Yes If we had got it right then we wouldn't be where we are in the league. They all looked like panic buys at the time, to keep supporters happy. This definitely proved the case, you can accept one or two being "gash", but not four or five. Only two people to blame for that Bloom and Burke. I am...
Would go with this. Looks really strong. If we win I would stick with this for a few games. Hope Elliott Bennett extends loan. Surely Gardener makes the bench. Having said that I suspect that Sami will start him in front of JFC or Ince.
To be fair, nobody is taking it seriously because we have been so disappointed with additions this season that expectations are at an all time low and if Burke is involved in the process god knows who we will get. If as TB suggests he spends most of his day looking at identifying players for the...
If it's a player then he is bound to be no better than what we have got already. As the old " we won't sign anybody unless they improve the team" went out the window this season. I await to be surprised.
Ings has now scored two. They should show his play to our forwards and how to position yourself when crosses come in. Inside the 6 yard box and not 12 yards behind.
I am now very worried about our recruitment policy. On this showing there is not one player in tonight's team that is anywhere near the Brighton first team. I expected to see a bit of class from the ex Chelsea academy players, but Pappoe was banned and Cole and Kandi on the bench and when they...
Don't agree with this. We put in several balls yesterday low across the box and every time Baldock was miles behind them. He hasn't got the anticipation required at this level and he does not make runs that ask for that type of ball either.
Certainly agree with this, he was the best passer by a country mile and is our only midfielder who can pick out a quick pass to get things moving. He needs a run of games. Sometimes I just think that BG is on a wind up, so many disagree with him. Although there are others on the tread that...
Matter of opinions I know, but I thought other than a couple of chasing runs near the end of the game. Baldock showed why he is a League 1 Striker. Lightweight and does not anticipate where the ball is going to be delivered. Don't know what Colunga has done but it was crying out for his movement...
This for me Holla and Ince to tighten up the midfield and creativity coming from Bennett and Colunga. JFC will get more freedom to get forward and hopefully get into the box like he used to under Poyet.
JFC might not be the real deal, but if Ince doesn't start he is the standout player in midfield most weeks. Gardener makes him look like Alexis Sanchez and Texiera has had it after 45 minutes. In the second half of games JFC is doing all the grafting himself no wonder he passes the ball sideways...
Agree. For me Colunga is a better bet and I was surprised he did not play tonight. His all round game is better than Baldock's and he has better control, runs off the ball and vision.
This exactly as we saw it. In the second half it looked as if they would score on every attack through the midfield. JFC, Gardener and Texiera were light in the tackle and were not picking up runners. It was crying out for Ince and I think Sami got lucky in the fact that they didn't score in...
Spot on but the last couple of games he has looked like a conference player. Unfortunately the more mistakes he makes the worse he gets, his confidence is shot and it's a shame we can't rest him for a couple of games. The pressure of captaining a struggling team has got to him. Needs a break.
