CMS, Baldock and Colunga

[portslade seagull]

It's time for 4-4-2. We don't have a striker who is proficient in the central, lone role - but two up front could do a job, I reckon.

Agree with you on this Mustafa, it would also sort the confusion in other positions out as well

 

[brightonmark1234]

i feel all 3 are the same type of forward

 

[mona]

Jesus, Moses and Buddha.
Could do a job.

 

[brightonmark1234]

the only one who has impressed me is cms but baldock and colunga have been rubbish

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Was Baldock a long term target to partner Ulloa?

Smacks of a signing to appease the masses.

O,Grady a Burke signing not fancied at all by Hypia.

Colunga = Rodriguez mark 2 - tidy but offers little in the championship.

CMS we know he is not a player who is going to make the difference at this level even especially after his injury.

Toko?
Agustien?
Etc etc

Our recruitment and rent enjoin policy has ben nuts since Poyet left.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Two at best league one strikers and a foreign player who needs to bed in. Is this really the best you can do Burke?

 

[Gully Forever]

has anyone played balls consistently into channels. .

From what I saw yesterday!. Passing the ball to someone's feet without it going out of play consistently would be a start!.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Take a real good look at these 3 when they play. Yesterday, each of them were poised to burst out of the line on probably 20 occasions in total. They are never found by a ball from midfield or a ball over the top from the back. We have three explosive forwards but we just don't play to their strengths. Not since Vicente, has anyone played balls consistently into channels. Maybe Paddy might do this.

Totally agree. This happened so may bloody times yesterday

 

[Triggaaar]

Well I must of been watching another team then I guess

If you think we have the worst keeper you've ever seen, then yes, you've been watching another team.

According to the LICKERS at the end of August these players would SHOOT us to the Premier League (Automatically TOO)

On four or five games I've seen him play I'm
Struggling to think of worse considering how much we payed for him and the fact he played prem football

 

[Rookie]

Might help if the central midfield were allowed to get near them rather than watching the full backs play as wingers while they cover the space.

Ah, those are new caveats. Yes, given how much we paid for him, it's been a very disappointing start. What about Teixeira - ok at best? Blimey.

 

[doug7126]

I thought we looked unfit and sloppy need to get the team fit and go back to basics.

This seems to be the crux of the matter dear Mark

McCourt was finding them once he came on for his cameo. There is still hope.

 

[Albion Dan]

So you thought, at the time of appointment, that sammi was a poor choice of manager and also that we had signed poor players? I'm guessing you were in a minority.

How things look on paper after club spin is completely different to how things are in reality. You can only judge what you see and both the manager and squad seem woefully worse than last season after seeing the results on the pitch!

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Has Ben Nuts been signed to partner Greg Bobkin?

 

[Jesus Gul]

I'd put COG and Paddy in. Baldock's small isn't he

At the start of the first season at the Amex, I was amazed at the speed and passing of the football, compared to the last season at Withdean in League 1. Championship football was so much better and the players seemed so much fitter and athletic. Obviously, you would expect this if a team goes up, but I was struck by the HUGE difference, which I had not anticipated. COG, CMS and SB all made a good name for themselves in League 1, and were rightly lauded for their goal tally. The club spends around the 2 million mark for players and for that you get a proven league 1 scorer, but I just wonder if this is enough for Championship level. This is NOT a criticism of the club -without parachute payments, and wanting to keep to FFP rules, they cannot afford to spend much larger sums. Please don't get me wrong - I am a huge fan of CMS but even an optimist such as I am, would have to say that his goal tally, even allowing for the injury, has not been what we had anticipated when he arrived, and I fear that this will be the case with the others. I really hope that I am wrong, and I admit it is early days, but the current signs are not promising.
