I used to hate it when he did the long walk around the pitch at the end as if he cared more than the rest of the team. Attention seeking nonsense . All I ask from the players is that they do the business in the game, which he so rarely did.

Indeed. From the left wing. Never got the chance to play in a front two he would have thrived in. Such a shame. His achillies injury had finished him long before Ulloa arrived anyway.
A real trier and not a complete failure for us when he first came. He never lived up to the justifiably high expectations. I remember how excited I was when his signing was announced. He had just single-handedly won the play-off final for Peterborough with an amazing performance. The injury is the thing that has finished him. He was totally reliant on pace. Lovely bloke though who never stopped trying. We should wish him well

On his last warning
Can't help but feel, an Albion record transfer fee went on one of these:

But there's the problem, until he played for Brighton he did have an end result - so maybe it wasn't him, but the way he way being played that prevented the goals from flowing!
Dagenham & Redbridge = Goal per 2.8 games
Peterborough = Goal per 2.3 games
Brighton = Goal per 5.45 games
So was the problem the player, or the system - as the goal stats from his previous clubs look quite decent!

You can't please some people - so if he had just walked straight off without an acknowledgment to the crowd that would have been fine then?

Agree with everyone on here who says the system was wrong.
McLean never pulled up any trees when he left Peterborough either. So perhaps the Mac Attack was just two players who were perfectly suited to each other's style of play.
And Boyd (who I have a lot of time for) helped a lot.

We should have built a team around a striker who cost £3.5m at that stage of our development. We never did.
CMS gave us everything but injury and lack of adaptability (unlike Baldock) meant that he never really hit the heights we expected from a record signing.
Now look at Murray. We seem to be doing everything including giving him a long contract (for a 33yr old) to help him to score.

Wardy! BZ. Sadly, it rarely works.
I just remember watching him miss chance after chance and not be able to control a football. Our record signing. Then he'd be the one courting the crowd at the end. I'm not the only one who thought it a bit naff.
I notice sometimes Murray is indifferent to the adulation of the crowd. I don't mind this , as he's doing the business on the pitch. I quite like that he's surly and doesn't pretend to be a people pleaser.
Anyway thank god we are no longer relying on cms to score our goals - I'm sure we can agree on that !
Nice photo but the dog isn't running around near the corner flag chasing a balloon

Sorry, I love playing Devils advocate, so please excuse me
Agreed, it is a mark of how far we have come when you see how much things have changed, even since Gus's period - I seriously think this is a far superior team, playing with superior tactics and for the most part players are played to their best positions and not shoe-horned into a system (Goldson excepting)
