Gary Dicker, is in my opinion, not terribly good.

Dicker & Painter were both well off the pace. Dicker looks like he's lacking a fair bit of confidence as well

Gleeballs? Really hope that's your surname. Superb work.


Gleeballs, and both Dicker and Painter are absolute balls.

That's amusing me rather.

Sorry.

Had an absolute mare tonight, just like Saturday. He's been brought back in too soon after his injury. Spaz, Navs or JFC should've been playing instead.

I don't care what or how he broke his leg, clearly he's not match fit and shouldn't be playing 90 mins, doesn't tackle, head or get stuck in like any midfielder should but still Gus's bum chum gets into the team week on week. He gets the ball and passes it 4 yards everytime if he's lucky to get anywhere with it. Strange how we performed better on the months he wasn't playing.

You deserve dickhead of the year for that post.

how many times first half was he advance of Barnes, who was doing his job? cover at best, probably best for him that he drop a division to enjoy his game because he's not awful generally, just not up to pass and move with any pace.

You go ahead old china. The truth & the irony lay within the great name. Long live the Gleeballs

Give the guy a f***ing break, he's just came back from a few months out and he's been thrown into a team playing 90 minutes each game, he hasn't had the best of couple of games lately but to start this thread off and write that about him, you're a dick.

He looks miles off the pace which is understandable but why Gus just doesn't wait till next season to play him I don't know..

Exactly, felt sorry for him, it was really embarrassing.

Does anyone think we will see Painter again? Looked well off the pace ...mind u his best cross of the year led to that header off the post lol

I think his fate was sealed after 45 mins. He was shocking. Gus wouldn't change a defender for no reason, we will not see him again in a Brighton shirt. We need an established LB permenant in the summer. I have liked Mattock and think he had adapted well to our style.

I think that people are forgetting that both Dicker and Painter were poor at the start of the season before they became injured and both were even then receiving a fair amount of stick from fans.

Both were vastly underrated last season and were outstanding for us, but sometimes players in a team who get promoted cannot make the step up to the next level, even though they look like they could.

How soon is now?
Both Painter and Dicker were shocking last night. I don't expect Painter will play for us again and Dicker shouldn't play again this season. I don't think he's championship quality, too slow to react to just about everything. If GP really believes Dicker can do it at this level then he should pull him from the first team squad now and allow him to get fully fit with a pre-season behind him and then we'll see..... But I doubt it'll happen

Extremely accurate assessment. Really liked both of them at league 1, but please no more - it is painful because all the good they did last year is being undone and our lasting memory of two reasonable players will be their inability at this level.

This.

Sad though it is because they were great last season, but Dicker was woeful before he broke his leg and Painter needed replacing before his hamstring injuries. I am sorry to say it but i hope i dont have to see them play again in the stripes.

You know Gus will play Dicker on Saturday though. God knows why. I can see to a certian extent what he sees in Barnes - the tracking back etc, but Dicker offered nothing last night apart from one little jammy flick on. If only Chippy hadn't retired.....

How he got in the team after saturdays performance ill never know.played just as shit tonite aswell

Gus has a thing for him, not entirely sure why. Hope I'm wrong but I think, in Dicker, he sees an image of himself. If so we might as well get used to seeing a whole lot more of him

Dicker and Painter just aren't up to championship level. Solid in League 1, there is no doubt about that. But when the summer comes, I'd be looking at selling.
