Who cleared off the line for the Albion@ 6 minutes? Different on each radio programme. Radio 5 now corrected to Bridcutt from Razak! Going back to Radio Sussex.

Bridcutt (outstanding this season) sounds like he is having a mare - giving the ball away all the time. He needs to get some confidence back rapidly with afew good passes

Can see we are all going to be thinking the same way tonight every time the ball comes into our area.


Bridcutt has now given the ball away cheaply three times (or is it 4) in the first ten minutes

Regarding Bridcutt and Navarro together:

With Bridcut and Navarro

Win 14 (60.9%)

Loss 6

Without them working together
Win 4 (26.7%)
Draw 8
Loss 3

Regarding Vokes and CMS as a partnership...
-Early this season fans were crying out for us to play two wingers. We then did this in the first half v leeds and they were all over us until we reverted to one winger.
-The fans were crying out for Reyes to play in midfield, which he did v millwall, and we were fortunate to walk away with a point after reyes was taken off early.
-Fans were adamant they didn't want brezovan in goal, he comes back in and we go a month and a half undefeated, beat the team that were then top of the table, beat a top 10 premier league team.
-Calls for barnes to come off v millwall, questioning the point of taking off CMS, then he wins us the free kick from which Lualua equalised

Should we listen to the fans regarding vokes and cms? Isn't gus allowed to change his mind following witnessing the players in training?
Those are some interesting opinions I, as a fan, didn't know I had.

Also regarding the statistics, "without them together" seems a little vague. It would be more useful to know how many of the games were with just each individual rather than assuming without one the other can't function. Also this apporach doesn't take into account the opposition in those games, which other players might have been in the team during those runs, etc. So they can't really prove anything.

Slagging off Bridcutt, that's a new one? ???

I don't think he's slagging off bridcutt, more the partnership of bridcutt and navarro. The last few day a few people have been questioning it, despite the pairing of those two arresting our 10 game winless run, and us winning 60% of games with those two together, as opposed to only 25% of them whe only one or neither of them play.
