I also thought El Abd had a good game. He doesn't set the world alight or do anything fancy. He always takes the easy pass and he sits in front of the defence, but he is solid and breaks up the game.
I think the defence would have struggled without him last night.

I thought we missed him last night, because Virgs and El-Abd doesn't bloody work in the centre midfield.
If the table were reversed, does anyone think he'd be keen to stay?
In order for the table to be reversed, he'll have already left. He is anonymous, complete shite, and a waste of wages.
I really can't believe he was admired at Falkirk.

I thought El-abd was poor - lost the ball countless times and just got in the way at other times. Not a midfielder and shouldn't play there.

I would keep El-Abd in the centre alongside Thornton or dare i say it Loft.
Let him do the watercarrying and Thornton/Loft create. But him and Virgo in the centre of midfield

He is shit, goodbye, useless and showed last night that we do not need him.

what? because we drew 0-0 with a league two side?
Granted we were good in the second half, but I thought we were good going forward due to the wingers, Forster and Robinson running at them.
El-Abd was good, although he can't pass and Virgo played well second half, but we didn't create much through the CM's, especially first half when the game was pretty awful.

Out of interest (and as many on her know I am a big fan of what I feel he has brought to the team), didn't Thomson JOIN us cos his family weren't happy in Scotland and wanted to move back south? Can a year in Brighton really change someone's mind that much?

El-Abd wasn't the best player last night, but I think he's quite a talented footballer who can definitely do a job there. I liked the stability we had in midfield last night with both Virgo and El-Abd there. Not particularly flash players, but can tackle and pass and do a reasonable job. Maybe we're better off keeping the creative players eg Thornton, Cox, Johnson on the wing?
