An interview to say "its not the defence or me as goal keeper fault that we are a terrible lower league side fighting relegation from the second tier". Made some good points but really how many howlers has been made by our keeper this season? Too many and I bloody hope our manager sits him down and tells him that. Yes we have bloody terrible strikers (spending £2 Million on CMS instead of Murray.. only at Brighton) but lets not let the rest of the team off the hook. A top what 11 to 15 support in the country and a bunch of players, some of which would be lucky to get into the Burgess Hill Town side these days. No excuses and all the grief the team get they deserve. Flouncing around a nice posh training ground at Lancing? Forget it, if I was their manager, I'd have them down the park and running around Whitehawk. Reality check needed for the lot. Lets have some Brian Clough common sense on these players and lets not pamper them -they dont deserve it and its doing them no favours. They are not special until they prove it and all they have proven this season is that they are well sh!te.
If you look at the stats, outside the top 6, only one team has conceded fewer goals than us. Goalkeepers and defenders will make mistakes but what has cost us is the failure to score goals.
Goals from anywhere too, not just forwards. Another thing that annoys me, Stephens is probably one of our tallest players - and yet he takes all our corners and set pieces while Calderon, Kayal, Tex etc. all get in the box. At this pretty much desperate stage of the season, can one of our shorter players not take a corner so we can at least get some more height in the box!? It's little details like these that are really winding me up.

Very good interview and I agree the defence particularly under Houghton has tightened up our goal differance is the best of any team at the bottom but our attack play has been woeful and could still be what takes us down cannot see any of our forwards scoring another goal this season
What a top lad he is. That was probably one of the most genuine interviews I've seen from a footballer. He's a class act.
He's also one of the leaders on the pitch. Before kick off, he goes to every team member to encourage them.
For those of us at work so can't hear the interview, anyone fancy stating what he said in a broad sense?
Cheers
He sounds like he's about to burst into tears throughout this interview - wouldn't blame him!
We all take the blame for a defensive error together, we all share the blame for no shots on target. From the tea boy to the chairman we are in it together - that was more or less it.For those of us at work so can't hear the interview, anyone fancy stating what he said in a broad sense?

He was about to dissolve into a puddle of tears. That is basically it
