Did you see either of the (Luton) lads we had drink with in the Buzza after our last Luton home game?

I think they were going tonight.

Afraid not.

I often went on a spare afternoon to the Goldstone and sat in the old West Stand and watch the reserves.

That's just it, I would do the same quiet frequently, but with the hassle of going to Worthing makes it alot less attractive and coming home to nsc and beer a certain

That's just it, I don't supose they can play them anywhere. Could they not play the odd few games at withdean during the season at international breaks etc?

The old crusty's of Withdean would not stand for that, stupid old sods.

Re: Reserves tonight - anyone else go?

Just back from tonight's 0-0 at Woodside Road v Luton Reserves. Hard fought game, although I missed the first 20 minutes.
Positives first:
* FDM makes confident return, playing the first 45 minutes. Didn't have too much to do, but it was interesting standing behind the goal and seeing how much he shouts at/encourages his defence. Non-stop for the whole half, with a few interesting exchanges of views with Adam El-Abd, who had a muscular battle with one of their tall strikers.
* Chaigneau on in second half and made a couple of decent saves, including one excellent push round a post from a well hit free kick
* Jakey looked lively, linking well with pocket dynamo Dean Cox who got down the right to good effect. Should have scored from one through the ball with just the keeper to beat. Coxy fizzed one drive from 20 yards just past the left hand post after a corner.
* Joel Lynch had a solid game at the back, using his height well and getting in some key tackles
Now the negatives:
* Turienzo just isn't up to it in my view. He wasted several good six yard box opportunities created by Jakey and Coxy's industry, and while he won the odd header his positional sense wasn't great and his control even worse. Would be very disturbed to see him in the first team.
* Alexis Nicolas didn't have a great game. Misplaced too many passes and while always busy, never did anything of much quality.
* Generally scrappy performance with little evidence of too many staking a claim on a first team place beyond those we already know about. Frutos drifted out of the game too often.
not a bad night's football all in all.
Anyone else agree/disagree?

Agree with most of that although I thought Frutos did well. He had a couple of shots on goal that were promising.
Turienzo was awful and maybe others will now believe me when I say Nicolas is not good enough for the first team at the moment.

In your opinions is Turienzo as 'good' as Big Mac?

He's not that bad.

I cannot believe that Turienzo is going to be a bad player after we spent that much on him.

But he really hasn't done a lot to convince me he is a decent player.

He did show a couple of good touches, but did not look sharp in front of goal.

He was not bought as a goal-scorer - his record in Argentine football is hardly prolific - but as a link-player. He may not have has a good game tonight but give him his chance to settle, remember Darren Currie.

To settle he would need to put some effort in and watch what was going on.
He didn't do either tonight.

He was looking for the ball everytime Kuipers was kicking it out. (Kuipers kicking was good tonight.)

The games I saw him play in, that was the case.

 

[Silent Bob]

I can't believe someone who has played as many games as Turienzo has in the Argentinian top division and even the Copa Libertadores will turn out to be a bad player.

Different type of player

Maybe people should not be so quick to judge

 

[Bakesy]

How did Rents look?

With his eyes........just like the rest of us.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Thats so bad its funny

 

[Yorkie]

Meaning what?

Look back over your posts today about Kuipers.
It's all about opinions Kinks

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Ive had 4 years to come to that - its not aimed at you - just people come to quick conclusions - that italian Brentford signed (forget his name) People were screaming for Brighton to sign him after 2 games

I didn't say he was bad. I said he needed to put some effort in and look interested.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

People after said he was shit - I cant judge as i have not seen him
