[Terry Gibson's perm]

We are carrying Godden and the lack of centre backs looks severe now if Rose is injured.

Somebody teach Dabo how to clear a ball.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Godden and Gyokeres…doesn’t work. Play with two attacking midfielders instead who can track opposition full backs. Fed up of seeing Godden chasing out wide.

I’m fed up of seeing the ball given away so needlessly. I’m fed up of conceding laughable goals every week. Fed up of the opposition fans having a jolly old time at our expense.

Robins should resign from this farce while he has some stock left

 

[Matt smith]

Tough question this

if we lose this and Saturday

would you sack him???

 

[Nick]

Now we’ve got three for first team centre halves for three positions for probably a few games now. So none of them can get subbed, suspended or injured. And two of them are loans. Great.

As well as Gyok, O’Hare and Hamer, I’m doubting Robins will be here next year. What more can he do? You can’t keep buying players and turning them into ones worth several times what you paid for them only to have the rug pulled from under your feet by the owners. He’ll probably feel he’s hit the ceiling of what can be achieved.

We only sold Hyam...

 

[TomRad85]

Haven't read the whole thread but not seen anyone mention Fadz, he's been abject.
Get Godden off as well.

The whole defence is embarrassingly poor, only one who's not been horrendous at the start of the season is Bidwell. You know the one all our fans call shit

Get Palmer and Walker on for Allen and Godden.

Agree on the swap for Allen, I’d leave Godden a bit longer. He’s been very quiet though.

No. He should resign unless there is a cast iron assurance that the pricks in charge want out.

Irrelevant... the owners will not want to pay compo & he is happy to jump through their shrinking hoops.

Won’t be sacked

He's not been backed. Blame for me lies above Robins.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Defensively very poor. Rabbits in headlights every Luton attack. Dabo just not the same player, fadz past his best, panzo and Doyle have lots to learn. Bidwell ok so far.
Sheaf one great ball but him, Allen and Hamer need to move the ball more quickly…that’s where Vik can do damage if Luton or set.
Vik missed 2 gilt edged chances before he scored. Get him running towards goal and he is a threat.
Not out of this game yet but same old problems at back and missing good chances makes it so difficult to win games

I'm off to try and polish my half-time turd. Will be good to know how Dennis Lawrence feels trying to get this defence to keep a clean sheet.

 

[stevefloyd]

If (big if) we can keep a clean sheet in the 2nd half, we ought to get the chance for some sort of a result. OK attack, poor defence. Godden fairly anonymous, but knows where the net is (tempted to let Tavares have a run out though) Keep giving the ball to Gyo (and get O'Hare back asap)

Only 1 problem with your masterplan Tavares isn't in the squad

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Won’t be sacked

Same reason Rodgers won’t be sacked by Lesta

 

[junglej13]

Like groundhog day. Dabo unable to concentrate, Rose off injured, Allen anonymous in the attacking midfield role. I'd back all three of these to happen in any game they start.

 

[Chip Batch]

We only sold Hyam...

And we’ve lost an important player and now have no cover at all. That’s the point

 

[larry_david]

Hamer is a joke - if we really turned £5 million down we literally have bought this in ourselves

When you watch it back, watch their 2nd goal. Hamer has the ball 30 yards from their goal, skips past a man then passes it 5 yards straight to their bloke. Clive laughed it off as an awful mistake, 5 seconds later it's in the net.

 

[ptr]

No point sacking him. Who else is around that’s better? And what can they really do with this squad?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Haha - assumed he was on the bench!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The people who’ve all put in the time and money to go down to Luton deserve so much better.

5-0 last season. People were predicting similar, and we should be level.

 

[EalingSB]

Heartbreaking how far we’ve come to just see it unravel like this

Just talking about this on WhatsApp - unbelievable really in the space of five weeks or so. So incredibly disappointing and dispiriting.

 

[Grendel]

And? Doesn't mean he's good enough now.

So you wouldn’t have him in this squad then?

 

[mmttww]

Don't think Godden has been as bad as some have said. Some good link up play. Put someone behind him that can play fwd passes and with how sh*t their defence looks, it's worth leaving him on. Just get Allen off. He's worked hard but just not up to it at 10. Sheaf's having a good game. Hamer hasn't been booked. It could be worse!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

@Briles Not a criticism of Robins more what he should do for his own sake-he’s being stitched up

 

[Johnnythespider]

Allen Allen Allen. All I’m seeing.

Wtf has Hamer done to stay on the pitch?

Not get a red card ?

 

[mark82]

Bit of a crutch argument is the who else argument. There are other managers that could do a good job. He's not the only manager in the world who is capable. We shouldn't change manager though.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

True

 

[Dickie]

Standby for early Luton goal in the second minute of the second half

Spot on analysis imo.

 

[Briles]

Really not a bad half tbf. I'm not as arsed if we lose and play well, I think we have, away, at a team who tonked us 5-0 and are miles ahead fitness and game sharpness wise. Yes we lack sharpness but it is what it is. We haven't been battered

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

5-0 last season. People were predicting similar, and we should be level.

Yet we’re not and we can all see why. We’ll be going into October on a single point

 

[PVA]

On the bench, but not starting.

He was offered up for sale and only had interest from a League One team. He's not good enough at this level.

Dabo is having a stinker tonight but we were far better with him in the team than Kane last year.

 

[larry_david]

God their second goal as well. Fadz let's it bounce...ffs that is shocking
