Chappers is nowhere near ready for a game of this intensity - or the game at West Ham to be honest. We need to bring him back slowly. We have plenty of choice and I think playing Guly in the middle will get the best from him.
Really looking forward to seeing how Sharp and Lambert work together.
Big game today - to go to West Ham a point behind them and on the back of a decent Burnley team would be fantastic.
Back in the groove today - I sense something special is about to happen!

A key part of our early season form was that we would start well, score, then allow the other team to start getting a foothold in the game.......... before hitting them with a sucker punch second/third.
Hope that's what we are going to do now.

But I'll take the plaudits just as Sharp or Lambert will do for their part in the own goal. ;0)

Well done BHA (nice one GordenGull). Glad to see Leeds concede a late one. They nick far too many late winners.
Would love to see the Seagulls win through the play offs (assuming we finish in the top two, of course).
