Poyet needs a striker - By Andy Naylor

[Biscuit]

Whats wrong with a 4-4-2 formation?

We'd still be in league one for a start.

 

[sir albion]

So you don't rate a player you didn't see play ONCE at Withdean?? Your opinion has no weight when you consider that FACT

Seen murray many times and that's lower league football not the championship.My opinion has plenty of weight mr perfect fan,bet you like me went to gillingham for every home game YEAH?

New striker Mackail-Smith Buckley/LuaLua

Vicente playing in a free role in Attacking Midfield.

And you can say that for certain? although we played a different formation there is nothing to suggest that a 4-4-2 wouldnt have brought about the same result. We had a good side in League 1 who were more than capable of playing pretty much any formation.

Loads of decent sides play 4-4-2, cant really understand why its frowned upon.

 

[sir albion]

Nearly all in this league play 4-4-2,gus won't as he loves passing around the back a lot and wants everyone back defending,hence why we don't score many.

Aren't you conveniently forgetting the sign on fee used as a bribe by Palace?

*deliberately ignoring.

The issue is, its because it was £2k a week, which is peanuts in the grand scheme of things. £2k a week, that if Poyet really wanted to keep him, he could and would have paid without issue. We had a large squad, and I bet not one of them, even the younguns are on less than 2k a week. It was peanuts to pay to keep your main striker.

You dismiss £2k a week like it's irrelevant. It might have been the difference between £9k and £11k, for example, and it might have been the difference between being able to sign one of the other targets, or not having the budget to. Who knows. But it's certainly not as simple as you like to think.

People we know in West Stand by dugout said a few times during the match after we had missed a chance Gus looked up to Directors Box and shrugged! I can see this ending in tears

Id love to see us play 4-5-1 with 2 proper wingers. We certainly have the personell when all fit.

What we need at home is two bloody wingers and two strikers playing.

You're either on a wind up or a twat. Go away. I answered that, just you deliberately ignore it, just to get another quote in. Sums you up.

And if you think £2k is relevant when it comes to re-signing your main striker, then you are also on a wind up or deliberately taking shit. I'll say it for the last time. If we wanted Murray to stay, Murray would still be here. We allowed him to walk away.

So Gus would effectively be saying "Look Tony, the strikers I bought are shit, can I have more money to buy some more please"?

We'll have none of that hocus pocus talk on here thank you very much.

As any one in management knows the longer you take to rectify your mistakes, the more disastrous the consequences

I'm only reporting what they told us after the match - personally I think it will all come good - I love Gus but he is prone to that latin hot blood!

 

[vulture]

what we need is all 25 thousand fans to run on the pitch and have a massive shit
