It's obvious when our players are playing well. There's no debate - everyone agrees. Kuzczsak is great, Bruno is good...err...
But you see my point. There's no discussion. However, if you have an issue with someone being selected (e.g. Dunk - prior to yesterday's debacle) and discuss it, people can debate their opinion. That's the difference.
I am not stupid. I can see we've got a lot of good players at the club and we've come a long way since the days of being dicked on at Withdean. But there's no discussion there, there's no conversation starter, hence I don't start a thread on it.
20 goals at this level in 3 years. Murray has almost scored that amount in 3 months.
Probably because last season we naively thought Gus would eventually sign a proper target man to replace him, rather than telling us all summer it was his priority signing, only to go and fork out for a very average midget instead at the last minute.
Glen Murray, League 1 striker who just won the league and promotion to the Championship was reportedly asking for £14k per week (if reports on here are to be believed.)
How about
Should Dunk retain his place following El-Abds recovery from injury? (before the palace game obviously as it looked like he was going to be fit again and available) ie, should El-Abd have walked back into the team or did Dunk do enough to keep his spot.
Which Target player do you think should we be trying to sign?
Will we be top / stay top / where will we finish the season?
Topics about other clubs being interested in our players as potential signings (CMS to Norwich being one) / hanging onto our players in the transfer window
Most undervalued player in our team? youngsters, will they break through or should they go out on loan to develop?
Plenty of potential topics, and none of those discuss specific matches / incidents etc... which give plenty more subjects and all were worthy of discussion earlier in the season, and none are negative so clearly there are plenty of things that are worth of debate without having to be negative all the time.
But then your not interested in us doing well (as the line above your avatar shows) otherwise you would have posted and joined in discussions when we were doing well.
I find it hard to accept that we let Murray go just for financial reasons alone. Maybe a judgement call was made on his perceived ability to adapt to the Championship versus him asking for a specific length contract. It's one of these things that we will never know.
I'm sure if Gus really wanted to retain Murray then funds could have been found.
Everyone knows now that the decision with Murray was a poor one. Exaggerated by our strikers poor form.
Gus, please find us an decent replacement so we can put it all behind us and move on.
Sorry, but I feel that is absolute bollocks.
That article states that he got a 75% pay rise by joining Palace. If that figure is true, then there is no way that he ended up getting anywhere near 14k a week.
Most people felt the season we walked league 1, he was on between 3-4k. A 75% increase on that would take him to a maximum of 7k a week. There is no way we were paying £8k (75% increase would equal 14k) a week for a striker in league 1 whilst playing at Withdean, i'd put my house on that.
I think that the success or otherwise of our season will depend on that elusive striker being found in January. But can we trust Gus to get the right man in? Let's hope so.

The reason we let Murray go, in pure and simple terms, is down to a personality clash with Gus. He can put out as many comments as he wants about us being unable to afford his demands (unable to afford is very different to unprepared to pay), but the economics of it just don't stack up.
A player that used to be at Brighton once told me that there was only room for one ego at the club.

try to be a bit more positive zeb..its not all doom and gloom...somethings are how one chooses to look at things...easy to join a bandwagon of doom and gloom after a crappy defeat
'Most people felt' or in other words nobody knows and it is a complete guess.
1) I posted that Greer and El-abd were better than Dunk on one of the many dull Greer bashing threads on here last weekend, wasn't any point in starting a new thread on the same topic that was already active.
2) Don't really care what anyone thinks about players from other clubs that they know nothing about other than a few clips from the Football League Show, more concerned about what people think about the players we regularly watch. Plus, NSC has a track record of picking unrealistic targets, several people already asking for us to sign Charlie Austin!!
3) What's there to discuss? Will CMS go to Norwich? Nobody has a clue, so the best reply you can get from a thread like that is 200 people saying 'maybe'.
4) Most undervalued player in our team. Valued by who? Don't really care about this sort of thread as all it would do is highlight people who have a favourite player that isn't Buckley, Bridcutt or TK.
So I'm not interested in dull, positive threads - it Doesn't mean I'm not interested in having a football team that's performing in a positive manner.
He says he couldn't afford Glenn Murray at a time when he could afford £1m Buckley (good signing), £2.5m CMS (and rising, woefully overpriced), 500k Hoskins (crap signing) and Vicente's wages (great player, joke signing).
Do you believe Gus? Or is he a filthy liar.
Bare in mind he's already lied this week, saying we'd had a good week and almost have a fully fit squad" despite losing Bridge, El-abd AND Painter. This is of course understandable, lieing in a (failed) attempt to deceit the opposition. But if he can lie to opponents, why can't he lie to his supporters in a pathetic attempt to defend the most catastrophic cock up imaginable?
Trust in Gus? Bollocks to that.
