It is, without a doubt, a fantastic time to be a Brighton supporter. I'm one of the younger generation of supporters, but I understand how our new, shiny stadium is a massive contrast to traditional football. I personally love it, but I can understand why some people may not.
One thing I...
As stated by the OP, this is simply speculation. Of course, there's been some very weird things going on behind the scenes recently. Calde not starting, Tanno coming out of retirement, Buckley comes back against Barnsley but not even in the squad on Saturday, and now LuaLua being bought whilst...
This. I'd like to see a similar scoreline but this time goals from CMS from open play. That'll be the real marker to see if we're anywhere near getting our form and style back.
We're not dirty. As ^ mentioned, we're not a physical team, meaning we give away a lot of niggly fouls. I wouldn't worry about the stats, more so what it says about us (that we're not strong enough).
What really worries me is yesterday was almost exactly the same squad he put out against Watford.
How we're expected to pass the ball and stretch the field playing on only one wing I don't know.
Is it any coincidence that pretty much every game's team selection since the Palace game has had...
Surely a 4-3-3 system would solve that problem perfectly? Noone/CMS/Paynter/Buckley/Barnes/LuaLua occupying the front three with natural midfielders in the middle.
Except for the goal at Pompey perhaps, all of CMS' goals have stemmed from play on the wings. I think that says something about how...
...so use them.
I wasn't at the game today, but looking at the team sheet, it looks like we for the umpteenth time only played on one wing today. When will Gus see that this produces no goals? Zero against Watford, zero against Birmingham. Our goals against Barnsley came from a free kick and a...
Eh? I meant our club, as in we are Brighton fans, and Brighton is our club. Didn't mean it to sound pompous.
After listening to Gus on TalkSport, I definitely see where he's coming from, though admittedly he dug himself a hole and probably uses personal experience a little too much. I guess...
I do Spanish (in particular the Latin American form of it) and I personally don't know the way they use 'negrito' but '-ito' is indeed generally a term of endearment. However, Gus has been in this country for far too long to realise that any variation of the word is racism here. He can't plead...
