sure, even with those, he hasn't started two consecutive games,.
He has completed 90 minutes once (liverpool EFL Cup)
Played a total of 390 minutes in 15 appearances and still scored as many goals from open play as Pedro, or Giorginio, when playing as a 9.
Both of whom have started consecutive games and been allowed to develop some form.
If you feel that Fab has genuinely given Ferguson a chance, then please elaborate.

Can’t believe the lickers are spinning this as a positive it’s a f***ing disgrace . Honestly I think if we were 20th with no points this season and sold all the team that some on here would still be happy clappers . If welbeck gets injured we are f***ed
The last thing we need now is a dead man walking!

More of an answer than Webster up front
Does the manager have a problem with sir names starting F and E .?

Quite, if we are going to appoint a zero experience rookie, Gross would be my choice
I think I’d loan my season ticket out if we got Lallana and Milner
Not with E, but I did hear Hurzeler also struggles with his THs. You can’t say fairer than that then can you Fabio?

His treatment of Fergie is not good. Fergie deserved the run of games when Welbeck was injured, instead he left him on the bench and persisted with Pedro as a 9 which didn't work... just give Fergie a chance FFS. Not ship him off somewhere else.

There are two problems relating to Ferguson and his role at Brighton.
Both DiZerbi and FH play a style of football that does not utilise what could be classed as a 'traditional' number 9 - FH has taken this to an even greater extreme than RDZ. The problem is that, while both started out well (last season and this season) - opposition coaches quickly figured out how to nutralise the impact of what they were doing. RDZ started by winning 5 out of the first 6 and then only won another 7 for the rest of the season, including only one win in the last 10 games. Fh started with 6 wins in the first 12 games but only 2 wins in the next 12 games. Brighton's currently form is bottom five. So a major element of the problem at the moment is the strategy bring employed by FH and his apparent inability to adapt when the opposition have figured out what to do (the Forest game was an extreme example of this - nearly 63% but fewer shots and way fewer shorts on target).
Ferguson is an exceptional talent and has enormous potential to be one of the best PL strikers - he is not a complete striker (he may become one - he is still only 20) - but he is big, strong, hard to push off the ball, has pace and can pick out the right shot. He thrives on through balls that he can run onto, take a touch and strike the ball. FH's style of play does not utilise through balls, preferring to try and play through the defence. For me the sign of a good coach is the ability to adapt and get the best out of the players that are available, rather than trying to force a square peg into a round hole.
I think it is noteworthy that Ferguson is going to West Ham on a straight loan deal, rather than a loan with an option to buy. This suggests to me that TB is not fully convinced that FH is up to the job, but is willing to give him the rest of the season to see if he can figure things out. Keeping Ferguson gives an incoming manager more options if FH is replaced in the summer.
Ferguson will be a top talent in the PL - whether it is at Brighton or not has yet to be determined. But you better be sure of your manager (who are turning over at a fair rate) before you cut ties with a potential £100m striker (by the way - Bohs fans were already talking about what the £6m Bohemian FC were going to get was going to be used for - if Ferguson was sold to West Ham - they may have to wait a bit longer but probably will have more money as a result).

He's been shit every time he has played. f*** giving him a chance. Every time we doo, he just lumbers around and ruins promising chances. Send him on loan.
Good news.
Hopefully he’ll get some regular game time under a good manager and remember how to be a footballer.

I think he’s given Evan as much of a chance as one could expect considering Welbeck’s form and until early December his availability and Pedro and Georginio’s all round game.

Scandalous. You ship out your young talent when your first choice are flying and you can’t promise game time.
We’re a shitshow and need all the firepower we have.
Best run club in the world my arse.

I've always thought that of all our recent players, Lallana is the most likely to go into management and have some success. He seems smart, and a good leader.
But he should definitely start a bit lower down the pyramid. Plus being on Southampton's books would make this a non-starter anyway.

Whatever he has had for a long time, whether it be illness, injury, flatulence or the disdain of successive managers, he has had it for a long time.

The problem with Pedro is he looks totally disinterested at the moment and is more intent on getting himself sent off. All the talk of Liverpool and Arsenal watching him earlier in the season have completely turned his head making him think of bigger things

He’s lacking confidence that’s all the fact he’s getting into the right positions is a positive. Leicester away it was clearly a confidence issue.
That can all be resolved by a decent manager showing faith in the lad.
Just a shame our manager isn’t up to the task.
