So who was the best home grown centre half tonight?

Elphick was pretty solid, Dunk played alright as well (apart from the penalty).

Another pointless thread, when those 2 were with us we had 3 if not 4 better centre halfs ahead of them.

Neither Cook or Elphick would be regulars in our side over Dunk and Greer.
Maybe not, but based on needing four central defenders in the squad, Greer, Dunk, Elphick and Cook would be an awesome foursome!

The fact that both are looking like top 6 center halves and we're lucky to be out of relegation says it all tbqh.
O my, u really don't have a clue
I didn't think elphick was up to much at all when he was with us.....he has definitely improved a great deal and I would love to see him playing in front of greer week in week out

Now I'm convinced this is a spoof account. If you genuinely believe that Dunk wasn't our best signing this season (by giving him a 4 year deal) then you really haven't a clue. Plenty of people saw the wisdom in that new deal the minute he signed it, not just in retrospect of what he's done so far this season.
Exactly these ^. Both good players, and I wish them every success, but it was the right decision for both players and the club for them to go when they did.

I said it at the time we should have kept cook and elphick both were improving and we let them go cos someone didn't find them continental enough.

Abort, retry, fail
Continental enough? Do you mean that they didn't have a 'funny' name or that they couldn't pass the ball?

So you think the players themselves were happy to stay and warm the bench? They have a say in matters as well.
It's a two way thing isn't it, no point keeping players against their will. Yes, both players loved Brighton, but they've also got a career to think about. Cook in particular I know for a fact got a very good deal, too good to turn down really. Tommy was desperate for first team football again, having been out for a long time due to injury. Both moves made perfect sense.
Time to move on.

Both Elphick and Cook are old fashioned stopper centre backs, win the ball and then a big kick forward neither has the ball skill of either Dunk or Greer to play the ball from the back.
