Garbage........thread.

I think [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION] probably meant the comment, as rather tongue in cheek, more frustrated that Locadia didn't get a chance today.
IMO I think, we'll all be glad when we're absolutely safe
It would not surprise me if Hughton started Locadia against United. He could have a burst of xx xx minutes with either or both Murray and Ulloa to come on if he did or did not play well. Would not be surprised if Solly started ahead of Izzy.
Given how many people are on the call in on radio sussex questioning why he hasn't been used, it didn't seem surprising to see a thread like this. I was going to look at the appearances record of Izquierdo v Locadia to support stat starting this thread, but found that contrary to what I thought, it's actually quite similar. Over his first three months, Izquierdo made 7 appearances, over his first three, Locardia has made 6, and let's remember he was injured when he joined us so unavailable for a couple of weeks. I know it is frustrating, but it sees to be part of the process of settling them into the team

Why not chap, it's all about rotation, give the ones a chance, when others are not delivering

Funnily enough I thought the OP was serious. I can't see Ulloa staying unless he is free as he did not offer much today. I guess it will depend on who is available.

How very dare you.
I laugh at the rest of it, but likening me to Radio Sussex caller is just too much.

It would surprise me. Hughton for all his admirable managerial qualities is a manager that values safety first/tried and tested over flair and risk. Served us well up to now obviously but interesting to see what happens next season if we have a poor start.
No.
The Dutch league is very poor and the pace of our game catches most out at first.
Needs a pre-season.

Careful, that kind of thinking might get you into all sorts of trouble.
Well yes, I was rather nervous as I pressed the 'post' button

I agree but he may give Locadia the chance to lead the line from the start to see if he can unsettle United with more speed. He seems to like Murray as a hold up player and good at defending if we are leading or to secure a draw. He tried it today to a certain extent with Ulloa starting and Murray (dependable) replacing him late on. If Ulloa failed to make an impact he my try Locadia. It could well be the right game for him to start and try to nick an early goal before its backs to the wall time.

Yeah, you might like a slightly controversial thread Mr Stat Brother, but this one is a bit too daft

There's a way to make a point and ask legitimate questions...and there's a way to start a click-bait style thread for whatever narcissistic reasons.

Jose only had one 'Mickey Mouse' cup game to use for bedding in, half of Locadia's appearances must be FA cup.
Also Jose arrived with the team up against it, after a poor start, whereas Jurgen, even after his injury should have been able to slot into a settled side who were picking up decent points.
Remember we're 2 days away from May and he arrived mid January.and was fit to play a month later.

Still time for Locadia to come good in my view.
Next season I reckon CH will stick with Murray, Locadia, and Baldock in the strikers dept and get rid of Hemed.
I don't think he will go after another striker with his preference of only ever playing 1 up front, as much as I'd like to see a 4th striker brought in. Maybe he will blow the budget on a more creative/attacking midfielder?

That's unfair. His posts are interesting. Yes I 'jawdropped' at first to the start of this thread, but he explained himself

Agree would like to see him play in his favoured position, he played well at Old Trafford (out of preferred position) in the FA Cup QF but we know Hughton values rigidly following the 'everyone is a defender first doctrine' so is willing to keep our most expensive flair signings on the bench. It has worked so far therefore hard to criticise. A fair assessment of Locadia can only be made when he gets a run of games up front.
Suggesting we could sell him is obviously absurd.

Ulloa, like many strikers thrives on service. We have very little creativity in our squad. The wide men are some of the poorest I have seen in crossing a ball or taking corners and the full backs are equally culpable. Gross is the only player we have who is capable of playing in a quality ball and too much rests on his shoulders. We need to search for another quality provider in the summer, as this lack of decent final ball scuppers much good approach play.
