Ok so there is Hart but in reality he is not up to the job, regardless of his excellent service to the club down the years he just isn't good enough any more, we had better bloody hope that a) Forster sorts himself out, or b) Poyet thinks Barker is ready and can cut the mustard, or c) We are getting someone f***ing GOOD in on loan.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
2 Strikers at the club

Didn't Poyet say that he hated the loan system the other night? Because he hates players not being willing to fight for their place, instead just asking for a loan.
I wonder whether Poyet would prefer a small squad of players that want to be at Brighton, rather than have wantaway players.

You'd hope it was c) but Dickinson has already gone. I'd have wanted c) to happen before he went tbh.

how many loanees can we play in the starting 11?
Say Calderon gets injured, we would have Hoyte, Lualua and Painter starting
we cannot loan to many more in as they wouldnt all be able to play, we need a striker badly though. Forster was out of form for the 2 weeks running up to him toy chucking

Out of form for a whole two weeks
yes indeed, and then you add on a couple of weeks more without actually playing at all, and being as old as he is, it cant help
Then we have games against the top 3 to play, and a CRUCIAL game against Exeter at home
And we only have 2 other strikers (and Hart) at the club, so it looks a bit shit house

Maybe the rest will have done him some good and he will be raring to go for the remainder of the season?

Or he will need another couple of games to get his match fitness back!

The clear out gathers pace.
Will any of the loaned players play for The Albion again. None of them have been loaned to gain experience so it would seem as if our Jolly South American has no further use for them.

Albion boss Gus Poyet has let Liam Dickinson join Peterborough on loan, because he cannot guarantee him a regular place.
Dickinson's move to London Road for the rest of the season reunites him with Jim Gannon, his former manager at Stockport.
Poyet told The Argus: "He knows he is going to be in and out, depending on so many things.
"The manager there knows him personally and knows how to get the best out of him. He just wants to play football."
Dickinson's departure, after six goals in 32 appearances this season, leaves Albion with a strike force of Glenn Murray, Chris Holroyd, Gary Hart and the out-of-favour Nicky Forster, whose contract dispute remains unresolved.
Poyet confirmed Forster's situation is "still the same".
Asked if he will be moving back into the loan market for another forward, Poyet added: "Probably but there are options in every single department, not only one."
So the Forster situation hasn't been resolved contrary to some of the supposition on here surrounding the Dickinson loan.

What Dickinson wants is neither here nor there. I cannot begin to see how Gus considers him surplus to requirements at the moment, given the fact we currently only have an unproven non-league striker, a striker who hasn't scored at home in nearly a year, and another striker who hasn't scored in about 4 years.
If Gus hasn't got someone else lined up then I really do fear for us. Its a bizarre decision.

Exactly, if Murray gets injured we are absolutely f***ed this season, and I have been saying up till now we will deffo stay up.
Agreed.
If we don't have someone in by Thursday, I will be very, very concerned.
If we go down after all this, I really think Gus will get the chop...
