Poor Shane is getting dogs abuse - not quite the wonderful adventure he was dreaming of so far.

He's a better passer but not footballer. And Webster makes f ups and gives the ball away stupidly a fair bit

How many times since lockdown last season, and this ? Genuine question. He’s been our best CB since the resumption IMO (yes, including Dunk)

I know you love Webster unconditionally, but best CB for Brighton isn't a very high bar at the moment.

Twattish comment. I don’t....just objectively looking at CB performance this season and the end of last. Webster made several mistakes previously but he seems to have cut them out mostly. Dunk has made more.

Uncalled for insult, but not the first time you've bluntly tried to shut me down over Webster's performances. Your opinion differs from mine, fair enough. Mine is that none of the central defenders stand out above a 6/7 out of 10 at the moment .

This is utter rot. Webster is miles better than Duffy. On current form, he's the best CB at our club. Which is quite something given that he's up against a club legend and a player with a £50m price tag. Defending, heading, passing, speed, carrying the ball, he's even developing his positioning too.

How would you define a fair bit, I can only really remember twice when it caused a goal, at Chelsea when it was his fault for the penalty, and another but I can remember which game, not a fair bit imo

Not denying he isn’t our best CB on form, because he is.

Heading is not great, little actual distance, carrying the ball needs to be improved, as if he hasn’t passed it after his second/third touch, his third/fourth is often very heavy. Positionally he is improving, but needs to attack the ball - see Everton. Along with White just seems very light for me, which also impacts set piece wise.

But, he immediately looked stronger post lock down, and is a better all-round footballer than Duffy. As you say, his pace is also deceptive.

Good summary.....we’re def weaker in the air (and consequently at set pieces at both ends) without Duffy but White and Webster offer much more overall. Burn doesn’t offer enough aerially either given his height advantage.

You said he ‘makes f ups and gives the ball away a fair bit’. He hasn’t anywhere near as much since lockdown IMO. And ‘I know you love Webster unconditionally’ is a) untrue and b) twattish.

If ‘makes f ups and gives the ball away a fair bit’ is your objective assessment on his season to date then fair enough - I don’t agree.
