Or you could have to eat your own words of course. One of his few games he scored against Arsenal.
I would say that he is stronger than Ulloa at holding up and protecting the ball, and if Hughton believes in him it doesn't leave me with any doubts in his ability.

Not nearly as weird as seeing a premier league player playing in a ramshackle football conference standard stadium, poor Glenn I imagine looking at his wage slip each month must give him some small crumb of comfort.
Be honest.
Ulloa struggled to hold the ball up because he was lying on the floor with his arms spread wide.
Honesty would appear to be one of CoG's talents.

Murray suddenly became a decent Championship striker at 29 so it blows this assumption out the window.
So you used to get a programme, three pints of beer and a steak and ale pie at the Goldstone in the 90s did you? Course you didn't. The price of EVERYTHING has gone up and is now disproportionate to the wages of the average fan. Why not talk to some of our old school fans about what was more affordable, then or now. Why not google some basic stuff of the cost of modern football? Its not difficult.
Secondly, while we had Bellotti lecturing us in the programme about how he was a great guy, just cutting costs, yada yada, to cover himself, no one was actually coming out with guff like "Premier League Ready" and "One Ambition".
So, in conclusion, we are paying a higher proportion of our disposable income than ever before on a promise that's not been delivered. Better?

Not seen such Bravery!
Players (currently) leaving in the summer :
GK : Ankers
Defenders : Hughes, Halford, Bennett, Calderon
Midfielders : Kemy
, Tex, McCourt ( if option not taken )
Strikers : CMS, Best
Plenty of work to do in the summer. It would be wise to get 1 or 2 more replacements sorted out now, particularly if a couple of the above leave this window, or go out on loan.

Well, You have to admit, Chris Hughton is Good, Extremely bloody Good!.. But you can only achieve so much with what you have!.

And yet you rate CMS (30) as being "twice the player" COG is ? Well lets look at the stats
CMS at Brighton: 21 goals in 93 appearances (0.22)
COG at Barnsley: 22 goals in 56 appearances (0.39)
So not far off DOUBLE the scoring rate at this level, in what was a perenially struggling Barnsley team. Are you SURE that CMS is twice the player ?
I think you might have that the wrong way round.

Please tell me you're joking.
I serious do think that oh no he's not
Shirley comparing CMS & CoG, is the equivalent of comparing a whippet with a Great Dane.
Technically they are the same, generally do the same things, but specifically they are very different.
Feel free to cheap shot away at a virtually open goal.
Personally with CoG staying, confident, and supported on and off the field.
I'm looking forward to the prospect of a Great Dane AND a Whippet (whichever one) playing up front together.
It's likely to be a vast improvement (by virtue of the fact it couldn't get much worse) on what has preceded it throughout the short history of the AMEX.
Add a fit, forward thinking, attack minded, pivotal midfielder into the mix, and it would appear Hughtown has the one that has also been lacking for a while.
A fit and healthy squad.

The RELEVANT stats are the ones where they have played and scored at this level - I am ignoring their L1/L2 records as its irrelevant to us as a Championship club.
And whilst COG's short Albion career in terms of goals is obviously poor so far, he has only just recently started playing for a manager who actually has half a clue and (crucially) *wants* him at the club. Plus we have been utter GASH all season up until recently, as were Barnsley. Whereas CMS has featured in a top 6 team most of his career here.
I'm not saying COG is Marco van Basten, but to imply he's not fit to lick the piss off CMS's bogseat is something of a stretch IMO.
