[Albion] Undav

[warmleyseagull]

Perhaps, but on todays showing we looked more likely to score with Undav than Ferguson

BS. If we did, it was FA to do with Undav. Remember he was at least 50% at fault for their goal. He is shithouse.

ok

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Some harsh comments on here.
At five million quid Undav was always going to be a punt.
He is what he is.

The price we paid is irrelevant.

He cost us more than Mitoma, Ferguson, Veltman, Lallana and Welbeck combined.

 

[West Upper Seagull]

Undav just doesn’t look good enough and is very lazy in my opinion. Struggling to see what RDZ sees in him. Would have much preferred to see Sarmiento come on up front if Ferguson was tiring

 

[DJ NOBO]

Just because we’ve picked up a few bargains on the way doesn’t mean £5m is anything other than loose change in the striker market.
At the risk of criticising our excellent recruitment team (and reigniting a done to death NSC debate), we should have invested more heavily in a striker last Summer.
Complaining about Undav is like buying a pie for £2.50 at Oakwell and being disappointed it’s not Michelin star quality.

And wages or don’t they count, with the exception of Ferguson and possibly Mitoma, I reckon those others are on significantly more than Undav, due to their experience and ability.

If Undav scores we are on the pitch

 

[Albion 4ever]

Veltman was more at fault for the goal than anyone else. Diving in on the halfway line when we were caught in a transition was a rash decision.

It's ridiculous that we put everything on the shoulders of an 18 year old or have Undav as our striker options. Welbeck is always a gamble especially this time of year.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Undav is the new Chris O’Grady.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

How crap has he got to be before you shift camps? He makes so many basic mistakes that I am sure he will never make it.

I suppose it's that i've seen a lot of Brighton players get off to ropey starts, for various reasons then come good. He still hasn't actually played that much for us and taken a couple of goals well in the cup.

I'm not writing him off yet. And as we're horrendously short up front as usual, we'll get the chance to see him more I suspect

We like selling buying not so much.

 

[AstroSloth]

Wasn’t it two headers in the 6 yard box and a shot? All near us in the NS.

A header from a shot that bounced to him and had no power so he had to try and generate all the power and a cross that came in at an awkward angle he nearly scored.

 

[Is it PotG?]

I maintain my earlier stance, on all evidence so far he might well struggle at this level.

Obvs we are doing very very well with the current line up but it makes you wonder where we’d be with a stronger forward line

 

[Mustafa II]

I for one see some potential in Undav.

Reckon he is/will be a decent Premier League striker. Needs more games under his belt.

Is he the answer? Probably not. Could he be a useful squad player? I reckon so.

 

[LamieRobertson]

One header in the six yard box where although difficult I think he should have done better…the second wasn’t in the six yarder and personally I thought it was a good effort ….Dunks effort I think was the easiest of the lot but wide

 

[sagaman]

I felt he did okay, was very close with a header which was the only decent cross he received. Warren Aspinall thought he received no service.

Links well and is a squad player. Like many, needs more time on the pitch

 

[Jim in the West]

I suspect the decision may have been made before the game just to give Evan an hour or so today. As you say he has been injured and perhaps was a bit short of match practice.

Let's face it Undav needs game time as well, it gave the boss the chance to see what he was capable of too.

I noticed a few occasions in the second half that Ferguson looked knackered....eg: just before he went off he was trying to close down their central defenders as they played the ball out from the back. They beat his press, and Ferguson blew his cheeks out like I do after running for the bus! It was obviously right to make the substitution, but maybe in retrospect Sarmiento or Enciso might have been a better option.

If Ferguson stayed on , and Undav played just off Ferguson he might off been more effective ,
I thought March was quiet in the second half and would have preferred him to go off than Ferguson
