Joe Gatting is not good enough

[the right footed denilson]

If you think Joe Gatting is the solution, then you haven't understood the problem. Fact.

He scored. we won. FACT

 

[army ali]

He is our form striker.

Keep going Gatts, keep the faith.

 

[Yorkie]

He's doing more in his first senior season than other youth team strikers did.

Wasn't last season his first senior season?

 

[Citrus in Sheffield]

Robinson was brilliant today, and looked much livelier than Gatting. But you can't fault a striker who's scoring goals regularly.

 

[army ali]

Not really.

In and out of the team, warming bench, reserves etc.

No consistent place for him.

This is is first real season for us.

Things do look promising too, Revell, Jake, Tiny, Joe. The boys are doing good!

 

[NS Herald]

Gatting is Brighton through and through. When we have a new 'super' striker let's celebrate at the time. For now let's give him our support and congratulate him on a winning goal

Robinson is naturally more lively than Gats. Gats will never be the best outfield player in the world, but he WILL score goals given the right service. A bit a ridiculous comparison, but he reminds a lot of Ian Rush. Offers very little outside the box, but scored for fun.

KEEP GOING GATS! (and don't let some of the wankers on here drag you down)

Joe Gatting will be a fine player for us hes only 18 give him and the rest a chance

people moan about Gattings movement & pace but that doesn't matter if you have got the knack of being in the right place at the right time , Gatting seems to be acquiring that knack .

AGREED.
Teddy Sheringham never had any pace when he was young, and has even less now, but has always had the tactical nous and speed of mind to more than make up for it.
Speed isn't everything.

I'm just pleased Joe's goal won us the game because his first 2 league goals both got lost in defeats, He's a good young striker who I believe will go onto have a good future in the game and I just wish fans would get behind the lad instead of looking for his faults all the time.

well said, i love gatting personally

For those of you that have only seen Gatting at home games ....

Today he was a key reason why we won, defended deep when needed to, held the ball up well, and took his goal very well.

Got a deserved ovation when he went off

Give him a chance at home games, before deciding he is useless, coz he ain't by a long way - needs time and support, the more of those he gets, the more his confidence will increase

 

[El Presidente]

Today's team contained FIVE members of last season's youth team.

They are going to make mistakes, they are going to disappear at times, they are going to frustrate on occasions, because we want to see a winning team every week.

Not all of them are going to have a long career as professionals..........BUT as fans, surely we have to give them 100% support, they are learning their trade, so a little bit of commonsence and tolerance on our part is required.

I make it SIX, if you include Robinson who was going to waste before re-emerging this season

Lynch
Rents
Fraser
Cox
Gatting
Robinson

All will get better in time

The best bit is they all naturally know how the others play and support each other a lot in the process

Together with El-Abd and Hammond it ain't a bad youth set up we have now!

If the board could just add 2 or 3 experienced players to complement the currant squad we could become a very good team.

Wish him the best, but he's still shit.

Silly Rich.

 

[Biscuit]

Yeh I just don't think he's going anywhere. He's only playing because we have a pretty poor/injured strike force. He wouldn't get into any other team in the league I don't think.
