Would YOU have started Leon Best against Bournemouth?

[Bucky]

I would of started him then hauled him off early for his taxi back to Crapsville.

 

[Gazwag]

I have been a heavy critic of him but I felt he had his best game for us tonight. Obviously the bar isn't very high.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

When there's no support within 15 yards it doesn't matter whose up front. The formation, the players strengths, it's all a bit of a mess tbh

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

I wouldn't start him up front in a pre-season friendly against Burgess Hill. Utter toilet!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It doesn't matter what I would have done. Worryingly, our manager did, and will do so again.

 

[Quinney]

No. Couple of nice touches, but very little threat. Actually make that no threat. We've no one up front who looks like they can score.

This is the thing, I don't think Best is a particularly good striker at this level, but he was completely isolated again today. We are playing with such a rigid defensive formation and the subs being made are either the wrong ones or are too late.

On the way things have been for the last 5 or 6 games, we may as well have kept Sami as manager..

That for me is the most worrying thing-Hughton is looking as clueless as Hyypia.

 

[StanmoreSeagull]

Hell no!

 

[Official Old Man]

Could it be that CH was saving his 'best' team for the must win Tuesday night?

8 foot to be exact. And we never get the ball under it.

 

[OzMike]

It's like rubbing salt into a wound, COG should have started, we all have an off day now and again.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Ch has given all the forwards a run of games to make an impression - none have. He's clasping at straws hoping that one of them finds some form or has a good day! Best was no better or worse than COG or CMS have been.

We are going to need two quality forwards in the summer with Baldock and COG as understudies. That along with two new wide players a left back, right back and cb.It could be a good summer but equally a very depressing one!

 

[16bha]

How much are we being paid by his parent club to give him 90 minutes? I hope it's worth it!

 

[Ceej]

Yes, given the lack of alternatives. But brought COG on after 60 minutes.
