I miss Oscar, not a complaint as such though because I don't know what went on behind the scenes.
My only complaint is the 90 minutes week in week out where I don't feel the manager is getting the best from the players.
Didn't Oscar say he liked Barnes and wanted to keep him. Sure I read something from Barnes that he got on with Oscar and it was a decision made upstairs (might have imagined that though).
As far as the retained list I'm sure Oscar had done the donkey work, but he also wanted to keep Orlandi...
Nice bloke, but not a top end championship striker (not that we are top end this season).
If someone wants him come January then let them have him, would save on wages
Are the players that have been brought in since last season really that bad (all data from Wikipedia)?
Stockdale - 21 appearances last season in the premier league for Fulham and previously 24 for Hull in the season they went up from the Championship
Hughes - 11 appearances last season for QPR...
Don't think I said anything along those lines. I will throw it back and say what did he do wrong (bar the mis-kick, but every player is allowed one of those are they not)?
Because he plays well? The role he plays he will never get the plaudits (although today he was played a bit further forward which was good), but actually watch what he does and you will see why he keeps his place in both the Brighton and England U21s teams
