Just going on last nights performance he looked very slow and didn't look comfortable on the ball. I know he had a good season last year but has always worried me when he tries to play football at the back.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Greer is he all that???

The first 6 words of your post are the keys here - he wasn't at anything like his best last night, but he was hardly the only one.

Silly old bat
The same thought had crossed my mind. He missed our game there two years ago because he was still suspended. The Swindon fans were giving him lots of stick.

He's obviously not the long term solution given his age, but he did what he came in to do, delivered us promotion and gave us a solid first season in the championship. Not bad for £250k if you ask me.

Gordon Greer is an absolutely ESSENTIAL part of this team. To describe him as not looking comfortable on the ball is quite frankly ridiculous and if it worries you when you see defenders playing football at the back I suggest you stay away from Brighton and Hove Albion until Gus Poyet is long gone.
Is Bruno now the only player to avoid criticism after one game this season?

I don't think one poor performance in a pretty meaningless game is reason enough to panic and doubt his quality.
I think the long diagonal passes are the "new dimension" introduced by Gus. They were practicing it in the Cordoba game too. The idea is to stop teams committing fully to attack mode because they will realise we can hit them on the break - I think it's fair to describe it as "work in progress" at the moment!!

Gordon Greer: good Scotsman; great player. Seems odd so many seagulls fans come on this site to slag off our own players. Pretty sad.

I'm not slagging him off ,this is a forum to debate the team and the club.

Greer, is not only our sexiest player, he's also the captain and vital to our team. He controls the defence so well, hardly ever makes mistakes plus he's got outstanding vision for a defender. At 250K we got him at an absolute steal.

It is also the main reason Gus is picking Dunk ahead of El-Abd as Adam cannot play this ball.
But neither can Dunk

Greer is quality. He and El Abd should start.

3rd time lucky
Jeez....... Yes I think he is all that don't get me wrong he is no Vincent Kompany but in this division he is absolutely vital to our team.

He is not the greatest in the air considering his height.

All three goals were scored from dead central positions that perhaps should have been stopped maybe we need to look into why. Simple solution bring El Abd back to partner Greer.
