Wycombe Wanderers Vs Brighton and Hove Albion - Official Match Thread - 07/11/2009

So if we dont count the two that went in at Huddersfield before Kuipers departed he has conceeded 15 goals in 4 games, thats 3.75 goals a game and we have not finished yet. Surely this is some kind of record??

Yes it is a record - one that is conspicuously worse than Kuipers' record. No point in blaming the defence either - it's the same defence that Kuipers has to play behind. With the possible exception of Alan Rough, I can't think of any good Scottish keepers since the days of Bill Brown and Tommy Lawrence - so why the hell did we go and buy one, and get rid of Sully at the same time?

I am not syaing they are his fault but how many goals has smith conceeded per game this season??

Assuming we concede no more goals today, he has played 4.5 games and conceded 17, which is a goal/game rate of 3.78.

(Kuipers this season is: played 13.5 conceded 18 = 1.33)

At least any management candidate watching will get a true picture of what needs doing.
Run like f***.

Graeme Smith is now the successor to Simon Royce , the holder of the worst goalie to play for the Albion accolade.

Let's be fair, he is playing behind one of the worst Albion defences I can remember.

Oh great! That'll really improve our chances!

 

[Higham Seagull Army]

Has the match stopped?

No it's called deja-vu.

 

[johnnyrocketpants]

With FDM in goal, 3-1 to us.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

And to think Slade got rid of Sullivan on a free.

 

[Husty]

i think smiths a good keeper i really do but the stats dont lie and he has conceded an aweful lot of goals

 

[fleet]

Shot just over the crossbar and "Smith would have been beaten again then" - shock horror

Let's be fair - it's the dame defence that Kuipers plays behind, and doesn't concede half as many goals. Back to Scotland in January please.

Perhaps those that don't want john gregory here should be pleased he is the only candidate reported to be watching. He gets scared off, the others read the results and think "ooh, back and forth match, strong going forward, can do a job wit that".

 

[Gritt23]

just got in, whats the score?

Oh, you've missed nothing.
