Especially since Monday night in the UK is right in the middle of my work day. I can't ever listen to/watch a Monday night game.

As we used to say in math class, it sucks summarily.

This fixture always seems to be on at a weird time since they moved to the AmEx. I've been there twice - the 3-3 and then the 2-2 the following season and both were a Friday night if I remember correctly. First one I drove from Pinewood Studios, where I worked at the time, down to Brighton and then on to North Devon where I lived at the time after the game.......arriving home at about 3:30 in the morning.

I went to the 2-2 draw on a Friday night when we were always 2nd best but somehow came away with a point. I can't understand why it seems to be chosen by Sky every season. It would mean two days off work for me plus the expense of a hotel/b&b therefore until we play them at 3 pm on a Saturday I can't see myself travelling there again. I have a feeling that we're not going to lose, maybe I'm just being over optimistic.

The team I would pick:
GK Silvestri
RB Berardi
CB Bamba
CB Cooper
LB Taylor
CDM Bridcutt
RM Dallas
CM Murphy (Dave has done very well, however, I think we need to solve the goals problem and switching to 4-1-4-1 could be an option)
CM Mowatt
LM Cook (To cover Taylor as Brighton's main threat in my opinion is Knockaert)
STR Doukara
Subs: Peacock Farrell, Wooton, Coyle, Dave, Carayol, Botaka, Erwin.

Get the feeling if Sky could swing it they would have 2 matches on a night - the second starting at half time in the first.
Every game I predict a 3 - 1 Leeds win, I am traditional like that.

Guessing Coyle is playing Right Wing to protect Wootton, looks quite strong defensively not sure about going forward though, I hope they prove me wrong, Come On Leeds
