I actually think Igor has a good footballing IQ and knocks the ball around reasonably well. He is no Premier League defender though and let’s face it, that is his job. Another that should be moved on for me.
I’m afraid that Tariq just isn’t up to our level anymore. His pace has gone and he was never the most gifted footballer.
I feel genuinely sorry for the lad after all the injuries he’s had but it’s time to move him on imho.
A wins a win as they say but I’m not sure too many of the fringe players enhanced their reputation that much this evening.
Couple this with Matt’s injury and I’m weirdly feeling a little deflated tonight.
I think a few of those guys may find themselves dropping down the leagues in the not too...
Gutted about this… Seems a really decent lad.
Quite how that lump got away with kicking the hell out of half of the team is beyond me. That smirk after the tackle really gets my goat too. Horrible player, horrible club.
Im a big fan of Carlos and hope that he is given a fair crack of the whip to cement his place in the team.
I know Weiffer was a big money signing but so was Carlos last season… For me, Carlos is the more impressive atm.
I was really impressed with our win yesterday… We beat a very good side. Ok, they are not the United of old but they still have world class players in their ranks that are capable of hurting you at any given time.
Ive read Minteh getting some flack but imho he was playing against one of the best...
I can’t say I’m loving this line up. We have to trust the new boss knows what he is doing though so fingers cross.
On a personal note, I’d love to know why Baleba is being continuously overlooked.
Enciso may have shot himself in the foot buggering off to the olympics are just finishing another international tournament.
He‘s a talented boy though and so if his attitude is right I would expect him to push to start. This might go the other way though.
Had visions of this call earlier in the week.
Erik - Hey Jose, do your old club a favour and stall Ferdi joining Brighton until after Saturday would you…
Jose - No problem my friend… I am special… I can do this 😁
Erik - Thanks Jose
I don’t think we will be top 4 btw but equally, if the potential we think we have bought starts to show itself, then I don’t see why we can’t have a real go at securing a European spot again.
Should we manage to get the deals over the line for Ferdi, O'Riley and a centre half then just how close are we to having a top 4 squad?
I look at our options across the pitch and there are a few players that i just wouldnt swap for anyone else. Others i think are up there with the best of them...
