It would not be the same without some kind of row on NSC, i half expect it now. Bloody well done is what was needed
So basically, a player of ours gets into the top 10 players of the season... And some NSC complain. Completely in tune with the day to day lunacy we see on here.
Well done Glenn, Elliott and Adam. Fully, fully deserved.
This is a discussion forum!! A couple of us have suggested we think Greer has been as important to our season as El Abd (and therefore should also (not instead of) be in the Top 10) and there is a discussion flowing from it.
Apols if it deflects a little from the praise they all richly deserve.
Sorry. Its early and I'm a little delicate this morning. *Breathe* I agree. Greer has been excellent this season and an absolute bargain at £250k (or whatever we actually paid). As a partnership, I find it difficult to think of a better ball-playing back two in Brighton colours (certainly since 1988 when I was got old enough to understand football!)
Very much agreed on the partnership.
Come 2.55 this afternoon, and hopefully yet another clean sheet, the legend of our centre back pairing will have grown even further!!
Can you believe that if we win (big if) that would be a MASSIVE 15 POINTS up on the best team in League One?
Really, Adam is clearly our player of the season.
"a cool-headed defender who sets Brighton's passing tone" - spot on. Not only sums up the player but sums up why we are sitting pretty ten points clear at the top of the league.
Looking beyond the fact that he has transformed himself in a manner I struggle to remember with any other player at the club (since I've been watching since the 70s), he is now genuinely a very very good player. Forget how he played in the past, think of him as a new signing - he's superb.
Bennett and Murray are obviously up there, but they've had their periods of inconsistency. El Abd hasn't and it's no surprise he is the first player on the Poyet's team sheet. Why ? he does EXACTLY what he is asked to do without question and does it well. Poyet's golden boy and thoroughly deserved ( unless you know better than Gus.....)
His control is quite brilliant for a defender at this level. Far better on the ball than Elphick and if anyone had suggested that last season they would have been laughed out of town.
A defender built like a brick shit house and comfortable on the ball. He's f**cking gold dust.
Imagine what Poyet could have moulded Oatway or Fraser into ? That's the mark of the man. Not how we are playing, just who he managed to get to play like that. He's a genius.
Top ten best players, someone should point out that each team has eleven players, so next year may be the best 11 players should be named.

You mean all 'top player' selections always have to be of 11 names?
What about subs?
It was a vote, by fans and the players with the most number of votes went forward. The Football League do a 'team of the week' every week with the best players in their correct positons. I've no doubt there will be a 'team of the season' when the season has finished. Check the Football League website.I just seems more logical to me that 11 should be named. It would be interesting to have a competition featuring the best team, made up from the best chosen 11 players, from each division
