I for one find it sad that certain Brighton fans would rather see a talentless lump up front and have us lob the ball up to him in the air then have us play attractive football that would play to Knight's strengths.

I agree with you that for Knight to suceed we need to play to his strengths, but then if we are going to select such a workman like midfield it is going to be an issue to play the balls he needs.

No your not.

I thought he had an ok debut, but since then I think he's got progressively worse. :nono:

I would love to see us play with Knight and Robinson up front and start threading the passes they would thrive on.

Im sure they would score bucketloads.

That said I am not sure our midfield is capable, as Uncle Buck said, of knocking these passes.

It would also be dangerous to change the midfield about too much because it is the workmanlike ethic that is getting us results.

I would like to see Nicolas back in as I think he has the ability to play to Knight's strengths and perhaps Hammond as well could get more action off the bench as he seems to have a devent amount of vision.

Fortunately only one person's opinion really counts and that is McGhee's.

He is getting it right with his selections whether LI, Richie, kinkygerbil or Uncle Buck like it or not.

Fortunately?

Does not make sense because myself and uncle buck have completely different ideas to London Irish who thinks McGhee is right to pick him.

It cant be fortunate that we are both wrong if one agrees with McGhee.

McGhee is getting good results and I love him for it. This does not mean that we wouldnt get better results and be playing better football without McCammon in the side though...as showed at Spurs.
 




Yeah, I'll settle for McGhee's opinion too. How about you other guys :smokin:

I would like to see the albion playing attacking, free flowing football.

Does not mean I am not happy with the job McGhee is doing, I am.

But, who would not want the team they love to strive toward playing beautiful attacking football?

Seeing how McGhee is excellent at turning 'ugly ducklings' into swans in a footballing sense, then maybe we ought to reserve judgement on McCammon at the moment.

Didnt think much of him when he played, in fact he was just like iweluno, not much use anywhere

Do you keep telling your wife that you'd love it if she kept striving towards becoming an international supermodel?

Romance is all well and good, but pragmatism is what has served us well and will keep us in the Championship.

Mcghee is now entering Genius status so if he thinks he`s of benefit i won`t argue, however I would be a bit concerned with buying him for a long time as he doesn`t look like Mr Classy consistent and we did play to feet on Saturday which was great to watch, although that`s not to say McCammon is that bad with his feet, in a poor man`s Paolo Wanchope way, it`s just the tendency for us to hoof and hope when he`s on the field that`s the worry.
