Second red card for Virgo. Is he useless?

[Vankleek Hill Seagull]

Virgo gets a second red card of the season for what appears to be a clumsy challenge which he didn't need to do which means he misses the next four games (Charlton, Exeter, Colchester and Swindon).

So is Virgo clumsy, stupid or rubbish? Does he have a defenders mentality? e.g. does he have a defenders skill and mentality and he was just unlucky, or is he just rubbish and not able to become a top defender at this level?

Predictable to be honest. I said to my mate earlier today, Virgs is going to get sent off. I wish id gone to the bookies.

 

[Northstander]

Ive not seen it, but commentary felt the Leeds players had a lot to do with the refs. decision, no doubt I will be proved wrong

 

[The Wizard]

No, he isn't

 

[RM-Taylor]

3rd or 4th red card this season

How have you worked that out?

His defending has been amateurish at times this season.
I wouldn't say he is useless, I'm sure there is something he must be good at?

 

[El Turi]

He has been sent off 6 times in his Brighton career. Is that a record?

I guess amateurish could be used to describe his defending, but Poyet and Tarricio see something in Virgo that is worth keeping him in the heart of the defence with Elphick. What it is, I have no clue.

However, is he hot-headed? Does he really know what he is doing? Does he need an experienced defender (e.g. like Tank) to play with him to nuture the best out of him or would it be a lost cause?

I reckon OGH has had a few more?

 

[Mackenzie]

Wasn't he motm until he was sent off? The red sounded a harsh decision as well, I hope the club appeal it.

He also has been sent off 6 times.

I think Virgo needs to be replaced by an experienced player rather than play next to one.
Virgo is an experienced player, I think he dives in because he knows once a player gets past him he's in trouble due to his lack of pace.
I was unable to speak after his howler against Millwall.

what is a experienced player then? Virgo has played championship and SPL football (including the Glasgow derby)

 

[Trigger]

Liability, get rid.

 

[ashlehh]

personally I think the ref made a harsh decision! It hasn't been the first time we have played Leeds and they have got a sneaky draw.

 

[The Wizard]

Liability, get rid.

Same old same old from you, boring.

It was Elphick who got sent off when Hawk did as well.
