strong and stable with me, or...
Of course it's reactionary, he's featured in 28 of our 31 league games, we're currently lying just shy of the play-off's. If you're going to state 'he shouldn't be anywhere near our team' to him, then you've got to apply that to a fair few of the other players in our squad.
The guy is a craftsmen, and through no fault of his, or Oscar's for that matter, injuries and suspensions have meant our natural play has often been stifled and not as fluent as last season.
It was fluent for much of Saturday, especially first half and it was no coincidence that Lopez had a much better game. It also clicked against Leicester and Birmingham, again 2 further games he was much better in. If our confidence as a team grows and we start to keep the ball better and pass more fluently, he and Orlandi will start to shine again.

He played him centrally for the Doncaster game, and I think he did the same for Leeds. For me, he looks FAR better on the left.

I agree up to a point. I think he probably was man of the match against Wigan, but he certainly wasn't absolutely suburb!, and that doesn't really say a lot for the other players. Bruno and Ince ran him close.
I know he has it in him to be an integral part of the team though, as his performances in the second half of last season showed. But oh, if only he could/would tackle!
I know people are rightly down on our chances right now, but look at the fixture list next month:
Millwall V Brighton Sat 1 Mar 15:00
Brighton V Reading Sat 8 Mar 15:00
Brighton V QPR Tue 11 Mar 19:45
Bolton V Brighton Sat 15 Mar 15:00
Brighton V Ipswich Sat 22 Mar 15:00
Sheff WedV Brighton Tue 25 Mar 19:45
Brighton V Middlesbrough Sat 29 Mar 15:00
Looking at those fixtures individually, I think we could win every single one of them. Even the toughest game on paper looks winnable as QPR have gone to pot for some reason. And the two toughest opponents on paper are both home matches.
21 points up for grabs right there. Get a decent backup striker in and I honestly think we could get 19 points there - shades of us under Poyet in the title winning season, so we all know it's possible.
Oh come on, QPR are in a bad run because they're down to the bare bones.

21 points in the bag! It's a nailed on certainty. Dunno why people are worried

I'd be happy with 14 points [ave 2 per game] from those 7 fixtures.
But more critically we must take all THREE against Reading and not let Ipswich beat us,
As others have said, Blackburn will slot in there somewhere and that's another must NOT lose fixture if we are to stop them leapfrogging us.
