We kick off the season with an away game at the Amex, Saturday afternoon 15:00<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from no new faces, reserve goalie aside, the pre-season appears to have gone reasonably well? only loosing to Sheffield Wednesday behind closed doors, at least that we know about.
Ryan going off against Eintracht Frankfurt was, fingers crossed, only a precautionary measure, with Antonee not getting any game time after his operation, some reports say he’ll not be fit for the start of the season, we might be a little exposed down the left?, having said that, young Amissah gave a good account of himself against a “Champions League”<\/em> team.
Another lesson learned was that Ra\u00fal has to take free kicks, that was a beautiful goal! he’s also been scoring from free kicks for Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a very lacklustre transfer window, hopefully only “to date” and we’ll have some exciting new players soon?, we get to travel down to the south coat to take on Brighton at their home ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being the first game of the season its obviously far too early to comment on form, we have had a good pre-season, its just a shame any “new” players won’t have had the time to bed in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A plus point, in my view, is that we get to see this seasons away kit for the first time. I’ve always liked the 1999\/2000 away kit, which provided the inspiration, and as a very welcome bonus displaying an “embroidered”, non of your stuck-on tat!, 1995 badge, my favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our record against Brighton, over the last 8 meetings, is very good with 4 wins, 1 loss and 3 draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My team would be, assuming Robinson and Sess’ are unavailable…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
