[Albion] Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion **** Official Match Day Thread ****

[Thunder Bolt]

Ooopsss good job Stockdale was on the ball.

 

[BensGrandad]

Any news on why no Baldock

 

[Gully Forever]

Overrated by whom? All I see on here is abuse for him.

For what it's worth, he's a 20 year old. He's not the finished product.

It's also worth noting the role he's been asked to play - both last year by Oscar and this year by Sami. They want him to stay deeper and cover the defence. He's scored goals when played further forward...

And once more - he's only 20!

ONLY 20!. Stevie Gerrard was capt of Liverpool at 20 AND played for England!..
What's so great about JFC

Wtf is the boot it up front to no one tactic? ?

It's called Up and over lower league football!.

 

[BensGrandad]

Stockdale appears to be very busy but dealing with everything well.

I hope he's looking forward to another 30 shots on target!.

If JFC was as good as Gerrard he won't be playing for the Albion. Horses for courses!...

Nothing but he's no way near as bad as people make him out to be. He's not England's next Gerrard but he's young, inexperienced and being played out of his favoured position.

This is what I'm getting at!. He won't be good enough!. sick of better players being dropped for this guy!.

So he's not in midfield then?

There's none so blind as those who don't want to see.

We're woeful and they're all over us at the moment. However, in recent years we seem to have been able to pull off smash and grabs raids on them from a similar game scenario, hopefully we can do it again.

Don't forget those with rose tinted Specs, Who see what they want to see!

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

So he's not in midfield then?

He's being played as a holding midfielder. A completely different role than his favoured no.10 attacking midfielder playing just behind the striker(s).

I really don't get your point, JFC is a good Championship player, he is not Premier quality yet but give him time.
If you want Premier my advice would be to watch another team.

 

[glasfryn]

he has played for England at many levels
they can't all be wrong
as people say he is only 20

 

[Bladders]

He's being played as a holding midfielder. A completely different role than his favoured no.10 attacking midfielder playing just behind the striker(s).

What actually is it he's being asked to do that's alien to him? Surely if he was 10 yards further forward he'd still have to pass, run and tackle.

 

[Kosmonaut]

Come on lads!!!

crofts is not a right back
