Havant and Waterlooville vs Brighton and Hove Albion - Official Match Thread

Lewis Ide looked very good, had superb pace.

Agreed. Needs to work on his crosses though, innit.

Was RS not there? Didn't see him near the dug-out? Seems odd he wasn't there to run the rule over the team!?

He was in the camera gantry, watching from on high.

It seems we've got defenders, wingers and forwards galore, but are a bit light in central midfield. Not a lot was going through that area tonight and I think we might get found out against teams with two midfield general types...

PS I don't think El-Abd is a solution...

Is there anybody in the 2nd half apart from Dicker(Crofts) that you would swap for a first team place?

There was a H&W fan behind us in the main stand who genuinely though OGH was Michael Rickets and Michael Rickets was OGH! After that comment we were all giggle like children, irony was that OGH played for H&W last season.

I didn't go tonight but cannot see how you can say Kuipers should still be number one when you have seen Smith for 45 minutes and he had little to do.

Possibly something to do with Kuipers having this lined up infront of him?

Cook, Hawkins, Tunnicliffe, McLeod

Whereas Smith had:

Whing, Virgo (capt), Elphick, Lynch

Distinct difference there wouldnt you say?

How did McLeod get on at left back?

Sadly in the 2nd half the wingers weren't really doing the job though, no width at all IMO, and this has been an area of concern for so long now, it is getting depressing. Best cross of the 2nd half was from Rickets, and that is saying something. Oh, and sadly, Cox still can't cross, would prefer it if he just did what he is good at, run at people, take a shot once in a while, get on the end of things, and make good passes, just forget crossing.

mmm, not sure it is his bag really, would rather not see him there in future.
