We didn’t.

We spent more on his partner who has done much less but is immune to criticism.

Both have been shocking yet you said Sheaf was the best player on the pitch

O'Hare slapped in the face there. Naughty.

O'Hare taking a slap to the face

 

[fernandopartridge]

Poor from Gyo giving the ball away, Hyam and Maatsen not even in the picture for the break, Dabo kicking the pitch and falling over and somehow Sheaf is getting blamed?! Confirmation Bias 1 Coventry City 0

Yes, Gyo is too inoffensive, what sort of striker doesn't try and drive into the box in that situation?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Very poor first half. Shown nothing to suggest we can get back into this game.

Don’t think it would require much but DaCosta in particular has been terrible

 

[Tommo1993]

Thought Hamer was playing?

Game crying out for flair and creativity, hurry up Bright.

 

[Garryb80]

What about the yellow he got a minute before that, or him losing the ball just in front of the defence and having to slice their player down to stop counter

That yellow caused by dacosta being out of position and him having to cover

 

[covboy9]

Very poor half goal was coming we look slow and no goal threat at all, passing been terrible

and a punch in the face on the whistle lol

 

[Briles]

Waghorn and O'Hare not disgraced, rest look off the pace

 

[fernandopartridge]

You were saying he was having a great game Grendel, what’s gone wrong last 20. He cost us the goal.

He didn't you clown

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Never really understood decisions like leaving Rose on the bench if he's not fit for 90. Play him for the first 60 then and if we *have* to play Dacosta bring him on for the last 30 minutes when the space has opened up and the game isn't as tight. Who knows, maybe your strongest 11 will be 3-0 up by then and the consequences will be less.

We did see last season Rose was a liability when he wasn't up to speed. I'd hang on starting him until he was fully fit - get his confidence right and he looks the part.

Could also argue, tbf, that Rose in last 30 bringing the ball out of defence could make space for Walker to exploit, when he inevitably comes on.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We’ve taken a player out of the midfield to play two up front and there’s less space

Disappointed with gyokeres for that half. Dabo defending manfully but he’s not a cb and is wasted there

Would be surprised if rose wasn’t on second half for dacosta. Also you’d think Tyler will be on for gyokeres if he doesn’t perk up pretty quick

Moore catching a bonus

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

Not a great first half. Poor game , both sides look sloppy. Sheaf and hamer have looked a bit poor , it’s as if we’re playing with no midfield

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Totally fluked the save to be fair.

Huh?

 

[Skybluedownunder]

I really cannot believe we spent £1m on Gyokeres

I said this when we were after him and people seemed to think we would make a profit on him LOLLL

He was first 20-25. He’s been shit since then but so have the rest of them.

The obsession means only sheaf can be criticised when the guy who plays next to him, and has been much worse, gets away with it though.

 

[Il Pirata]

Hamer couldn't pass a Gambian driving test.

 

[Marty]

Gyorkeres is even worse in the flesh.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Don't know who I'd think has done well. Moore, I guess, and Waghorne's looked average!

 

[Pezza]

Ben Sheaf nowhere near good enough, clearly we were obligated to buy him and we need to try get him into the team but... wow, worst player we have had at this level. What does he offer? slow.. only goes sideways, gives it away as much as he keeps it, can't tackle..

We are 3-4 players short and we will have a terrible season unless we improve the quality.

 

[nicksig]

Really poor half. Da Costa wasteful and we’re struggling to get a grip on midfield. Hard to see where a spark is going to come from

 

[Alkhen]

Need a bollocking at halftime but no drama still in this. Moore looks good. We'll get a centre back or two in. We'll be ok

He really isn’t the worst player - there’s been worse than him today

 

[oakey]

Apart from one clanger Fadz has been holding the team together

 

[covboy9]

We’ll be better 2nd half players trying too hard robins will calm them down

Fans always want extra strikers up top
But the price is getting outnumbered in the middle

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

I hope I’m proved wrong but really concerned about our lack of cover at Left wing back.

That Chelsea kid looks like a deer caught in headlights. Woefully out of position defensively, will never win a header and seems to be operating as a winger not a wing back!

Who the fuck will play there if he’s injured or like today he’s playing crap!

I'll stick him on the adequate list!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Still need 4 minimum for this squad to be competitive. Bar rose this is our best possible team and it doesn’t look good enough.

 

[Paxman II]

Much as expected after seeing what we did in pre-season. Clearly missing some influential players. Sheaf good on the ball but has so many mistakes in his game and has zero pace which led to the goal and his yellow card. Rose should be on, Dabo to wing back and get DeCosta off. Walker must also get on and Hamer has to drive with the ball more. O'Hare doing his thing but has no support.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

If that’s us trying too hard don’t think I’d like to see us not trying!

 

[fernandopartridge]

Rose for Dacosta and Walker for Gyo please

 

[Pezza]

In my opinion he is... others are off it, Sheaf isn\t even off it, he just really isn't very good.

 

[TomRad85]

Clearly not getting a centre back over the line before this game has already cost us. Pretty shocking all over tbh, Moore is defo an upgrade on Wilson though so there is that.

Difference is in Brennan Johnson they have a player with genuine quality. He won't be there long.
