Maybe he shouldn't be a winger?
Just doesn't have any attributes that a winger should have.....

Personally think he is living off of last seasons glories. People keep saying 'he has an excellent corss/delivery' but how many times has he actually contributed to/scored goals this season compared to our other wide players?
Thought he was good last season but has gone backwards this campaign. Always diving when standing up/battling may put us in a better position, can't beat a player and this season rarely provides assists.
The comment earlier in the thread about 'how can a player that can score a wonder goal like last season be crap' needs to watch Goal Rush on channel 5. Plenty of 30 yard screamers every week in League Two but its performing regularly that makes a player Championship level and I'm afraid Mr Skalak has not done that.

Because they were subbed and we improved and scored?

Personally I think he will suit the prem much more than the championship

No, the record attendance was higher, but you are right, it is a Brighton supporters' record. Blackburn brought 689, so all the rest were home fans.

Like crossing a ball?

Of course, the manager who has guided us to the brink of promotion quite clearly doesn't have clue what he's doing! Skalak is clearly in the team to do a job, one that he must be doing to the managers liking,
Give it a rest and get behind the team rather than sniping from the sidelines.

Even the bloke in the NW Corner in full Liverpool kit
He paid his money. I'm sure Barber won't care what he wears.
Skalak is second in the assists table with Knockaert on 8, & Skalak on 5.

Probably the most sensible comment on this thread so far. Team Skalak!
All of this.
Skalak had one perhaps two opportunities yesterday to do something meaningful, he went down very easily on one of those occasions, but his tracking back and workrate were excellent.
I felt the bigger problem was that our midfield were too slow getting the ball out to both him and Knockaert, and consequently when they finally did the space he had was limited.
It's not his game to beat people with pace or skill, he just needs a glimpse of daylight to cross the ball and he does put in a good ball, certainly more consistently than Murphy and arguably as good as the others.

Knowing the OP's previous posts it surprises not one bit that he singles out an individual for a public stoning!

Skalak had an off day. His lack of strength and pace made it easy for his well drilled Blackburn opponents.
CH recognised this with his relatively early substitution.

Yay, looks like we've got ourselves another NSC LYNCH MOB.

Isn't this more like: a couple of people criticising him, then the 'no one should ever slag off an Albion player' lynch mob pile in?

You know it's controversial and you are right because you are wrong! Actually, he was really getting in to his stride when he was subbed off, but CH had to make changes. Playing with 10 plus Akpom was dragging them down and I don't think we'll see Chuba start again.
It's the mentality of watching us win, hearing Huddersfield lose in the 96th minute to go 9 points ahead with 7 games left and then thinking "instead of enjoying myself I'll start laying into a couple of players on NSC" that baffles me.
This is set to be a memorable season, enjoy it, party, celebrate, sing loudly, get pissed, dance like a loon, hug complete strangers and make the most of it.
Next season in all probability we will lose far more games, be scrapping for relegation, get our arses whipped a few times, so make the most of what we've got now.
The thread title isn't criticism, it says 'Skalak Out'.
Well keep an eye on the thread Mr Pres because I would hate to see anyone start criticising the OP
