Can anyone tell me why Jurgen was not n the bench on Saturday with Gyokeres replacing him?

[Albion] Who would you rather have on the bench v Leicester?

So a striker with multiple Dutch international honours who was a regular for one of the big 3 clubs in Holland, or a kid who admittedly has just played really well and scored 3, but against a league two side in a nothing competition.
I think I'll let Sir Chris decide.

Not seen such Bravery!
Illness - presumably 'flu or similar as he was kept away from the rest of the squad.

Didn't Tilley travel with the first team squad a couple of times at the back end of CHs first season with us? He seems further off now than he was then.

Could do but he will have a mountain to climb.
Locadia for the time being. Hughton clearly sees something in him, so we need to keep trying to make it work to recoup our investment. Connolly's time will come.
Edit: Just seen the score from last night. Maybe he should be rewarded with a place in the squad.
So to summarise, I'm not sure.

DJ skills in the dressing room before games?
Locadia is a better bet, he just needs game time not a few minutes here and there

Put him in the curry
Was a pity there were only a handful of brighton fans to see last nights game , i'm sure the very strong MK defence line up will never want to play against him any time soon , if there are any highlights of this watch out for goal 3 , he's actually hobbling around seconds before ! he was exceptional last night along with Normann who looks class at this level , Gyokeres had a very good game again and we were unlucky not to bag another goal or 2 at the end , in all honesty iv'e seen Locadia 3 times and Connolly 5 times and i know who i would want on the bench if we needed a goal in a hurry , time will tell but it wouldn't suprise me to see him in the squad again v Leicester , on merit .

We are in a PL survival competition, no time to see whether players might, if played in the right position and a following wind, give it a bash.
From visual evidence so far, I would give Connolly a run.

Sounds fair enough, I'd go for the kid.
That is just my opinion, of course - I fully realise it is CH who will make the decision (and sadly I think I can guess what that will be).
and who's fault is that?

You have big shoulders. I am blaming you.
He may prove to be an excellent player and if he is then I suspect he'll get his chance, so apologies for allowing a few facts to get in the way of this Connolly wankfest but:
* He wasn't all that great against Luton in that same nothing competition.
* He's made one first team appearance - against a second string Southampton team. We failed to score. At home.
* There is a reason why our pretty decent scouting network saw fit to pay £17m for Locadia. I'm not saying we don't have duds or that Locadia has come close to justifying that price tag, but what makes anyone think a kid with 3 "first team" (loosely) appearances to his name is ready to step up to the Premier league.
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
He'll pick the kid if he thinks he is good enough. Simple as that really.

We paid £17M (was it that much?) for Locadia in order to give Murray a kick up the arse to go on a goal-scoring spree and keep us in the PL. On balance, therefore, it was probably worth it.
Citing two games in which Connolly didn't score is hardly reason for discounting his 15 goals already this season. I know CH will decide, and I can guess what he'll decide, but that won't change my opinion. Go on Chris - seize the moment!
I know someone who's scored a hat full this season. Alright, it's in the Redhill & District Sunday Football League but would you like me to give Sir Chris his number?

Its all a bit flavour of the month isn't it ...people were calling for Gyokeres (?) and now the other chap.....right now Locadia for me
In addition lets not forget that CH gave Gyokeres the nod at Cardiff and played him in the C Cup earlier in the season..is he higher up the pecking list than Connelly?
