He's far too negative in his outlook and selections. This was summed up for me by his attitude over James Tilley in the last game when he claimed he didn't put him on for longer in case we lost. Hold on - our "senior" strikers couldn't hit a barn-door wider than the one Billy used to miss, so...

Preston Park. I think it was County League Two.

They attack at a speed which our current squad couldn't match if they played on an empty pitch!

I suggest Hughton sits down with him next week and asks him if he's got four or five mates with similar attitudes and abilities who might fancy coming to Brighton. That way we'd have at least half a team of triers!

I'm afraid on recent evidence, it's not just tinkering and a couple of strikers that are needed. I would suggest that we require at least two full-backs (Calderon and Bruno as back-ups), two central defenders (with the fading Greer in reserve) a creative midfielder ( I can't agree that ours is...

He's basically a Division One player who had a couple of half decent seasons in the Championship.

Missed chances and a total inability to get crosses beyond the first defender. Time for a major clearout from front to back.

Time to dump Greer, Bruno and Halford.

As it's his birthday, why don't they ask Gerrard to present the cup?

Initially, I was quite impressed but in recent games he has been caught out a few times and is not looking as solid. If he was consistently good he would not be out on loan. Assuming, optimistically, that Greer will not be a regular next season, I don't think Halford would be a strong enough...

Much as I admire Calderon as a person and for his commitment to the club, he is not a right winger, and nor is Bruno. However, Hughton's insistence on playing two elderly Spanish right backs together is one of the many baffling selections he continues to make. Yes, Ince has made mistakes but it...

Plan B? I'm not convinced there's even been a Plan A for the last few weeks!

OK -I'll rephrase it. Given this, Gary Gardner must have had some decent dirt on Sami Hyypia but it doesn't explain the reason for Leon Best having played so much.

Don't you mean Gary Gardner AND Leon Best?
