Plan of action for tonight.

[RamFromCornwall]

Score more than/the same amount of goals as them.

I hope if the strange similarities of the 2007 playoffs with this one continues, and we go 1-0 after 3 minutes, then we do not immediately capsize and give them a goal back, and more confidence.

Would be happy with 0-0 at half time, as they start to push hopefully we can pick them off and see the job through.

DO NOT CONCEDE AN EARLY GOAL AND LET THEM BACK INTO THE GAME.

We gifted them their first goal as I recall, Byewater just through it straight to them. That let them back into it, lifted them.

We must avoid silly mistakes tonight.

The first goal is the absolute key. They get it and they're level, tails up and have momentum.

We get it, they perhaps hit the panic button, they need two goals now and may start to throw everything at it, it's then when they're most vulnerable and the pace of Ward, Russell, Dawkins, whoever becomes absolutely crucial.

I am sure Steve will be giving them a lecture on the game plan. I expect to see them come out flying & be in an attacking mode. Get the first goal @ 20 minutes in & then pick them apart as they get in panic mode. 2-0 by half time & cruise from there.

That would be ideal, but I don't think we'll come out flying and straight at the attack. We know that Brighton have to attack us, there's no other choice for them and if we keep them from scoring, the longer it goes on the more they'll panic and the more they will leave themselves open to our attacking strengths.
