When Whing is fit again.....

[Chesney Christ]

Please please please please can we either drop Adam Virgo altogether or put him at centre half instead of Hinshelwood?

Virgo was utterly dreadful last night (in fact he is dreadful everywhere but CB), but I fear that Micky Adams will continue to shoe-horn him into unsuitable positions, and that this, ultimately, could be what relegates us this season.

I really wish we hadn't re-signed Virgo. It has totally ruined our season, but for this I think MA is far more to blame than Virgs himself.

Do people believe that Virgo signed a contract stating that he had to play every game? I can think of no other sensible reason for him playing all over the place in the way he has. Not, of course, that even this would justify the position swapping; he should be playing CB every week if it's true.

Let us not forget that Whing's form has been nothing short of absolute shite this season.

drop Adam Virgo altogether

Ha ha ha, like that is going to happen, even if Whing is fit I'm sure a position will be found for Virgo, I hear Sullivan had a bit of a mare last night and Virgo hasn't had a crack in goal yet has he?...

Yes.

He's still a better right back than Virgo by a COUNTRY MILE.

El Abd is a better right back than Virgo as well!

 

[Chesney Christ]

El Abd is a better right back than Virgo as well!

Exactly. I was actually quite relieved when El-Abd was moved to right back at the end last night. If that doesn't show how bad Virgo is there I dunno what would....

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Virgo so far has been a complete waste of wages. Quite substantial wages.

A decent enough centre half, if a little cumbersom.

NOT a right back.
NOT a centre midfielder.
NOT a right midfielder.
NOT a centre forward

It can't be doing his form any good having to play an average of two positions every game.

When Whing is fit again.... DROP VIRGO, he is shit

 

[murraymints4brighton]

the thing is adams is in a way making him look shit but who else seeing as whing was injured yesterday would people rather have see play there? he should be used as cover but he is a very good, a championship standard centre back and the soon adams realises this the better.

It's obvious that Micky pretty much guaranteed he'd be playing if fit.
I very much doubt though that it's in his contract.

Why should Hinsh be dropped?

 

[BensGrandad]

Why should Hinsh be dropped?

Because he is showing signs of wear and has been responsibe for a number of goals in recent weeks. He is not good enough in the air to be a central defender so should be replaced by Virgo and perhaps tried in the reserves at right back as he is better on the ground than most pof our defenders. In fact if my memory serves me well he was playing at right back when he suffered the original injury which caused him to be out for so long.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Hinshelwood is a better centre half than Virgo.

 

[Arrid]

Why should Hinsh be dropped?

Because he gifts the oppo a goal most games, is slow, very average positionally and can't pass very well!

I really do think you watch a different game to the rest of us. Hinsh was really good on Tuesday night. Admitedly he (along with Elphick) was caught out by a very well placed through ball for the 4th goal but other that that he was superb against 2 very well rated strikers.

Don't get me wrong, it is obvious to everyone in the ground that Virgs best position is CB but I don't think he's better than Hinsh or Elphick so he should be benched. Won't happen though

What about the 1st goal ??

Well as ever your memory does not serve you correctly. When he was injured against Reading he was playing centre back, as he had been since we sold Cullip that season.

He is our best defender and should be the first pick at centre back. Elphick was poor on Tuesday, but then it is an unwritten NSC law, that Elphick must not be criticised.

He is surprisingly fast considering both knees have been rebuilt.

One own goal, but before Tuesday, since he came back in, generally we have conceeded less goals than when Elphick and the Donkey Derby were playing in defence together.

He has played a number of games at full back and a few in the Adam El Abd midfield role but I, due to his poor heading ability, do not think that he is good enough as a central defender as I think that we have better at the club and so I would try him at right back in the reserves for a couple of games. It is rubbish to say that he is not quick enough as he is just as quick as any other defenders that we have.

I remember him playing full back around about the time of his injury or just before but wasnt sure in which position he was actually playing when he got injured.

It is debatable as to who was the worst on Tuesday Elphick or Hinshlewood, as both were poor and it wouldn't suprise me if MA didnt play Virgo and Hawkins on Saturday
