JFC

[Not Andy Naylor]

Could one of our coaching staff take JFC aside after training one day and work on his set plays? Most appear to be aimed at the head of the first defender. I may not know much about football, but I don't think that's what's supposed to happen.

Also, I presume from that slightly frightened expression on his face outside the club shop (sorry, Nike store) that the pic was taken when he had the ball at his feet and all the options for passing square or back had been closed off. He obviously can pass forward, as we saw in the Toulon tournament, but he seems reluctant to do it for us.

Had a poor game tonight, he is capable of much better.

We've had nothing in our locker from dead ball situations for years.

Well...I give you...Spanish Dave.

Orlandi? Vicente? and of course Spanish Dave.

 

[TomandJerry]

Shocking free kicks

 

[herecomesaregular]

He's played a lot now and I fail to see any quality dribbling, dead balls, pace, forward passes, shooting, all he does all the time is the simple short ball!

He does seem to have gone backwards this season. No urgency in his play and slows things down, reminds me a bit of Gary Dicker. Not helped by having Kemy alongside him though. He really is the poorest player I have seen in a Brighton shirt and that is saying something.

And gets that wrong

 

[Blackadder]

Thought he was poor tonight. Did not take one decent free kick or corner. This is disappointing as I really thought he would push on this season

The lad probably needs a couple of games out of the first team.

He was awful Saturday.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

His set plays are attrocious.

And for all their ability on the ball, I don't think Spanish Dave or Orlandi (still missing him) created enough from set pieces.

The best corner taker we have had in my 25 years watching Albion was Darren Currie, unfortunately we didn't have him for very long.

Is he? I can't remember the last time he had a good game. Who knows whether he has the potential to make it at this level one day but at the moment in my opinion he isn't anywhere near it. The first leg against derby last year was one of the most inept displays from anyone I can remember.
I really really hope he proves me wrong, but I just can't see it.

 

[crabface]

He is simply not good enough.

I have no idea the last time i remember him having a good game, seems to be very overated by some. Some how he has also managed to get himself plastered on the wall outside the club shop, without playing a good game all last season.

 

[Marshy]

I rate him highly, we must continue with him and Ince. I would however play him further forward as he is a goal threat.

 

[Grombleton]

The lad probably needs a couple of games out of the first team.

The problem being, who do we replace him with? Until we sign another player, and get Stephens fit then he'll be in the side. After that...well, who knows.

 

[Quinney]

Looked class when he first came on the scene, just needs a goal to give him confidence again. Set plays tonight were poor.

I know that there is doom and gloom at the moment but I'm pretty confident we will sign some players. I would suggest TOKO but I haven't seen him play yet. I'm guessing he is still not match fit.

 

[Black Rod]

Dean Cox mark II when it comes to corners

 

[WhingForPresident]

He doesn't seem to have progressed at all in the last four years in my opinion.
