Introducing Spanish Dave......Replacement For The Barnes Haters

[BrianWade4]

I never boo our players. But, I was at the game today and thought Lopez was dire

 

[BN9 BHA]

Play him in the middle and we will score goals, play him wide and he is a totally different player. We aren't scoring at the moment because we play an incredibly defensive midfield 3 in JFC, Andrews and Stephens. That's the problem, not Dave, you all are clueless and so is Garcia.

Did you see his "shots" on goal today?

 

[Questions]

We're hardly a squad of world-beaters, so he fits in well in terms of quality then.

If mediocrity is your bench mark MB then yes. There are plenty of better players than David out there who we can get. It was very much a 'better the devil you know' when we re-signed him. He hadn't even kept in shape during the close season.

Edit: just to add I would not berate anyone having a bad time or suffering a loss of form ( lack of effort is different )and I know we need players who can play the killer ball but we need them to do it much more consistently than DavidLopez because if he was more consistent I for one could forgive him for pulling out of every 50/50 ball this season.

THEY(THE BARNES HATERS ) have a large hole in their lives
so someone has to do the job

me
well he wears the blue and white and I really could not find it in my heart to hate anyone who wears the blue and white
I am sure no one goes on to the field to do badly

 

[BrianWade4]

And Lopez is still pulling out of tackles. Wet.

 

[BBassic]

I always rated Barnes and that fact has no bearing on the other fact that Lopez has been largely woeful for the entire season.

Its time for OG to drop him and give March a go as he clearly wants it more.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I'm guilty of hoping that when he went down it might lead to a few games out. His performances don't appear to matter to OG. Truly another shocker today.

 

[portslade seagull]

Inevitable really - he's been poor for most of the season and he never commits to a 50-50

This ... He has been extremely poor this season and anybody that states otherwise is deluded

 

[albionalex]

On his day he can be a great player and has his moments in games. However, he's been poor this season, only had a good 2nd half of last season and was anonymous in the play-offs.

 

[Soulman]

Did you go today??
I don't agree with shouting abuse at our players but David Lopez was piss poor today, very lightweight, bottled out of 50/50 challenges and as for his shooting,
No disrespect to you Mowgli but he didn't do all-right, sorry.

I have to agree, Dave was poor. He did pull out of challenges as well.

 

[W.C.]

I wasn't there today and couldn't therefore grade his performance, but it's always an ugly scene and uncomfortable surroundings for most when the hate-filled look to scream abuse at one loan figure in our own colours. As if anyone deserves that. Our disappointments oughtn't really be released with such selfish spite. Spanish Dave won't refind his form with his face covered in spit or confidence dented more. He mightn't have done much super-right for a while, but he doesn't deserve to be despised or laid to blame for our slightly average season. I hope his slightly odd face is filled from now on with the constant muttering of HUMBLE PIE as he proves various foul gobbers wrong.

Amen.

 

[Prettyboyshaw]

David has been all season bar one game. If his name was David not Daviiiid he'd be playing for Crawley or on an easyjet flight home

 

[CheeseRolls]

Disgraceful, a kid shouted hope you have broken your leg when a Watford player was injured.

Sounds familiar. Right bunch of charmers sit behind us at the Amex, their dad's sit the row behind. Rude kid calls the ref a paedo or baldy and is into leg breaking. Dad has a day off from being the village idiot somewhere near Horsham and laughs loudly at his own jokes as he abuses our players.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

The difference is Barnes was actually quite good and had good games amongst bad,where as Lopez is crap every game and anyone who seriously thinks he should be starting is either blind or stupid.....BUT at the end of the day it is not David's fault it is the managers for keep picking him.

 

[Notters]

There is something about that fixture that always brings the idiots out. Has been for a few years. Couple of very brave tools given abuse to one of the ball boys. Luckily he didn't hear.

It's the 120 mile rule. All matches within 120 miles of Brighton attract lots of goons.

 

[Hillian1]

It's the 120 mile rule. All matches within 120 miles of Brighton attract lots of goons.

This, and it is precisely why I don't go away any more.

We aren't scoring at the moment because we play an incredibly defensive midfield 3 in JFC, Andrews and Stephens.

That's one game and it wouldn't have been the three chosen if Ince had been fit. At least make these put downs sensible.

 

[smeariestbat]

Next time someone makes a mistake at work i shall loudly boo them. It can only serve to both motivate them and help me express my frustartion. Shirley?

 

[brightn'ove]

Some football fans are thick, it's a fact of life. There will always be someone for them to aim their pent up aggression at.

 

[The Fifth Column]

I like SpanDav but he really isn't the sort of player you want when you need a bit of physicality and grit against some of these teams, the archetypal 'luxury' player who is a bit lightweight I'm afraid. Needs a spell on the bench.
