Yeah like I've mentioned in the thread about Evan, we're using our striker a lot different now than before. Rather than waiting for the team to move up and then find the best space in the penalty box to make the most of our possession, our striker is now supposed to start off from central midfield area and get the ball when running towards their goal. Something he as a big lad probably haven't done too much in his youth football days.Interesting comment:
Not sure if it's just translation / reporting - but sounds a little as though he feels Ferguson has to adapt?
- On striker Evan Ferguson, who has not started for Brighton since March: "He doesn't have to show me what he can do because I know what his potential is. He has the full package for a striker. It is important he integrates in our style of play and follows our principles."
This would never have worked with undav !!Yeah like I've mentioned in the thread about Evan, we're using our striker a lot different now than before.

I think Fergie could pick it up. Haaland wasn't making a lot of deep runs before joining Dortmund but he added it to his game, don't see why Fergie couldn't do the same thing.This would never have worked with undav !!
I'm not sure if this is fergies game either tbh.
Agreed. He'll also have to press out of possession. As well as adapting his game as you say, I took FH's comment to mean there is still some need to improve his overall fitness. Not surprising given length of layoff.I think Fergie could pick it up.

Dawson, Mosquera and Ait-Nouri, 3 of the back 4 who started against Newcastle, are all now injured.I read they only have one fit first team centre back
He had no problem with closing down defenders before his injury. He looks 95% fit and in the EPL you can't get away with that. Hardly surprising and in reality he's still in pre-season fitness and form. Needs games.Agreed. He'll also have to press out of possession.

Fatality between Brighton & Lewes according to the stewards sadly. Get the bus if you can.Any one planning on taking the train tonight, allow lots of time there are severe delays on the line.
And three pointsVery quiet here at the Hawthornes - record low attendance? Never mind, at least I made the effort to be at the ground ready to cheer the lads on!
1-4 to the Albion - Rutter hat-trick, Georginio with a header and a Dunky free-kick.
They won’t be boing-boinging for long!
