Shamir Fenelon on the programme tonight...

[Chris_Highwind]

You'd think they'd at least get him to hold the violin and bow properly?!

 

[Captain Sensible]

Why he should be picked before CMS and Buckley is beyond me. The game totally passed him by on Saturday. Maybe he will become a good player but you normally bring players on slowly by sub appearances at first like March. Then later depending on performances, get a start. I agree with him starting tonight but away at Birmingham there is no way CMS or Buckley should be behind him.

 

[Napper]

Fenelon won't be a championship striker IMO .

 

[Oscar]

And there was us thinking it was Barber on the fiddle…

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Why did he change his name please, anyone!?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

We can't judge him on one game, although he did look lightweight against a big Wednesday defence. He should play some part tonight.

club decision. The term GoodWin will not be used in reference to Brighton or any player this year.

I totally agree.

Bet he has been rinsed at training by the rest of the team for that cover

A Torquay supporting friend of mine has the view that if he were a Championship standard striker he would have scored goals which would have kept them in the League last season. Fenelon did not and the friend was very surprised he was starting for us.

In my view the line up and formation was unusual given the quality of players available, which to my mind was management decision making which did not work. Hopefully future decisions will be more productive but I do fear a relegation battle this year.

You can't expect a player, a young one at that, to single handedly save a team from relegation. Fenelon was also used a wide player more often than not (or at least it looked that way on the FL show). He's probably not up to championship standard but it sounds like your friend expected miracles.

He had a great pre-season and for me stood out together with Charlie Harrison. In all the games I saw he was better than CMS & Buckley so was not surprised Sami gave him a start.

Looked pretty poor against Southampton as well.

Agree.

Charlie Harris BTW

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Second string, at best.

NSC at its absolute finest. Writing off a youngster after he has made ONE appearance for the first-team.

Marvelous scenes.

Did you bother actually reading my post? I was actually defending him and merely pointing out that after only half a season of competitive football at a league two side, one in a relagation fight too, chances are he isn't there yet. I'm more than happy to give him a chance but I'm just being realistic without being damning of his ability and potential.

I see what you done there


think it passed over a few heads though
nevertheless very good

Yep a total fail from the marketing team/photographer, I can't even think of how it leads to a relevant story, unless he actually played the violin, which he clearly doesn’t, or he the subliminal message is that he is playing second fiddle.

It looks like an April Fools prank being played on him and the team who instigated this, let alone approved it, deserve a bollocking.

Nobody is doing that, so far as I can see. He's a young lad learning his trade. He should be given time and space via whatever they're calling the reserves nowadays to develop his craft, not thrown in at the deep end in the second tier of the English game. OK, in a seriously desperate Withdean season you might have to do that to the young players, but with our much-touted Premier League Ready status, you'd expect the club to offer the player a much greater Duty Of Care. Let alone ask him to pose on the front cover of the match day programme with a violin FFS for the sake of a puerile headline. It's all got a bit stupid IMHO, needs somebody now to have any overall vision. club just seems to be drifting towards the idiotic.
