Typical clueless thread to be honest. The space he makes is enough to have him on the pitch
Agreed. Absolutely nothing logical or useful can be taken from those final 4/5 games. They were utter lunacy.
At the end of the day we all know that Sam is a nice guy, tries hard, creates space, runs like CMS and has a great work ethic ... but we want promotion, and we just missed out .... we wont get promotion when your number 9 only scores 4 in 33 appearances
Really? A CB trying to get on the end of a pacey ball at the back post and score with his knee Is the worst miss you have ever seen? Dean Saunders away at West Brom beats that a thousand times over.Greer in injury time, at home to CARDIFF was the worst miss I've seen, from any Brighton player, ever. Almost impossible.
Do you rate Hughton?League one player! Not good enough at this level.
Do you rate Hughton?
All regular goalscorers have one thing in common...good positional sense. They tend to be in the right place at the right time. They have an innate ability to second guess what is likely to happen and react to it. They can pull away from defenders and make that extra yard of space. They have good balance and can adjust their bodies to knock the ball in from awkward positions. They have confidence in their own ability. They know the runs to make and when to make them.
Hemed has better positional sense than Baldock but lacks the latter's mobility. Baldock can make the runs into areas that creates space for Hemed but will score less goals, as he will get on the end of less chances. They dovetail quite well together but over the course of a whole season are, between them, likely to contribute between 15-20 goals. This leaves us a little light in goals and the need is there for another striker capable of 10-12 goals.
Strikers who score goals generally work in a strike partnership. Would Wardy have scored so many goals without Mellor? I bet there were Brighton fans moaning that Spider hadn't scored many goals.
I agree.
I think Spider got about 14 when Wardy broke the club record with 36. The total contribution of 50 goals was amazing and took all the burden away from other players. I believe that Hemed and Baldock is a pairing that works well for us but because Hemed isn't ultra-clinical and Baldock doesn't get on the end of much, I just feel that they are going to leave us a little light on goals. Another proven goalscorer, who can regularly come off the bench and contribute 10 + goals, is the answer.

Give him a different number, then. Might make all the difference.
I like him, and I seem to remember reading and hearing on more than one occasion Mr Hughton's appreciation of him and what he brings to the team. I think his opinion matters more than most.
We sell Baldock and sign 3 new strikers? Yeah seems likely. Hughton has started him every time he has been fit this season.
