Hopefully Robins doesn't bring Godden on. He has had one day's training. It would be stupid to risk it as he has nothing to prove. Same could be said of Eccles.

One of Godden’s biggest fans, but I’m with this.

Agreed but you're allowed some leeway when you're an 18 goal striker at this level.

Yeah he's head and shoulders above our other strikers - arguably the best since we came down from the PL.

 

[larry_david]

It was mostly down to Kelly - not sure how you can try and blame CoH.

Where's the o hare blame there pal?

 

[Liquid Gold]

I didn't see the goal as I only just got back to the UK but I've decided Allen has a shitty bumfluff beard today so the goal was his fault.

 

[mark82]

Still clinging on to top half by the skin of our teeth at the moment.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Absolutely. We were on the attack and Kane was where he should have been, we lost the ball and got hit on the counter. If you're going to be critical, Hyam has played the ball forward wide to Kane, then continued his run into the box leaving the right centre back position with a big gaping hole which is where the attacked comes from. Also Kelly and Allen as the DCM should be plugging that.

It was a poor ball inside from Kane I thought, just felt it was obvious what was going to happen but then again it was the edge of the opposition box. Who actually tracked back?

I think it would be him or King but King was a disgraceful signing so Vik wins it.

 

[Frostie]

It came from hyam nicking the ball off their striker, a good interception, out to kane who played it back to o hare who tried to Meg their defender. All of a sudden they are 50 yards of space. I have no idea where Kelly or Allen were, kane was out of position from the attacking move. Ultimately we had 3 players to marked their striker and no one ran out to their AM

Allen goes out to fill the gap left by Kane/Hyam & close down the crosser, no idea where Kelly was.
A lot of good fortune for them too, JCS slips as he attempts to close it down & it's only nestled perfectly in the corner as a result of a mishit shot.

While I definitely agree we need upgrades at CB, it always feels like it’s the wasteful attacking play has been the bigger issue this season.

Not in the best of seats, what are they complaining at?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Familiar from their forum?

1-1, is it fair?

No, 1-5 would be fair

Went out for a corner and wasn't given

Anyone have a decent stream? The one posted earlier keeps freezing.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I really don't like Gavin Ward. Looks like if Claire Balding was a little boy.

listening on IFollow and watching goals etc on Sky Sports

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Decent cross

 

[larry_david]

Ben Wilson does not instil calmness does he

i will pm you

He's an accident waiting to happen, he seems to have lapses in concentration.

 

[cc84cov]

Kane with another 2 shit crosses

 

[Liquid Gold]

He's been reasonable when called upon but he isn't to the standard and I don't get the calls for him over Moore.

 

[coop]

Correct Moore is the number 1 by a mile.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He has been a lower league journeyman up until last season. If he has actually been a Championship keeper in disguise all along he deserves an Oscar

He’s cheap so is ok as a number two for now

 

[larry_david]

23k attendance 'but they'll be counting the season ticket holders who haven't turned up'...is that a thing?

Yeah because that seat is sold

Best to think of attendance as tickets officially sold rather than bodies in the ground

Jodi for Shipley ASAP please

The biggest culprit statistically by a mile is Gyokeres and so there’s your problem

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

i will pm you

And me if you’d be so kind

 

[cc84cov]

The biggest culprit statistically by a mile is Gyokeres and so there’s your problem

And your mate O’Hare at least Gyo has hit good numbers

 

[Grendel]

And your mate O’Hare

No Gyokeres has had more shots than any player by a mile

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I think the bigger problem arises before a shot is even fired

How ?
