Reading vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[indy3050]

Official reason for Stephens' absence is extra training last two days to make up for matches missed. Make of that what you will! #bhafc

I'm going to give Stephens the benefit of the doubt for now, I refuse to believe a random Twitter account until further info comes to light. Telling Stephens to F off from our point of view at this stage is a bit much.

He's not in the squad, fine. Let's focus on the game first.

a very adult post



unlike some others

Far as anyone knows, Stephens has had a bereavement in his family or is ill.
Not saying that's the case, but "**** off Stephens" is hardly helpful until the facts are known.

Exactly. Let's not go all Wednesday / Forrestieri on this yet. Look how (much more) stupid (than usual) they ended up looking

I hope we are getting a big fee for Stephens as we are weaker without him. Honestly expected him to leave 2/3 weeks ago but after the Forest sub appearance and the start against Rotherham presumed we were taking a gamble on promotion and keeping him. If the fee goes toward a quality pacy striker to partner Murray I'm happy with it as I think Norwood is a solid player and Sidwell will be a strong performer. Does put pressure on our recruitment team in the last week and a half of the transfer window though.

If Stephens is off, this.

That has to be the weakest official reason ever.

Disappointing if Stephens has SPAT the dummy out but it will be his loss not ours

 

[LamieRobertson]

They don't comment on rumours.

According to Radio Sussex the club have confirmed extra training ...the response of some posters is stupid to put it politely..no doubt some will continue to put a negative spin on it

Tell Stephens he can play for the under 23s and he can leave for free in the summer. ****ing mess us about with your immature attitude and you can sulk like one for the entire season with the kids.

That's such a crap reason that it makes it more believable.

Absolutely. Surely if that was the case he could have still made the bench

It's a strange one. I guess it's believable IF Hughton wants him absolutely bang on the money for Newcastle, but thats only if you're wearing some heavy duty subscription blue and white tinted specs.

More training, well if that's the case we'd have no bloody substitutes. What a load of shit.

Haven't you got a mountain to fall off?

We'll it's bloody obvious he's thrown a tantrum like Bridcutt did.
