Gordon Greer M.I.A

[BensGrandad]

If Greer is dropped, who would Dunk pass to?

The same as usual nobody; He needs to sit on the bench and watch El Abd and learn how to defend against men bigger and stronger than himself.

El Abd

El Abd

Midfield occasionally would be nice!

Just seen wolves 3rd goal. Standard stuff from Greer. I would rather bridcutt marks their most dangerous player from crosses into our box than Greer. Don't think I've ever seen a poorer centre half in the air than Greer. He need not even go forward for corners either. Doesn't even look like he wants to win a header.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I said at beginning of season amd will say again i dont think greer will finish the season as captain itll be crofty or el abd.

 

[West Upper Seagull]

I'm not a big fan of Greer, much of his weaknesses have already been highlighted, particularly his inability to be anywhere near commanding enough in the air - but it frightens me how often he gives the ball away when he's not even under pressure. And I feel that we always look more fragile at the back when Dunk plays. We definately need a new CB to partner El-Abd IMO.

I didnt go today but the general opinions on here appears to be that he was responsible for 2 of the goals and speaking to one of my sons who went to the game he could and should have done better with all of the goals and had a poor game generally. I respect the views of Severnside Gull perhaps you should read his assessment in the marks today thread. As I have said many times I think that he has great potential but is not good enough yet an we suffer whenever he plays.

Did not go and still you think your right look at ratings yourself and if your son listen to you all the time not surprised by his comments only suggest you watch highlights 1st goal right side defence one two past Greer and Bruno so can't see how that is his fault 2nd goal bridcutt bad pass and 3rd goal gg at far post just proves your opinion is tainted as said earlier reason we dropped 2 points today at 1.1 Dobs missed a sitter ,Lopez also blazed over and Barnes have to take them chances have an opinion but be fair also was at game so know what I saw

Having now had the opportunity to watch the FL Show and being able to stop and play etc. I will accept that the 1st Wolves goal was not Dunks fault, the 2nd was 100% his fault with the lunge tackle and he was lucky not to get a red card for it, far worse than the one by Wolves player on Bridcutt. The third goal was a cross from their left into our 6 yd box and you expect your central defenders to be able to cut those crosses out so him and Greer must accept some responsibility for that, as must Calderon who missed the header.

I think that I would accept my sons opinion as being a better summing up than yours.

Of course you would because that's what you want to hear not the facts bridcutt you say no blame if he keeps ball when under no pressure this thread would not be on here as for defending a set play you defend the player you are told to mark and not let him score as gg did not so clearly his fault as his reaction showed at the end of the game and when they scored

 

[BensGrandad]

Had Dunk not lunged in and stood up the player would have had to go round him and not go on and shoot so it was 100% Dunks mistake, but he will learn with more experience.

 

[brightn'ove]

u sure he wasnt yelling at bruno

i think he is referring to a deflected goal that came off of greer, GG turned round and screamed at TK as if it was his fault...

Spot on. El-Abd with a new signing. And if Dunk drops out of the squad, a second new central defender required.

 

[Rugrat]

Our ex captain was Crofts. He is a real leader. His position suits a captains role more than CB. He can control the defense and attack because he plays a central role. BRING CROFTS BACK AS CAPTAIN!

I have to say if I've been disappointed with anyone (of the "new" signings) it's him. Maybe I set my expectations too high but I saw him as a real key to us improving yet he's been largely unimpressive and anonymous. I think he'll struggle to keep his place unless his performances improve.

Greer is having a dodgy patch no doubt ... but he's been good enough for the last 2+ years and he'll come good again

 

[APACHE]

Let's get 1 thing straight, for the last 3 seasons Albion's defence has been poor when the ball has been crossed to the far post. We got away with it when we won the title, last season people blamed the goalies who were poor on crosses and this season so far the oppossition hasn't taken most of the chances that have occured due to there being a decent keeper between the posts. But the problem is still there, that only 1 of our 3 c/b knows how to put himself about and defend v a strong c/f and yesterday he didn't play.

Agree with your first point and hope your second one is right, i do still have concerns about his lack of pace, if you're having an off game pace can cover the cracks, Gordon doesn't have this luxury.

 

[Surf's Up]

Why not El Abd, surely he deserves a shot bearing in mind how long he has been there?

and he's a Brighton boy who supports the team
