I disagree

He makes too many mistakes, Elphick and Hawkins may not have as much pace or as good distribution but their defending is better.

And £500,000 would be a reasonable sum for Lynch

Agreed.

To be honest all 3 are very good players. It was always going to be difficult to keep all 3 happy.

Hawkins is apparently a major doubt for Orient so I expect Joel will get a chance to show Adams what he can do.

I'm really enjoying the season so far, but when I hear that The Hawk or McLeod might be injured and missing a game or Murray gets a ban, I get nervous. I still feel our back-up on the bench is a bit thin.

I'm not worried about cover at the back, it's the front 4 that worries me. If Forster or Murray get injuries or MaCleod and Cox are crocked we've got Hart, Robinson and Loft as back up. That doesn't fill me with confidence.

I agree. It seems that Jake is drifting out of contention with MA and it's hard to see how he would get regular football in a first team that are looking stronger than last year.

Firstly this comes back to the fact you really should not be watching the game when at work.

Secondly Lynch is the most talented of the centre backs, however at present he does make the odd error, as does Elphick. What Lynch offers is pace and at any level that is an asset. To sell him now would be silly. Now come the next transfer window, if by some miracle Hinsh is fit an Lynch is still out of the side, then maybe it is time to listen to offers.

It would appear from his posts that Steward 433 is getting a better view of the matches whilst working than some who have paid just to watch the game, as their posts would appear that they have been watching a different game to most of us.

From the BBC today:
Brighton have confirmed they have turned down a transfer request from centre-back Joel Lynch.

Colin Hawkins and Tommy Elphick have been preferred so far this season at centre half for the Seagulls.

Lynch, 20, is a product of the club's youth system and made his debut at Southampton at the age of 18.

He is closing in on his 100th appearance for the club and his contract at Brighton runs out at the end of next season.

The reason i feel that micky adams is keeping lynch out of the side is that he come across to me not tough enough . I personally think hawkins has been brilliant for us so far as he is so strong and determined.

As for lynch leaving let him leave if he is not willing to fight for his place in the side and for the amount we will get you must be joking if you think alot. :angry:

Let's be frank, the recent history of players leaving us thinking that the grass is greener hasn't been great.

By and large, the managers of the club at the time have got it right when they have let players go, either for money or released.

Isnt it a bit of a worry that a professional footballer is throwing a hissy fit after not getting picked for the first 4 games of the season??

How do you know that he is throwing a hissy fit? Maybe he just fancies the opportunity to play at a higher level.
