Brighton Preview
By: Richard Hubbert
Date: 02/05/2003
TOWN may already be relegated, but they can have a big say over who goes down with them on Sunday, with Stoke and Brighton still battling to avoid the drop and Town hosting a Brighton side who know that they must beat the Mariners to have any chance of survival.

The Bottom Line | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Town will be hoping for a decent gate at Blundell Park for the Mariners last division one game for at least a year, especially with Brighton selling all of their 2,300 ticket allocation for the game. With the game being shown live on Sky Sports, needless to say, Town need to put up a good show, if not to persuade the likes of Santos and McDermott that next season could be worth sticking around for. The future does at least look brighter this week with Jarvis signing a reported £500,000 sponsorship deal with the club, something that should give fans heart that beneath the doom and gloom of relegation, there is a chink of optimism teetering around Blundell Park.

The Opposition - Any Good? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Brighton have a relatively small squad, like the Mariners but with a good a mixture of both youth and talent. The ever-youthful keeper Dave Beasant will play for them in goal and is joined in the squad by seasoned pros such like Dave Kitson, Simon Rodger and Dean Blackwell. Up front, Albion’s main threat comes from the dangerous Bobby Zamora (left) who has struck 13 goals this season and of course scored 28 goals to secure the second division championship last season. Also in the side is Icelandic midfielder Ivar Igimarsson who is on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, reunited with Steve Coppell who managed him at Brentford last season.

Last Time Out | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Town won their first game of the season at Brighton in a 2-1 win. Brighton were rooted to the bottom of the table at the time, exactly where the Mariners are now. Darren Barnard and Alan Pouton scored for the Mariners that day, with Bobby Zamora scoring Brihgton’s goal in between Town’s two goals.
Town Team: Coyne, McDermott, Gallimore, Groves (Raven), Ford, Coldicott, Campbell, Barnard, Pouton, Mansaram, Robinson (Rowan) Attendance: 6,547 Report Brighton Head-to-Head (62nd on The Opposition Ladder).
