Team News for Brighton v QPR

Last updated : 17 September 2004 By Bob Gear
The central defensive partnership of Cullip & Butters has been looking good in recent games. Butters calf injury means that he will not be available for a couple of weeks

Mark McGhee has confirmed that Adam Virgo will continue in his forward role that has netted him 2 of his 3 goals this season.

This leaves McGhee with a number of other options for a partner for Danny Cullip in the middle of defence. Adam El-abd could move in from right back, Adam Hinshelwood could move from his holding role in Central Midfield. McGhee would then need to find someone to fill that vacant role.

The least disruptive move would appear to be bringing Kerry Mayo in from Left Back to cover Butters, with Dan Harding getting a recall at left back.

It seems likely that Richard Carpenter & Charlie Oatway will both return from injury to a place on the bench.
