Be interesting to see how Alfa Semedo features now he's had over a year in the game over here.

I'd happily take a point from this one.

[Tricky]

Can we ask them if there is room on their team coach to take Blackett back with them?

Hope Worrall keeps that armband now that he's got it.

Definitely. 

I'm not as down on Colback as some are, but Grabs & Colback are two players which really don't inspire me as captains.

Wozza's shown what he can do. He should be club captain and no mistake.

Worrall is the perfect candidate to be the club captain. He has grown through the academy from a very early age and supported the team when he wasnt representing it. He knows and understands the clubs ethos and ambitions. He knows the fans expectations. He has lived and walked amongst us. He has cheered alongside us, cried with us no doubt. He knows us. He is a part of us.

He is clearly not afraid to speak his mind, or let other players have a piece of it if they have screwed up!

He wears the armband as a badge of honour, not as a milestone around his neck. He crosses that white line with his chest swelled with pride. The armband swells it even more. There is nobody I would sooner have to lead us back into the Premier League than Joe.

He is like a stick of Skeggy rock. Cut him in half and you've got Nottingham Forest running right through him!

Is it wise to play Worrall twice in 4 days if he is just coming back from injury?

Difficult one SM. If it was down to me I would risk it.

Going to have to rotate him at some point so just need to pick which games I guess

Bloody hell Tricky, I was getting hyped up and emotional just reading that. What a speech that would make. You've got my vote....?

i think the challenge for Chris Hughton is to get a fully firing group of 16 players all chomping at the bit and oozing class

the biggest positives for me were Cafu and Worrall both coming in cold and fitting straight in and bringing lots to the party and inspiring players around them

i was really happy with everyones contribution versus Watford, excepting Sammy Ammy's diabolical cross come clearance, but anyone can do something diabolical from time to time.

i think Chris Hughton can get the win but needs to embrace the awesome infusion that 5 subs can offer and help pace the team through the fixture congestion, considering he could hold back Cafu till later alongside Grabban, Guerrero, Mighten, Freeman, McKenna imagine that lot, or just 2 or 3 of those coming on for the 2nd half or last 30 mins or whatever.

I certainly think the team looked much better v Watford, it was more effective, positive and Cafu's energy and intelligence looks promising, but, needing a run of wins, we need to be working around 16 players to get the most out of each game and the squad.
