The Deck (11 Viewers)

I don't necessarily disagree but it did take a number of those players a bit of time to get going and let's face it Gyok has gone on to do ways more than pretty much anyone would have imagined. What I'm trying to say is I'm not sure we are comparing apples with apples just yet.

I hear you but I’m talking about our squad right now verses the rest of the league. They were talking like we had some of the best players in the league I don’t even think we have many players that even make it into other teams starting XI

Bollocks

One thing I 100% agree with Doug on is that we have the quality to be challenging the top 6. Maybe an addition or two needed in Jan but we have a lot of talent at our disposal.

No leaders. That’s why these players are so brittle.

So brittle that they came back from 2-0 down away at the leaders on Saturday, did the same against Luton a few weeks ago too?

We’ll just overlook the steaming turds they’ve served up then.

 

[Domo]

Was it Pressley when it was "The Group" ?

yeah, and he always said they "were a credit to the club" regardless of the result.

 

[SBTasha]

I suppose the safe standing will be out next year and in with the deck chairs! Oh I can’t wait to hear the first “deck” chant .

I just wouldn't attribute our poor results to lack of leadership

 

[Macca1987]

What would you attribute it to then cam

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

My point is there isn’t just one factor in the poor results. Yes some coaching issues, yes a lack of leadership, yes some mistakes by MR.

 

[skybluecam]

What would you attribute it to then cam

Our inability to control games against weaker sides, over reliance on individual brilliance in attacking areas and struggling to break down teams that sit in.

Plus more than our fair share of bad luck and costly individual errors.

I thought 'they' avoided using the word deck towards the end of the session after several people had slightly mocked it.
What a stupid word to use, I've certainly never heard it said before by other managers or coaches when being interviewed but then my football knowledge is gash as has been pointed out to me recently.

Which of our players would walk into a top 6 side?

Loads of them?

Go on..

 

[skybluecam]

Go on..

Wright, Sheaf, MVE easily

Saka when he's back to his pre-injury best

Simms and Binks in the right system

Eccles as a squad player at least

Yep easily these.

Asante was a top scorer for a top 6 side last season. Bassette eventually will be at that level. Torp too.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Was it Pressley when it was "The Group" ?

If he's responsible for the now-ubiquitous use of Group rather than squad and team, i'm gonna hunt him down and hurt him bad!!!

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Didn't he say that if there's a player who's older with no resale value that will bind everything together then it's not an issue?

January will be telling

I think Liam Kelly was in that mould, tbf.

 

[mmttww]

Which of our players would walk into a top 6 side?

MVE
Wright

and based on form last season

Sheaf
Simms

 

[Johhny Blue]

 

[stevefloyd]

Lampard...he tries hard
but he's as crap as Rooney
Doug King picks the team
and he's a fuckin loony

When you have provided a deck containing CBs like Kitching for 4.5m and Wingers like EMC for 4.5m it's easy to see why Austin might well been relieved to see Mark carry the can.

Almost as if it was a bit too easy last night to win over the simpletons.

Eccles does quite easily too

Not sure he'd 'walk in' to a top six side yet.

Really?
Hasn't been a better player for us all season
@Saddlebrains said he'd been approached by a PL team this summer

He needs a rubber band for the deck, unless the new head coach uses the box

Go on then..I'll start the cringefest........To the tune of "who the deckin hell are you"

Our Decks the best for many years, our Decks the best for many years.

 

[mmttww]

Really?

I don't disagree that he's been good this season, but that wasn't the question. I don't think he walks into a starting XI for a top six side. If he keeps performing at this level for 6 months I'd probably change my answer.

I’d be looking at a few HR. Courses for King. Very disrespectful word to use for employees .
just inappropriate.

I await the sofa competition, a la Wasps!
