how did the new goalkeeper look

shocking going by today,made a couple of saves,but his kicking played our full backs into trouble countless times

 

[empire]

very poor first half,crawley much better and more up for it,
2nd half mostly brighton,goal disalowed (cant see why),anton rodgers best player for us 2nd half

This trialist Evans for Crawley, is it worth us nipping in and having a look ourselves ?

 

[empire]

he did ok,where is he from?,thought wickham and neilson were their best players,

Don't know but will wait until the write up is on the official Crawley site to find out.

Not convinced Gonzalez is even near good enough on todays performance.. His kicking was terrible.

 

[severnside gull]

good for that side to have to show the character to come from behind - does no harm at all IMO

thought berkamp had a solid game holding ball up well and set up first goal not to sure on the goalkeeper though

Goalkeeper just looked a little match shy, he needs to develop his distribution to fit into the way we play. Made an error kicking to a Crawley player and got away with it, had a big throwout reaching the halfway line, had little to do second half but came out and made two punchs from corners. Difficult to play a direct Crawley side first half with Jamie Strong playing at centre half with Hall for what I have seen may be a first time pairing.

I was really impressed with Bergkamp in the second half, good first touch and used his upper body well to trap the ball and kept possestion well. Barkers goal was great skill and I look forward to seeing that again on seagulls player.

Team played really well second half keeping the ball and just upping the tempo.

Was impressed with Bergkamp.

From todays argus, looks like Gonzalez is up for it after playing at Lancing

The Colombian goalkeeper made his debut for the reserves yesterday, then declared himself happy with the Seagulls’ passing style and South American managerial partnership.

"I think it suits me," he said. "I always try to mould to what ever system the manager wants.

"Some managers just want the ball to be smashed and obviously you have to go with it but I'm really happy to do it this way, with a team that wants to play.

"It was like a breath of fresh air when I first got here to be able to speak again with a manager in your own language, sharing a little bit of the same customs. It makes it a little bit more homely."
