NO Croft, Buckley, Orlandy, conway, Hoskins, Bridcutt and No realistic chance!!!

[tommynockers]

Please be real people, last season we had such a better squad and players available. You have got to give Oscar a Chance! With the players at his disposal joint 7th isn't bad. If next season he has brought players in and we have no success come back and see me!!!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Conway was on loan earlier this season. He wasn't here last season.

 

[Rookie]

Absolutly. Orlandi is a HUGE loss + Crofts drive and ability to grab a goal. Oscar is being asked to achieve the same as last season with a squad that for one reason or the other is nowhere near the quality we had last season

 

[algie]

What has Conway got to to do with this? He had about two good games for us and scored one goal.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Works both ways. Have had Upson all season rather than just after January. Arguably our best player.

 

[Ernest]

Hoskins has hardly played and when he did he was crap, Orlandi has never had a decent run as always injured

 

[ozseagull]

We are not joint 7th. We are 8th.

 

[Rookie]

Hoskins has hardly played and when he did he was crap, Orlandi has never had a decent run as always injured

But led the team in assists last season ...

 

[Stat Brother]

Shouldn't that be Hoskinsy and Bridcutty.

 

[Stat Brother]

But led the team in assists last season ...

Does Spanish Dave still lead the team in assists this year?

If he were, that would pretty much explain the season in a nutshell.

A gifted skillful player with guile and intelligence, who has been consistently poor all season but with flashes of genius, is still our most potent attacking threat.

 

[tommynockers]

Conway was on loan earlier this season. He wasn't here last season.

What does that mean? He is still not with us and was a bloody good player and a massive influence!!!

 

[Machiavelli]

He has been our best player, but I hope you agree that he hasn't been good enough to cover for the loss or absence of Bridcutt, Orlandi, CMS, Crofts, Hoskins and largely Buckley. This stands even if you throw in Ince.

Would have been nowhere near last year!! A good example is Lua Lua, this season somehow seen as our lost god . Last season- bit of a joke sub!!

 

[Eksman]

Shouldn't that be Hoskinsy and Bridcutty.

Don't forget crofty

All you happy clappers really don't understand most peoples grievances with Garcia. It is not that we are not in the playoffs, most would have said that this was doubtful this season and the only reason we are still in with a sniff is that the division is pretty poor this year. The main reason Garcia is getting grief is his style of play is negative and boring.

Yes we have had injuries but does this mean that we should have tactics that the players seem to struggle to understand, that marginalises our biggest asset and goal scorer? Tactics that have turned us into an extremely negative side that if we have 2 shots a game is a bonus? It is not about 7th place is about enjoying watching the team and it's about the players understanding what the coaching staff require of them because at the moment it would appear they do not know or understand Garcia system. Why will this be any different next year and where is the money coming from to bring in all these new players. He has been here 9 months and the performances are going backwards not forwards (a bit like his tactics).

 

[Bruntburger]

If your team lacks quality and clearly can't penetrate the oppositions defence or even midfield, then you have to change formation and tactics to try and take advantage of what you have!

We cannot play one touch football and dance the ball into the oppositions goal because our available players aren't technically good or creative enough.

By now we should of tried a 442 with Solly and Kaz on the wings and two men in the middle and have some attacking intent!

I would completely disagree with the championship being poor this year. Everyone above us being top division sides!! His play is not negative and poor. It's the quality of players that can't perfect his style of play or any style. Hence my comment about last season! We do not have 2 shots a game we have loads and miss them more often than not. Again not Oscars fault. If it's not about 7th place and you just want to enjoy watching it. Go support a team that wins every week and you can enjoy watching!!! To me it's about Brighton and supporting them for the past 25 years. If he can't buy players then we may not be any better next year but as we all know. No manager can polish a terd!!!

Pullis has polished a turd

But if the team lacks quality, changing tactics won't help.

Ulloa missing that penalty last week sums it up and changing tactics wouldn't have helped him score.

Add Bridge and an on form Lopez to that list too!!
