Central midfield pairing for Brighton

[Yorkie]

O'Callaghan scored a lot of very good goals in Ireland. And dont snub the Irish league because the fella Reading bought are doing pretty well! He's got a great free kick.

I queried it because of the post I quoted. I know O'Callaghan is capable of scoring. I wish he would.

2-5-3 ??

Kuipers

Elphick Richards/Lynch(when fit)

Robinson Fraser Hammond O'Callaghan Cox

Savage Revell Forster

 

[surrey jim]

Is he ginger YES

oi we have rights

 

[the right footed denilson]

Let's not get too excited. Fraser has one good game- one swallow doth not a summer make. We are too quick to celebrate young players when they have one decent game and it almost always results in them being unfairly slated a few matches down the line.

Or conversely, like Elphick, he can have improved enough now in the reserves to make the step up.

I'd play Fraser and Hammond then put O'Callaghan alongside Forster up front

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Fraser and Hammond did well in the Leeds game together, and therefore don't deserve to be dropped, for me O'Callaghan is a good player but plays far too deep, usually just in front of the back four, meaning we often tend to play too deep and invite pressure onto the defense and create less chances, If O'Callaghan does play, I would like to see him play much high up the field where his ability would hopefully be more productive in producing opportunities.

It's good this season that we now have competition in most areas of the pitch, something we have lacked recently.

The best position I ever saw Tommy Fraser play in was in the back four (pre season v Crawley last year). He was magnificent. Perhaps too slight to be a central defender though

 

[Basil Fawlty]

This is difficult, espically with how Fraser played yesterday. I would actually stick with George in the middle with Hammond, and Fraser could be a ideal replacement to bring on in the Second half.

 

[Scotty Mac]

hammond WONT be dropped - despite the fact that fraser was superb yesterday. savage was a joke, wouldnt suprise me to see wilkins shove hammond out on the left and move cox to the right

 

[Silent Bob]

All three, with a front three of Cox, Robinson, and Forster.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Yes TLO it was his first game in Central Midfield and I believe its also his preferred position as well.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

When McGhee brought Hammond into the team he played him out wide, and Hammond scored quite a few goals from there. One position we've struggled with is the right-midfield. Personally it makes sense to me to put Fraser in the holding role in central midfield with George given a bit more license to push on, and have Hammond & Cox in the wide areas. Both can play either wing, and one of our main tactics in the past has been to target a smaller full-back with long diagonal balls for Savage to get on to.... Hammond can do that job well.

I would play a midfield of Hammond - Fraser - GoC - Cox

 

[mona]

Possibly play all 3.
Have 3 at the back. Cox and Richards/Rents wide.
Two upfront / Robinson in the hole and a striker ahead of him.

I rate O'Callaghan but don't think he has the range or quality of Hammond. Fraser has the potential to be better than both of them.

 

[Nemesis]

Hammond scores goals,

18 goals in 120 games covering 2002-2003 to 2006-2007 would suggest that he rarely scores goals. This season: 4 goals in 14 games isn't it? 2 penalties? Not my idea of a goal scorer.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Don't mess up a working partnership... pleased for Fraser but for now Hammond and O'Callaghan are ahead when fit.

 

[Les Biehn]

Hammond scores goals,Fraser doesn't so there's your answer

Clueless.

 

[Les Biehn]

Is Fraser a match winner NO
Is Fraser good at killer balls NO
Does Fraser score NO
Is he ginger YES

Is Fraser a match winner WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
Is Fraser good at killer balls CERTAINLY IS CAPABLE OF THEM WHEN IN THE MIDDLE
Does Fraser score YES
Is he ginger MORE AUBURN

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Wheres the option for Loft

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Wheres the option for Loft

And Reid who is also a central midfielder by trade...
