Luckily for us, Hughton doesn't agree with what a lot of you said.

Actually Houghton did agree. He dropped him for the Charlton game and a number of other games soon after. His words were supportive, which is good management, but in reality, he took him out of the firing line as he simply wasn't performing.

And working hard is a prerequisite of being a footballer, it isn't an attribute.

When he was going through this run, Stockdale came out in an interview saying exactly the opposite of this, citing tracking back, edge of box clearances, pulling for the team etc

Of course he's going to say that. He's the team's main central striker, the whole side is built around providing him with chances. Stockdale isn't going to come out and slate him in the media when he's going through a bad phase (and 1 goal in 19 is a particularly bad phase when the whole side is built around providing you with opportunities).

I just think a new thread would have been the way forward here.

But not as patronising or fun

Rubbish, you seem rather dim. The reality is that you don't know why he wasn't selected, you are simply making an assumption to support your prejudice. How many games did he miss? And yet he's still scored how many goals? And what position is he in the Championship top scorers list?

And working hard is a prerequisite of being a footballer, it isn't an attribute.

You would think it would be a prerequisite and yet many forward don't work as hard as him.

Hughton told seagulls.co.uk, "Tomer's contribution to the team has been good all season, and even in a period of time when he wasn't scoring goals, he was contributing. That is what Tomer can give you. In this division you need work rate and physicality and Tomer gives us that.

Actually, If you imagine by making that statement Houghton is merely being supportive of a non performing player then I think I'll retract the rather.

Can Brighton supporters still not spell the manager's name? Not even after he's been here for nearly 18 months

I reckon keep this one going. Then, when his insouciant penalty doesn't go in during the play off shoot out, people will be lauded for their glorious insight.

Or when Tomer is playing in the Premier League, next season, irrespective as to who for.

Nope!

To paraphrase, "Hughton, I think we've got a problem".*

*I know the quote should be "Houston, we've had a problem".

Now that's a word you won't see too many times on NSC - how many people are now going to their virtual dictionary to look it up
