Don’t know to be honest, I never set out with the intention to troll but I appreciate my honest opinions aren’t always universally received on here, but then if we all agreed it’d be a pretty boring place. I try to offer my own balanced thoughts, sometimes an attempt at mild humour which often...

Let’s just get this absolutely straight, you don’t hold the forwards accountable for any of the comedy misses last season? The TWO missed penalties against West Brom, the header over the bar from 1 yard out against Sheff Utd, the woodwork being thumped 5 times against Man Utd, none of that is on...

This takes some beating. https://youtu.be/RS5boLWIVPM

Yeah, I think he could do well, but not necessarily as a striker, I could see him playing wide left of a front 3, with Maupay/Andone/Welbeck through the middle and Trossard wide right. Whilst not having specifically as a striker I think he’d negate the need to sign one. A goals by committee...

Another central midfielder is just what we need to cover LB, RB and upfront.

Agreed. If we sign a RB/RWB and Veltman can go to CB I don’t think we’ll really miss a beat.

Do we need defenders? Yes Are the club trying recruit defenders? Yes Are we going to be a bit short until we sign said defenders? Also yes. That’s not doom and gloom, it’s just what it is.

You can call Welbeck a left back if you like, doesn’t make it true. As I’ve said, March is a fine LWB, being a LB is a different job altogether. Veltman is a CB, Webster said as much in a recent interview, the context being about covering the hole left by White. But sure, ignoring that let’s...

Ah, so it’s Potter’s fault that his strikers are shit and he has no full backs.

The two players you’ve used as examples are defenders first and foremost, they learnt their trade playing as full backs so the defensive side of the game is already bread and butter for them (maybe not so much for TAA), there’s also a huge difference in playing for a Liverpool team VVD with...

Let’s just focus on the defence, as whichever way you try to spin it 9 goals in 3 seasons in Austria simply isn’t going to rev my engine. We currently have no full backs, none, no right back or left, even if/when Lamptey is fit he’s far more suited to RWB, as is March who is very much not a LB...

Why are you including Cucurella, he isn’t a Brighton player. As I said before, my concerns stem from the fact that our squad is CURRENTLY weaker than it was last season, obviously if we buy upgrades we’ll be in a better position, but starting the season without a left back or right back seems an...

We’ve lost White, Veltman can play there, he’s not as good as White but a good player nonetheless. With that in mind we have nobody to play right back or we can use uncomfortable looking midfielders as wing backs. If we go with a flat back four I think we’re asking for trouble as we don’t have a...

Possibly investing a bit too much hope in Mwepu’s goal scoring record, he scored 9 goals in 72 games in the Austrian league, not exactly mouth watering figures. PS. Your question about Cucurella, are you for real? Obviously signing a defender for a position where we currently have a glaring...

If you like, I think he’s a very good manager who current has a disgustingly imbalanced squad bereft of pace and goals.

I suspect you’re right, my selection was based more on what I’d like to see rather than what Potter will pick out of the hat. White to Duffy, that’s quite the downgrade.

Of course it matters, obviously you can play anyone out of position, but it’s how they cope that matters, White played well in every position he was given, we have a centre back in Ostigard who could take over, but let’s not pretend we have a player who can cover CB, RB, RWB and CDM to the level...

? Making it about Nketiah or Potter himself?

I looked on YouTube and selected the first ‘highlights’ reel. Some of his misses…he’s perfect for us :lol:

On the contrary, our ‘successs’ last season came from being defensively resilient, we all know we were pony in front of goal and seeing as we’ve done approximately nothing to address it then it would perhaps be unwise to expect much of an upturn in performance, defensively however we are now...
