“New manager” picked “player” for a very tough first home match of the season. When there were plenty of other midfield options in the squad like Baleba, Ayari or Hinsh. If he doesn’t fancy “player”, what the hell does he think of those other guys?
Sorry this is not clear at all “to get”. The more plausible explanation is Gilmour moved heaven and earth to make it happen and we let it happen when we probably should have delayed it a few months to January to see if our other options are shaping up
Full disclosure, Billy lives, or sadly lived, in my road in Worthing, earlier this week I met his parents out in the street, at that point, ie Tuesday morning, he had never indicated he wanted to leave the club, the complete opposite, with a potential World Cup with Scotland in two years time, two exciting seasons in the EPL with the Albion was top of the agenda.
Unfortunately it appears he’s surplus to requirements, but frankly the transfer fee is way under what it should have been when you look at what players of similar age and ability go for.
Yes, he did. Because he was told that he wasn't an automatic first pick.“New manager” picked “player” for a very tough first home match of the season.

The thing is, once Hürzeler has evolved the team to the formations and tactics he used at St Pauli,
I think you don’t understand the positional versitility of the players we have been signing nor how they would play under Hürzler.
Ignoring all the bullshit and getting to this point, why did he start last Saturday (despite no pre-season) ahead of Ayari and Baleba if the manager didnt like him?
I'm certainly not claiming the manager didn't like him.
So now he’s gone from not fancied to not automatic first pick. I don’t blame you for this slippage of language because it’s really hard to square with the evidence of all our lying eyes of everything that happened at the Manchester United game from selection to performance.
Fingers crossed. If he can stay tactically switched on for 90 minutes, then we can start to see his progression really speed up.
I’d call it a midfield block rather than a ‘low one’ and yes, a point I have made on other threads but thanks for summing it up so well in response to the suggestion that any idea that Gruda and Rutter can play in more than one position on the field is a figment of my imagination
I'm a Manchester United (and Scotland) fan so I'm delighted that he's left for such an illustrious club. Particularly if he was going to be a bench warmer under the new manager.
I know that I don't post here all that often, but you've all been nice to me and welcomed me. So for that I say thank you.
Not many forums are sp welcoming of fans of other clubs joining. The Brentford forum gave me a "Deliverance" vibe. I could even hear the slight noise of a banjo if I listened closely. Even the Admin told me via PM "we don't like strangers". No word of a lie.
Brighton are a great club and the fans (here, at least) seem to be friendly and sane.
I hope Brighton finish in the top 6.
