He was and never will be the answer. We'd be better off playing a 36 year old with a dodgy knee.
he played well did he? he's a good little player is tommy, we've missed him this season.

No we haven't. All three of our CMs are comfortably better than him. Both him and Davies have found their level.

Mmmmm? Marvellous
He has found his level then.

Yes, saw him at ML too and he played well then, what he lacks in skill he makes up for in effort and determination. Anyhow i haven't seen albion play this season so couldn't compare him with our current midfield. But i hope TF proves albion wrong
might be worth checking the stats from last season, our results improved hugely when fraser started played central midfield. he's no worse than crofts. and he's better than navarro. dicker and fraser played well alongside each other last season.
let me help you there. dicker is a class act. crofts is a bit like fraser but with more goals. navarro has improved but still doesn't impress

Plus he's homegrown, i always think that counts for something
me too. don't understand why some fans give the homegrowns less backing and patience than players signed from elsewhere. should be the other way round. i hoped fraser would be our captain one day. same goes with cox, this is somebody from sussex who the club developed and supported. but for some reason these things seem to be counted against him rather than for him

Fraser flattered as he ran around alot. Wasn't a good enough footballer to ever move us forward towards the championship IMO. Slade recognised this and despite him playing 29 games league games for us (where all of about 8 games we were shite) got rid.

Craig Davies is better than Liam Dickinson FACT.
this is my point exactly. you seem to think that players brought in from outside are automatically better than those developed from within. crofts came from that renowned hotbed of football talent gillingham. he is an okay league 1 defensive central midfield player. no more. fraser is an okay central league 1 midfield player who proved his worth back end of last season when given a run of games alongside dicker. why do you mark down our homegrown players yet mark up people signed on free transfers from gillingham of all places? not a pop at crofts by the way, i like crofts and he looks okay alongside dicker.

As a mark of quality it lacks something.

Dickinson scored 21 goals in that league and is shit in League 1.

He's wank.

I couldn't care less where anyone comes from, all I care about is what they are worth to the side. Fraser wasn't good enough to improve us as a team after we stayed up as we were looking to move forward. I think the same about most of the players we lost last season. I don't see the point in being sentimental just because players come from Brighton.
I've not singled out Crofts, Navarro or Dicker as better just because they come from elsewhere.
but we haven't really moved forward have we. fraser proved his worth to the side, he helped keep us up.
