Turner was better. But defensively he’s sound - other end of the pitch his directional heading is atrocious, never seen someone win so many headers and miss so many free chancesBest centre half we've had since Scott Dann.
One of the best since relegation from the prem.
Can anyone remember him losing an ariel battle all season?
If we can sign him end of the season then thats a statement
Definitely think he'd suit playing in the middle more where there is less demand on his footballing ability. Defensively he's been a rock and I feel like he's gone up a level in the last few games.
He's no Rod Mcdonald, Nathan Clarke, Andy Webster, Aaron Martin. Thank God.Best centre half we've had since Scott Dann.

First season in first team football ? He was on loan in Germany all last season lolHe’s an out and out old fashioned centre half keep Rose one side and recruit a left sided for the other our defence will compare with any in our division. Think this is his first full season in first team football too so should get better with experience. Is he out of contract at the end of the season so a free agent or do Brighton have an option ?
Omg you mentioned Satan himself , dare I say the unholy words Andy Webster, that send the cold shiver of hopelessness through my body .He's no Rod Mcdonald, Nathan Clarke, Andy Webster, Aaron Martin. Thank God.
Great raw materials, sometimes rash in decision making, sometimes lacks quality on the ball.
Seems much more comfortable in the middle of 3 or in a 2 CB set up though and those issues are less noticeable when this is the case.
Would be a great free signing.
Yeah - personally felt Turner was a better player, was just as strong, could head the ball , read the game and crucially direct his headersBen Turner?

Fadz?Turner was better. But defensively he’s sound - other end of the pitch his directional heading is atrocious, never seen someone win so many headers and miss so many free chances
Valid point - he’s just as wasteful. I was actually ranting to my brother at the time he scored against QPR about him missing free headersFadz?
If that’s the case doubt we will get him unless we loan him again can’t see us paying out for him. Not too worried there will be othersBrighton have a 1-year option. Wasn’t reported anywhere prior but he said so in his interview with The Athletic.
Liam Walsh situation....If that’s the case we will doubt we will get him unless we loan him again can’t see us paying out for him. Not too worried there will be others
What’s wrong with his crossing , derby away he made the goal with a great crossThis. I never want to see him be allowed to cross the ball ever again. Osti, just tackle and header anything that comes near you.

To be fair, plenty of his headed chances have gone wide or over the bar.That's hugely unfair. The majority of his attacking headers are blocked on the line. Would love to see a compilation, if someone is really bored.
In my eyes he's been really unlucky infront of goal.

I looked at that earlier when we were talking about his chances. He's a CB so not overly surprising that he's not achieving his xG but definitely should have scored by now. Of course he practically did vs Rotherham but was given as an own goal.
One thing that really stands out though is the sheer amount of shots he has had. That's averaging 1 per game & 28 have them have come from set pieces (unsurprisingly). Still think it shows we should definitely be doing more from them especially when we have a weapon like him who wins so many headers.
