So it was - was that FFS Parr that came from the video of the penalty shoot out then? Something definitely did.

No in his final season with us at Withdean his work rate was as high as any of the team, in my opinion anyway and his movement from defence to attack was really excellent, I for one was devastated when he failed to sign a new contract and left and after watching his performance on Friday can only rue what we have missed, eg. probably the five best years of his career, just to satisfy the whim of Gus Poyet who wanted his own man/team rather than the excellent player we already had who for some reason didn't rate? We would be where that lot up the road are had he stayed and probably Poyet would be in a far better place himself. Shame, but welcome back Glenn.

So who would you rather have up front Murray or Wickham?

Stupid IDIOT
Makes me even more SICK we let Murray go for NOTHING to SING Mackail Smith for MILLIONS, we would have been up in the 2012/13 season with Murray on the end of Vincente & co's crosses and the Poyet DYNASTY would still be in charge.

Nah Poyet wanted a bigger club than Albion are ever likely to be. I agree we would have gone up but he'd definitely be gone by now. The better we did the more he'd tout himself and I dare say, had he got us promoted, he'd quite possibly have got a top job, he craved, sooner or later. The Media loved him and he was very highly rated when he was here.
Yes Mr SE20, you are correct it was our first meaningful defeat at the Amex, prior to that we had found the Championship well within the the capability of our team and indeed for the first 60 minutes on "that" evening all was going to plan and we were not troubled, but as our team tired so yours became a bit more dominant and the result was a wake up call and then for Ffs to score on top of that so legends are made, ffs.

We'd never have noticed from you putting him down for the last fortnight

I do remember Tommy not someone you would want to mess with considering his connections

It wasn't our first meaningful defeat at the Amex.
Have I?
I said he was a good signing who'd do well for us? The only 'put down' (if you can call it that) is that I think Hemed will start in the target man role once we sign an established No. 10. That would relegate Murray to the bench,
Nothing for you to get your knickers in a twist about,

He left us and joined Palace... He won't win everyone over immediately and I'm sure he knows that.

The atmosphere in the South Stand was toxic that day. The team was a mess, the squad was struggling and Micky Adams had lost control. Murray stopped chasing Delph, he wasn't fit enough and wouldn't have got there anywhere so Fraser gave him a shove, they had a row and someone pulled Fraser away. Murray played injured, and it badly showed. Fraser is a rubbish player who was never going anywhere, Glenn Murray is a top quality Championship striker we are lucky to have back in our team.

He knows that. In my book he's only ever acted like a true professional. It was just unfortunate it was Palace but they saw the opportunity and took it.

Entirely Poyet's fault too IMO. I remember reading articles about Poyet laughing and joking about the possibility of him going to Palace whilst he was negotiating to try and stay.
Rating CMS as a better bet
Until the goals start flowing!!!!.....then it's uncanny how all is forgiven!!
Gutted when he left!...and chuffed when he came back right from the start!,,,,regardless of the Palace issue....its years ago, get over it, he's one of the best forwards we've had and he's back banging them in for us again!

See Friday night.
We have lacked someone to stand in the middle of the goal and get tap ins since Leo left. With the quality we have going forward, we will score plenty of exciting goals. But it is the tap ins that will make the difference between promotion and not IMHO.

That's my recollection. Murray had a persistent groin problem and could just about jog. I remember him failing miserably to track back a Leeds attack (thanks for the Delph reference, I forgot who the player was).
He wasn't it enough to be on the bench let alone starting but Micky was on borrowed time and was desperate. We were awful, we the fans were fed up, Murray with his homesick issues and injury was an easy scapegoat.
Gutted when we released him, absolutely delighted to see him back.
