Tomorrow night.

Evening.

Will you come out and play tomorrow night? I know you did at the Amex and must admit I thought we was rather fortunate to get a draw as thought you looked good. Think we were taken aback from you on how you played as most teams park their bus and try and hit us on the counter attack like Watford did and we got punished badly but we've learnt our lesson from that day and have made sure we're not so naive again. Arsenal came and played our game and if it wasn't for that fluke goal in the 85th minute then we'd have had a draw.

We in 7th and realistically can only catch Middlesbourgh as the rest are out of sight. If it wasn't for Middlesborugh dire performances then the Play - offs would have been sown up and 5 clubs fighting for that 2nd automatic spot.

Middlesborough lose at the weekend has given us a massive lift and we can beat any team in this division if we click which we haven't yet as we're hit and miss, go on a run then lose a few and draw shit loads. We are the draw specialists so I predict a draw but saying that we seem to be your bogey side, can't remember the last time you beat us but saying that you've improved your squad and have an impeccable record at home but we all know that complacently comes into it so we're hoping you're complacent tomorrow evening.

Thoughts?

Shit or bust for us, we need to go all out attack and can see us nicking it if you play an open game.

Brighton are a very good team and tbh i think they have been unlucky in a few games this season, they could be higher up that 7th, its going to be a hard game, i think that we will win 1-0 but a test for us.

If you come here and go all out attack Bellamy , Campbell ,smith ,whittingham and NOONE will punish you .
Really hope you do

Noone will be gentle with us as he's a legend over here. Think you're be in for a harder game than most think.

You were doing well until this comment. You don't seriously believe that I hope..

No I don't

He'll get a standing ovation from us. Great lad and really missed and hope he doesn't tear us to shreds.

Fair play to him he's come on here with a genuine post, so he deserves some genuine answers, personally I hope they will come to get a result and open the game up, it will suit us.

Like Brittcutt said in the interview after the Blackburn game, we fear no one in this league and will go to Cardiff looking for the win. We've been to defensive playing with no wingers and 2 or even three defensive midfielders. Gus has come out and said it's a win or lose from now on so shall be interesting to see the team selection tomorrow evening. Got to start with Buckley on the wing or Lua Lua.

Sounds like we are in for an exciting game of football tomorrow night mate, end to end hopefully, a draw wouldn't be the end of the world for us.

That's what I want, end to end football and if we lose heavily then so be it, I'd rather lose 4-3 than 1-0. Want entertainment and hopefully we can do that for the remaining run in, like I said above it's shit or bust so I'd rather we went for it and if we miss out playing great football then I don't mind. Rather lose by taking the game to the opposition than playing our defensive shit. We'll see if Gus keep to his words tomorrow night. Should be a great game.

You are good enough to beat anyone in this division, but I think we will be to tough for you, best you will get is a draw, but if you do come out to play we will beat you 3 - 1

The best way to play us is crowd the midfield and play one up front and try for a set piece. The one or two teams that came to play got well beat.

I think there will be goals tomorrow, might have a fiver on over 3.5 although we have been so stingy conceding goals we have to score own goals to check the scoreboard still works.

Hope its a good game and you lose, but then go on a mammoth run because you play the right way.

Hope we get the tomorrow

Going to your place and earning a point at the start of the season, when our away form was abysmal, was quite an achievement for us! But our home form is something else, providing we don't concede early and our fans don't get on the players backs, you might be in for a long night!(Also, whittingham is due a goal or two )

But I hope you guys get a playoff spot as you play some cracking football, have good support, and gave us nooney!

That wittingham chap makes you tick in the engine room doesn't he or have you got someone else to pull the strings? Never forget that goal he scored at ours last season, pure class.

Expecting a win in this division is foolish. Brighton will be a tough game, they have some decent creative players and could easily do us. Of course I'm optimistic but to expect a win is stupid.

We're not coming for a poxy point but to show you how football is played


Hope that doesn't come back and bite me tomorrow evening

We are on fire and im pretty confident we will win tomorow. 3-1.

Fair play to him he's come on here with a genuine post, so he deserves some genuine answers, personally I hope they will come to get a result and open the game up, it will suit us.

Sounds like we are in for an exciting game of football tomorrow night mate, end to end hopefully, a draw wouldn't be the end of the world for us.

Forgot to add - Yes a point would do for you as every point get's you nearer auto whereas one point isn't good enough for us so we are better at going for teams from the off and trying to get all the points instead of 1 as they aren't no good anymore.

If we are to make the play-offs and show that we are good enough then we need to go to places like yours and give a good ecount of ourselfs and take 3 points. If we can't go to places like yours and win then we have no business of being in the play offs as if peterborough can win then why not other teams.

You're one of the sides I LEAST look forward to playing.
You're probably the best Footballing side on the league.
I hope we can keep the ball better than last season

U
We keep is extremely well but get really frustrated when teams refuse to press forward. All the commentators have said our game suits the premiership and not the championship because we don't like em up and at us which they are right. Just hope Bellamy isn't playing as he's a pain in the backside. bloody head ace that fella.

If Saturday is anything to go by, trying to play too much from the back could hurt you...
We had Bellers but now Campbell is also a defenders nightmare

Do Brighton still play the 451 / 433 system with the 2 wingers ? If you do and still try to play football like before then i think you have got 1 hell of a chance. Peterboro was very similar. 2 very wide wingers and played neat football and they destroyed us.
Or have you signed Ulloa to play off Craig Mackail-Smith (Allways plays well against us) as does Buckley
What other threats have Brighton got ? Barnes allways seems to be on your scoresheet but not a player iv rated.
Bad blow for you boys with Hoskins out for the season.

First of all, welcome to our forum and I apologise for some of the idiot replies you have received. Your post is very welcome and interesting that deserves some respect from us so I thank you for that.
Thoughts to your post from me is that I think it will be a tight game and probably a draw if you come and defend but if you come to attack us then, as some posters have said, be prepared for a pasting although I will predict a 2-0 win to the Bluebirds.
I think Noone will have a point to prove to you and he will want to keep his place in the side so I don't think he will take it easy with you.
Once again thank you for your contribution and I hope you will return for debate soon.
Good luck for the rest of the season, after tomorrow, I for one hope you get in the playoffs and win it.

Evening tenerife_blu. Haven't seen you on NSC since your last visit last season. Hope you're ok.

Pasting?

It'll be a good match and chances at both ends and can see us winning. I'll eat humble pie if get get eaten and spat out.

I see this encounter has a pivotal point in our season . A win will take us to 70pts but I'm under no illusions that this will be tough match . I still believe there's a lot of work to be done before we can start celebrating .
Another match decided by the odd goal ... Lets hope it's in our favour

Will all your defence be holding hands all evening??

Expecting a win in this division is foolish. Brighton will be a tough game, they have some decent creative players and could easily do us. Of course I'm optimistic but to expect a win is stupid.

How is it stupid if we're top of the league by 8 pts and playing a side in 7th?

I expect the players to produce what they have been doing almost all season, which would lead to me expecting a win.

I expect a tough game that could go either way. Anything can happen in this division. I bet you also expected a win vs Peterborough didn't you? Look how that one turned out.

That's it isn't, this league is so unpredictable, anyone can beat anyone on their day just like Boro proved. That what gives us hope, if Boro can win at your fortress then why not us and that's our mentality for tomorrow. The players will be reminded and geared up big time. I'm expecting fireworks.

Do Brighton still play the 451 / 433 system with the 2 wingers ? If you do and still try to play football like before then i think you have got 1 hell of a chance. Peterboro was very similar. 2 very wide wingers and played neat football and they destroyed us.
Or have you signed Ulloa to play off Craig Mackail-Smith (Allways plays well against us) as does Buckley
What other threats have Brighton got ? Barnes allways seems to be on your scoresheet but not a player iv rated.
Bad blow for you boys with Hoskins out for the season.

We don't play with any wingers anymore

We had three of the best in this division but refused to play them that's why you have Noone. It's our downfall big time that's why Gus says things will change from now on. Hope he's right tomorrow as when Buckley plays when fit then he's a class act.

It certainly won't be boring.

City to win 1-0.

Will all your defence be holding hands all evening??

Only at the end when they go over to celebrate with the fans

I'll give you a stat. Did you know that it's been 75 games now since we've come from behind and won. yes, 75 times the team have taken the lead and we've not one any, shocking statistics so if you go 1-0 up then it'll be either a draw or another lose for us.

Did you know if we go 1-0 we win. strange.

Anyway, I'm off, looking forward to the match tomorrow and may the best team win. Been good chatting with you all.

Regards

Stats like that remind me of Dave Jones when he was our boss, not a good sign I assure you.

So how do they play now ? 442 ? Im glad to hear they dont, missing my 1st home game this year due to work commitments and was looking forward to the Brighton game, Wasnt very confident but after hearing this im thinking another comfortable 3 points are on offer. Your not gonna like hearing this but we havnt really played wel all season at home. But Saturday we was very impressive and its looking like we are hitting a bit of form at the right time. Safe journey if your coming down. Expect a poor atmosphere compared to what we was like at Np. Our new home is a soul less bowl design

The only team that beat us was because of a fluke goal which allowed them to sit back and hammer us on the counter when we massively over committed.

If you come to play I fully expect us to beat you. If you look at the games we've played best during (Wolves Home, Burnley Home, Blackburn Away) it's been because we've been attacked and they've let us tear them apart.

If you sit back we'll probably grind out a win somehow.

I hope you attack though, would like to see a good game of footy

That's the problem Double G, we don't know either. Gus is like rafa benitez, tinkers with the team and formation week in week out. On our match day forums we guess the team and formation and are always wrong. Even when we've won he'll make 3 - 4 changes. He worries about the opposition than let them worry about us.

This is why I have said and keep saying it he's not the man to take us any further. He's reached his limit.

Of cause we're coming to play and nice to hear you want to mix it up on the pitch unlike most teams who just park their buses and try and hit us on the break, it's worked for a couple of teams but we're not so naive anymore, the best line of defense is to attack.

If you beat us playing football then you will have completely deserved it.

I wouldn't expect our players to act complacent though, they have it 100% drilled into them by our manager that complacency is not acceptable.

Evening.

Will you come out and play tomorrow night? I know you did at the Amex and must admit I thought we was rather fortunate to get a draw as thought you looked good. Think we were taken aback from you on how you played as most teams park their bus and try and hit us on the counter attack like Watford did and we got punished badly but we've learnt our lesson from that day and have made sure we're not so naive again.

We in 7th and realistically can only catch Middlesbourgh as the rest are out of sight. If it wasn't for Middlesborugh dire performances then the Play - offs would have been sown up and 5 clubs fighting for that 2nd automatic spot.

Thoughts?

Shit or bust for us, we need to go all out attack and can see us nicking it if you play an open game.

There is NO SUCH THING as all-out attack from Cardiff City, so you can forget that for a start mate.

Our back four, and our midfield will work their bollocks off all night to deny your players space, and
Bellamy and Campbell will be like a rash all over your defenders to stop you trying to build from the
back.

the only real difference at home is our wide players will have a bit more of a go at your
full-backs, we will press whenever possible and hope that Noone, Bellamy, Campbell and
Smith can get at you. Give those players space and they will hurt you. The reason we are
top is because OUR defensive unit from Bellamy right back to Marshall will bust a gut all
night to deny you possession.

Do I think we will win?

I think Malky Mackays first instinct as a manager is not to lose mate, and to take it from
there. THATS what champions are made of ( i hope )

That's why Gus isn't the man for us, he landed on his feet when he got the job, He keeps banging on about he wants to manage Arsenal , Chelsea, spurs, No chance. Our fans think Gus shit doesn't stink but they are so wrong.

Double G,

Not denying there have been games where we just did enough, but our excellent home results includes performances against Wolves, Burnley, Blackpool where We were excellent, good against others including Hull & Palace, then you could argue others where result more important than performance such as Boro and Watford.

I expect and hope for an open game tomorrow, have a lot of respect for the way Brighton play, but I think our confidence and belief is high and expect us to win by a single goal, 2-1 .

Expecting a win in this division is foolish. Brighton will be a tough game, they have some decent creative players and could easily do us. Of course I'm optimistic but to expect a win is stupid.

"I'm optimistic but to expect a win is stupid " has to be the Oxymoron of the day .
