A little while ago it was just a striker we lacked but I now think we are lacking in a few areas. At the start of the season we had so many wide men but Noone left, Vicente is is a no show, LuaLua seems to be out of the reckoning. For me our best 2 defenders are out which as well as El abd & Bridge's defensive work they do get forward well. Bridge's crosses are excellent. I felt back in August we needed another centre back. For me we need a striker , a good crosser of the ball & a centre back.

CMS enough is enough.

You got to love CMS you certainly can't fault he's commitment and effort every game. As said on here a million times he could benifit from a Murray type partner up front with him. He just lacks that killer instinct at the moment and that comes with confidents.
Exactly that ! It's Gus fault , he knew the style of player he was buying and hen plays a system that clealy doesn't suit our most expensive player .......
That is not CMS fault
It's not the style of our system that makes him fluff chances every week, his finishing is terrible and needs far too many attempts. He clearly isn't a Million pound player but the price we paid for him is not his fault.
The last 24 hours on here have for the first time made me want to sell CMS.
Just so he can play in an effective attacking team, have the chanceS put on a plate for him, a striking/midfield partner to play off, and generally enjoy his football.
As said if that team happens to be Leeds and they gain promotion/play off place ahead of us so be it.
Because of our treatment of him, manager & fans alike, we deserve no better.

Are you saying that come the match that the fans don't give CMS 100% support? 'We don't deserve better?' My goodness you are precious about him aren't you? He earns a king's ransom for doing something he loves and is given much greater adulation than most other Albion players. Do you think he sweats one way or the other about a bit of post-match analysis on the internet?
Yeah that is a bit OTT, fair enough.
I'm sure it'll be raised by an equally far fetched anti-CMS post, in order to balance out the stupidity of it all.

Fair do's. Your yin to my yang. It's not been the best of weekends.
Think yourself lucky you weren't at the same petrol station, as me, today.

Well between Barnes and CMS they need 4 to 6 chances to score 1. They are the reverse of clinical finishers. Both run around allot and have other qualities but the pair of them couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo. We need a fox in the box / clinical finisher. Imagine what Ward or Zamora or even Murray would achieve with the countless chances created week in week out.

If anyone on here was watching Nicky Forster play upfront, they'd know what finishing and work effort are about. I'm sorry but Nicky forster was 10 times the player CMS is and worked equally as hard. CMS has been credited too much for work-rate when we pay to see class.

Good first touch - 1/5
Goal accuracy - 1/5
Should play - 1/5
CMS wouldn't have scored that Murray header in a million years. I'd rather see Agdestein play.

Regarding the money side of it, you are very close to the mark.
CMS, Bridge, Bruno, and a host of others earn far more than Murray does at CP. Gus made it a pointless point of principle not to reward Brighton's star player. Bizarre.
What are our scores for Barnes then lol
It's not relevant who Murray was replaced by, the point is we had a player who wasn't demanding crazy money who would have been just what we need.
