Our biggest problem with letting in goals is losing the ball in midfield for which Dicker is a major culprit or not picking up players eg Phillips which again was midfielders not chasing the 2nd ball and the likes of Ambrose and Murray for Palace and Chopra for Ipswich.

I cannot see Gus replacing Greer and would think that the more likely option if he signs is Bridge to replace or challenge Painter possibly Calderon. Gus may perservere until El Abd is back as he rates him very highly.

I think that people are underestimating the strength and ability of clubs like thos e mentioned above, we do not have God given right to expect to beat them. I would agree about midtable being a respectable finish for this season but somehow don't believe that TB and Gus would agree.

I agree with porky pie whether or not it will be now or in January nobody can say but I would certainly think that it is on the agenda. Unfortunately for whatever reason neither Greer nor Dunk are winning headers well enough at the moment.

What has happened in the past is history we have got to plan for the present and future. We cannot live forever on what we achieved last season, it is what we do this season that is now important. The problem is the sides we lost to are no better than a lot more in this division so it is...

I can understand your misinterpretation. I have said that we need somebody to win the ball in the centre of defence in the air. This problem may be overcome when El Abd is back but until then we need either a central defender to win these balls or a full back to stop the crosses coming...

Try reading it again but properly this time!! Then tell me of the 'changes all over the park'

Talking of garbage case of pot kettle. All I have suggested is Vincelot to play alongside Bridcut to shore up the midfield which has been overrun recently and a possible loan signing to strengthen the defence until such time as El Abd is back, no major expenditure or reformatting just a...

I think that we need an improvement in the defence at full back and centre defence as I have said many times as everybody has got carried away with Dunk and missed the fact that we do not win any headers in the box. As many have said we need a support to Bridcut and I have suggested many...

That about sums it up. I dont expect us to be champions or even in the play offs although obviously I would like it but as Acker 79 has said the manner in which we have played recently suggest a long hard winter unless the rot is stopped quickly. What we have achieved in the last 18 months...

We are 5th only by default and the failings of other clubs and if they get their act together we could drop like a lead balloon and a short term loan to cover until El Abd is able to offer his services would be an acceptable answer to halt the conceeding of goals. Continued results losing or...

My disappointment is not in the fact that I expect us to be in the promotion race but in the manner in which we seem to have fallen apart recently. Yes we have El Abd to come back but I do not think that Elphick will realistically figure as a first choice although at least he would attack the...

I think the team/we definitely need a kick up the rear to get us back on track and bringing in a player who appears not to be a squad member but an automatic first choice would give us the kick needed.

It appears to have all gone quiet on the signings front as there is no more speculation and rumours so perhaps we will have nobody new in before Saturday, which would be very disappointing.

I was thinking that perhaps all the playing and managerial staff on the playing side had the weekend off.

Could the reason that he hasnt signed be that the players all had the weekend off and are not due back in until Tuesday, so hopefully some news tomorrow.

We could but he wasnt prepared to sit on the bench and wait his chance. He didnt look that good coming back from his horriofic injury appearred scared to get involved, which is understandable.

Wayne Gray on loan at Withdean

Would this be a case of A Bridge over troubled waters to calm us down.

Should there be any substance to this rumour, today showed that he would be an ideal addition to the squad on a long term loan.
