We need a goal before HT here, dominated

These are the worst team we’ve played at home by a mile in this first 38 minutes. 0-0.

Veltman is Brilliant!!

f***ing hell Enciso. Don't demand the ball and kick it gently back to their keeper who's just on. Absolute pea roller. Reminds me of me playing 5-aside.

 

[macbeth]

hate to say it but it’s been quite painful watching mitoma for these last few weeks. looks like he needs a rest.

 

[maltaseagull]

Enciso in minute 3 was the chance. That’s not unlucky to hit the post it’s a bad miss at this level

He is trying too hard. So a many missed chances.

 

[Bridcutt]

Enciso probably 7 shots now

 

[Mackenzie]

Julio will catch one right eventually

Agree, they've looker worse than Saints. Enciso is over trying to score

 

[American Seagle]

New keeper, get early goal so he doesn’t get confidence and we could do well……

It's ok enciso will warm him up with some pot shots from a stupid angle and distance when he should pass instead.

 

[US Seagull]

Enciso politely eases the new keeper in with an easy one. What a gentleman.

 

[Bodian]

Going off. Now we need to test the new boy.

Or Enciso could give him an easy dolly-shot to get his confidence up....

 

[maltaseagull]

His best game this season so far!

Can I have what you are on?

 

[BrightonLoyal]

I like that Enciso is direct and having a shot as we usually overplay everything but he makes some poor decisions on the ball

 

[macbeth]

brentford time wasting starting now

 

[Si Gull]

Or Enciso could give him an easy dolly-shot to get his confidence up....

Or just fire it wide and not trouble the keeper at all!

 

[maresfield seagull]

Just stating here and now
Julio will score tonight he s finding so many good positions Just a tad more composure required

Yep, apart from the excellent offside goal they've offered nothing.

Really difficult for a manager to play with the least efficient player in Europe when on a bad streak.
View attachment 194215
Its a striker/attacking midfielder with 0 goals and 1 assist (against Crawley) since August 2023 and 0 goals for us since May the same year.
In the last two seasons, Enciso has taken 88 shots for club and country, scoring 2 goals (both for Paraguay).

1 goal per 44 shots makes it very difficult for a manager to pick a player.

To make a comparison, Aaron Connolly shot 80 times in total for Brighton, scoring 8 goals. This makes Aaron Connolly 4.4 times more efficient than Julio Enciso.

I thought he looked fresh against Palace and thought he would start against West Ham, but I have full understanding if the manager decides he doesn't want to start a footballer who haven't performed anywhere near an acceptable level in a long time.

40 minutes and 8 shots later we're at 2 goals (both for Paraguay) in 96 shots. Can we get to 100?

I'd like to see van Hecke have a shot or two - he gets in good positions to do so, and his passing accuracy is quite high - so why not?
