harte is facing a late fitness test, Mikele Leigertwood, Hal Robson-Kanu and Jem Karacan are all out of tonight's fixture. Looks set to be a big night. I won't go as far as to cheer on Brighton or Millwall but they have my blessing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Charming Man Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 I'll be cheering on Brighton. Couldn't care less about them normally and as far as I'm concerned, there's no rivalry. Yes Poyet is a c*nt but I'll take pleasure from him being able to do us a favour as that'll probably really grate on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 Come on Brighton!! I'm guessing there are no streams for this? I've had a look but all I can find is Liverpool Vs Blackburn and Wrexham Vs Fleetwood !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton Saint Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 The warped part of me thinks I would rather Reading won tonight as its then less likely they will on Friday. My reckoning is that if Reading lose tonight, then they have so much more focus for Fridays game as that could be the be all and end all of their season. If that makes any sense?

Still don't think the result matters a great deal,not to us.To West Ham yes,their principal wish must be to see Brighton win and both sides seriously depleted.

rshephard3 Posted 10 April, 2012 Share Posted 10 April, 2012 Wish this was on Sky rather then the Blackburn-Liverpool borefest. Agreed. Arguably the biggest of the championship games so far this season at Brighton- Win for Reading, you'd fancy the top 2 big time, win for B'ton it's really hotting up to the finish line for 2nd place and would boost brighton again for playoffs. This excitement compared to Dalglish's bore merchants and Blackburns long ball/long throw fest... Ps, fully expect to witness a 4-4 at Ewood park now!!

I'll follow that by saying... I'm not sure I truly, really want to go back to the Prem.. we win more games than we lose down here... Perhaps we could do a time-share next season... if we don't like it we sacked it off and come back down here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to crtiticise Alps but he has a point here, we're the tougher fixture by far with a great home record. Reading are resting several of their "injured" players apparently for the clash with us.
