Agreed, you do not carry passengers at this level of footbal and last of all in between the sticks. The sooner we see the back of him the better.
To think we could have had Sullivan who talked, commanded his box and at least looked like a keeper.
I pray Kuipers gets back quick.
In fairness under Slade we were even deeper, that said it has festered as a trait into the Albion that we sit far too deep, when you have a defence that lacks pace and is low on confidence the easiest thing is to sit deep and come on to the ball.................but as you say it then screws the...
Sadly this is how I feel also after tonight. I know "defend as a team" and all that but if I were an Albion midfielder or forward I would go mental and eventually drop your head playing with our back five.
I know I have only played county league but one thing I always learnt as a centre half is...
Trust me, where ever you were you better off. It was awful, I sympathise as Gus was trying things out.
From my drenched seat in the family stand Crofts and Elliot retained some dignity. Everyone else was truly poor considering the opposition!
One of my footballing rules (what ever that is...
Maybe it was my 3 year old and 5 year old constantly pestering me in the family stand but I have to say I forgot he was on the pitch until he was subbed. On the positive side he has lost some weight!
Oh dear that scares me. Smith is so poor. Defenders heading for him in his six yard box off a corner was the last straw for me. If your keeper is crap it infests through the team. Leeds best team I have seen by a country mile. A game to forget
Harding got a booing like I have not heard in a long time, well deserved he always thought he was bigger than the club, twat.
Hammond got a boo on announcement of his name, I gave him a clap given he was dedicated when he played for us.
Wilkins????? I did not see him the whole game!!!
Agreed, the only pro keeper who shouted nothing in 45 mins (last weekend), sat right behind him and he was poor, nervous and lacks stature.
Get kuipers back in and a manager that can get the defence playing further up the pitch so the team can play as a team
i love these ratings, real insight when I could not attend
watching win against gillingham the whole team was hampered by sitting far too deep, that is the fault of the two centre half. when i read this i hear again elphick and virgs were piss poor.
the thread above that states elphich carries...
Completely agree with this, a fine servant and great form last season end, but time has come to say that he is not good enough, fit enough or mobile enough for our team.
Many thanks Harty nothing against you just better players around now.
Sorry Murray mints you are being harsh. Subs were spot on. You will find davies showed a footballing brain an won more than Dickinson did.
Been a long time that I was encouraged by our defeat.
They looked shagged at end hence fitness may need to be worked on.
Spades comments spot on ...
Michel 7 - Did nothing wrong all day
Whing 4 - I kid you not I am gutted we did not sell him, his endeavour flattered to deceive last year, he completed pass ratio is poor, his distribution is poor, some times he can defend, cost us so many goals last season and he is off the mark already...
Is anyone else on the 2220 from Bristol Temple Meads back to Paddington?
Am I dreaming thinking I am going to get this train?
Anyone with local knowledge?
Andersen - 7 - clean handling, left exposed by defence at times
Whing - 7 - excellent motivation, my only issue is he does not get tight enough and too many crosses and shots come from his side, he was better on the ball today though. One awful header across goal that lead to their offside goal...
yesterday was new low for me! 2k fans let down, post match pints numbed the pain but this morning the dire reality has set in.
give slade the next 2 games to work some magic if he can't then next weekend could be more depressing!
fantastic support though shame we have been served a shower of...
You fools, the fact this person was running suggests it can not be Gazza.............unless that is Brighton Uni had a happy our on Burgers in the canteen!!!!!!!!!!
