here's a question: have we missed Hamer?

Definitely

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Tbf although he's not been great, we would have likely been in a situation where we were starting the likes of Howley and Tavares every week when we had that spate of injuries in Feb.

Not the best decision but certainly not the end of the world as any fee would have been nominal I would expect...

6 figures plus his wages, enough to pursue a temporary upgrade at AM

This wouldn’t be the set of circumstances to judge

 

[Super Graham Withey]

Shipley has already agreed terms with a League One club

It was Robins' decision I believe

Good

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Yes based off 2 games

 

[Frostie]

JCS is class. Obviously injuries are a concern but would still be very interested in keeping him if possible.

I was a bit surprised
Shippers loves the club but needs to be playing at his age

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Clive confuses Hyam for JCS

Easily done

 

[cc84cov]

Todd Kane had blonde highlights

 

[TomRad85]

Happy to play out the 1-1 for top half now. Bottom half would be very disappointing.

He has done for about a month

He will struggle at Shrewsbury in league 1 he was surrounded by good players here carried at times

 

[cc84cov]

Something I imagine Grendel does also

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Miraculous how that hasn’t gone in

 

[Frostie]

How's that not gone in? Unbelievable clearance

Was it 6 figures up front? How much are his wages? And who was available on loan for those figures?

Very easy to say we could replace him, and I'm sure if the above was an option with a better player available Robins would have done it. He's hardly been one for sentiment in his time here.

Enjoying this again from Jodi

At the time Maatsen was expected to be out for longer than he eventually was & Shipley filled in well at LWB. Having been burned a little by the Tyler Walker deal with Godden immediately getting injured I can understand the hesitance.

What exactly? The 5 yard pass?

Shipley was all set to go, hadn’t featured much at all up to that point, has 2 good games and that suddenly means we don’t want to sell. Then he again goes back to being pretty ineffectual and featuring rarely

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I’m sure he doesn’t even watch the game and just says whatever sounds right

 

[Frostie]

Brilliant from JCS again

Looked better at LWB never used there

I knew Kane had highlights Clive I reckon you done them for him

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Hymen letting Stoke break through too easily there

I don't disagree with any of that. And I have said already that it wasn't the best decision but it isn't the worst decision ever made as it has ultimately served a purpose. You are making statements about some imaginary loan, like everybody who works at the club won't have considered all the options.

Oooh matron

 

[SIR ERNIE]

SBA twist and shout. Magnificent

 

[stupot07]

Who was Hyam passing to then????

Well defended by JCS there, just standing up Wright-phillips for them

Didn’t say it was terrible just it didn’t work out for the player or the club

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Looks like we’re going to finish 12th with QPR winning

Meh

Looking at you Given…
