Yeah, I could see why it read that way though - partly my fault.

You know full well what I meant. - you know, all the crap we bought in / loaned in.

Well hopefully they have learned a lesson then - that is all I'm pointing out. They won't learn from it if they still think it was the right thing to do at the time. TB will know who made the calls, who advised him, so he too will know how wrong we got it. That is all I'm saying really. I don't...

Well, you've hit the nail on the head there - how many youth prospects have we produced that go into our first team or elsewhere each year!? Two is actually a big number to have let go compared to how many you actually bring through for that possibility. They're incredibly hard to discover and...

I know you'd defend the Albion even if they were burning babies in Lewes on bonfire night, but unlike all the players you've listed - Elphick and Cook were Sussex lads we had as kids. Big difference to let your own go who go onto better things. You don't win anything with kids I guess.

Exactly. A club in the division below, with far less resources than us (at that time) was able to offer him a much better contract. Talent judgement.

Excuses really. Nothing stopped us offer a young local kid with nearly 200 appearances behind him a decent contract after his injury and send him out on loan for regular first team football. The crystal ball, or hindsight some people like to call it, is actually 'talent judgement'. Successful...

I wonder who we'll sell Jake and Solly to so that someone else can get promoted to the Premier League!?

We should have given it a chance. Could have sent him out on loan, he wanted to be here. We rushed to judge he wasn't good enough (pre injury judgement) for where we thought we were heading.....we just didn't realise at the time it was League One rather than the Premier League!

As we scrape past relegation, I can't think of anything else! All the players we let go or could have signed who've gone on to get promoted; Cook, Elphick, Murray, Noone, Barnes, Wood, Vokes...We're left with a pile of shite. Vokes was signed for £350k by Burnley, we paid how much for Baldock...

Tommy's league appearances were: 10/11 = 27 apps (total 35) 09/10 = 44 apps (total 50) 08/09 = 39 apps (total 49) 07/08 = 39 apps (total 44) I never said he was first choice that season, but to say he was a peripheral figure prior to his injury was disingenuous to say the least. I don't buy...

Elphick was a key figure in the title winning season and the season preceding it. Only his injury cast him aside, and Gus spunking money on ex England internationals.
