[Football] Garth Crooks’ Team of the Week

[DavidinSouthampton]

Just checked it out for this weekend to see if any Brighton players were in it, given our performance yesterday. Not only were there none in there (fair enough, perhaps) but the result was not mentioned in his introduction - Brighton’s first home win of the season.... or lacklustre Spurs without Kane.

I wonder.... or strongly suspect.... that this was put together before our match started, which just isn’t fair

Who might have made it? Gross was the Sky man of the match. Both Gross and MacAllister got 9/10 in the Argus player ratings. Trossard was top in the BBC how you rated them thingy. Eddie Howe was bigging up Bissouma. The defence was rock solid, as was the goalkeeper. Maupay was a real pain in the backside for the Spurs defence.

Again it’s not fair

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

To be honest, I'm not bothered.







Is Crooks still talking?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Who?

 

[Ding Dong !]

You mean Garth, the ex Spurs player

 

[Beach Hut]

Does anyone take this ex-player seriously ?

His only contribution to football was an air kick as Ricky Villa scored that wonder goal.

I'd trust his opinion on which foods have high calorific values. Not much else.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Clearly completed before our game, along with Cascarino in The Times.

(and also along with the report in The Times, which barely mentions BHA (no surprise there) and doesn't mention the AC chance at the end. Presumably because the guy had already sent his copy in).

Infogol however had Veltman, Gross and Ali Mac

It’s not fair - let’s keep it that way. Under the radar, unacknowledged, in the background and so on. When ever we play, and beat, the so-called big clubs it’s always how badly they’ve played and rarely how l’il ol’ Brighton performed. Good, long may that continue. WE know better.

 

[gazingdown]

He has included Brighton players in the past, I would put it down to simply the game time and he possibly did the team of the week before he could watch/analyse the game.

Nice when we see our players there, however don't really care either way ultimately.

Just had a natter with one of my next door neighbours who is a Chelsea Fan.

He thought Gross and Bissouma were superb yesterday and it is absurd we are not mid Table.

I pointed out we can't score goals...

In fairness, he was a decent player.

I could understand if he was with a newspaper. His TOTW would be fun clickbait.

But the Beeb really needs someone who, well, knows a little more. There will be a multitude of fans out there with more astute opinions.

Bit harsh....375 games....129 goals.

The longer we stay under the radar the better. we'll only lose our better players before getting good enough to establish ourselves.

I may pop over the road and knock on my neighbours door later. Spuds fan who bangs on relentlessly about Harold Faulty-Mare

Well I'm jolly cross!!

Actually I'm not too worried. Just struck me as interesting.

Under the radar - it's where we like to be.

Don't get cross, just enjoy ....
