Being JFC



Thunder Bolt

Silly old bat
Does TB not see the irony in his statement that "JFC played more than anybody in the first two thirds of the season"? That will be the two thirds that we were shit then. Since he hasn't been playing we have improved greatly.

So it must be JFC's fault then? Not Hyypia, or Greer, or Dunk nor Stockdale, it's all down to JFC.

Acker79 stats has shown that isn't true.
and here we go again.
The same little clique of small minded individuals piping up insisting in using 'facts' to prove a point.

Get over it will you.

Since when has the actual events in question needed to be backed up by la-de-da facts on NSC.

If you were inclined to, you could suggest we were shit in that part of the season because we had a shit manager, and we've improved since we got rid of said shit manager. Heaven forbid Bloom should criticize us fans, but I think what he's saying includes more than a nugget of truth.
Why are you surprised at the notion of bloom criticising fans? He is 100% behind the ceo that does so at will.

In this instance though I think he's spot on.

Lol. In my mind, facts and truth will always take priority over opinions. I wouldn't want to 'get over it'.

TB had a bit to say about CMS the other day as well.
I can't remember him having so much to say about individual players in the past although I could be wrong.

There's mistake number 2.

Next you'll be saying we need to wait till after the transfer window to declare it a success or a failure.
When we all know already it's going to be an abject failure, while The Barberist banks squillions of pounds, for his bonus.

The constant abuse aimed at JFC annoys me more that it should. I know it's only a minority, but they are far louder than those that can see what a good young player he is and how he is clearly destined to play at a high level.

Don't be, it's not we, it's just a few sad flappy-mouthed flabby-brains who if they weren't so thick would be embarrassed by their constant anti-JFC diatribe.
I think I would echo that sentiment exactly.

I'm not sure why you think I'm surprised. I think he's right about JFC, and I think he's been right in backing Barber too.

It annoys me greatly, but let's be honest here, that vocal minority forced JFC off Twitter so whether they're a minority or not, they are having an impact.

In terms of performance, I've always thought players thrive in a supportive environment over a critical one and the Amex isn't a supportive environment for one of our best your players.

But Albion fans are ALWAYS right when it comes to hammering a player who's CLEARLY useless.. (Barnes, Hammond, Stockdale, JFC etc...)

The JFC/Gardner midfield pairing had a lot to do with our poor form in my view.

The point I was making however was that saying he played more than anyone else in our poorest run for years wasn't the best example of why he shouldn't be criticised.

Agreed.

JFC isn't the reason for our shockingly abysmal season of course, but if he and Gardner had remained as our primary CM partnership for much longer, as they were under Hyypia, then we would be staring L1 in the face right now. That's not JFC's fault, but with the players he had around him he simply was not up to the job of controlling or influencing games at this level. Lightweight, ineffective and largely anonymous. He may well develop into a very decent Championship player, but he had no chance of doing that with disinterested junk like Gardner alongside him. That was a weak midfield, and the results speak for themselves since it was binned.

It is sad that you need to post this. JFC is a Brighton lad who has always been totally committed on the football field. When he reads stuff like this posted by a so called fan how do you think he's supposed to feel?

The opinion of anyone who uses the term "shit" to describe the performance of a 20 year old who has always given 100% for Brighton is lamentably laughable. I know that it's been posted by someone who has less understanding of football or the ability to play it than the contents of Jake's toilet pan after he's had a crap but then I can be more sanguine about your bilge as I'm not the butt of your crass attack.

Cannot deny that if JFC was a regular starter in our midfield now we would be staring at lge1 next season, its nothing personal but ince,kayal,Stephens are far better options at the moment
