I'm confused. Who plays for us now?

[Skaville]

I've been busy over the summer and we seem to be signing a player every three or four minutes and they all seem to be called Wright or Smith and play in midfield.

Does some lovely, lovely person fancy doing a basic run down (where from, position, cost) etc on the players we've acquired over the summer so I don't look like a complete goon on Saturday?

Thanks in advance

And even knowing all this, I still don;t feel in a position to contribute to the "how will we line up" threads because I simply have no idea who is best and who will fit in with who. But I dare say within a few games (ideally sooner for RS) all will be revealed.

Why not just go on the brighton website.

You & me both Jim'll. I'm even contemplating buying a programme (yes, a programme FFS )on Saturday! Shirley that can't be right though, can it? I can see me settling for my tried & tested M.O. ie refer to half of 'em as "son", innit.

Sake.

It's lucky they'll all be wearing blue and white striped shirts, as I'm sure most of the crowd won't know who's who.

I certainly haven't kept up very well this year, either. I've printed off the squad number list from the club website and will probably not know much about Saturday's game as I'll be spending most of the time trying to work out who our players are.

The Grub asks a lot of questions at the best of times, but I think my stock answer on Saturday is likely to be "I don't know"

I feel a rousing chorus of "Who the f***ing hell are you" coming on this Saturday

Tried that. The player profiles aren't up to date and the news feeds are limited to the last week or two.

Thanks TRHK, but I thought we had ten signings, not nine?!?! Have you forgotten one. Two Wright's, two Smith's a Dicker and a Dickinson. Not confusing at all!

Who the f***ing hell is who??

Is there a Jamie Smith and a James Smith?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Is there a Jamie Smith and a James Smith?

Yes there is, Jamie Smith is the former Palace youngster we signed a few days ago.

James Smith is a first or second-year scholar.

Both are midfielders I think.

 

[Skaville]

Crofts is the missing one.

He's a central midfielder freebie from Gillingham, (w)right?

 

[Frutos]

Is there a Jamie Smith and a James Smith?

I know we have a Jamie Smith and a Graeme Smith, don't recall seeing any mention of a James.

That's f***ing ridiculous. The young one should be forced to change his name.

This is getting stupid. What next? Squad numbers with decimal points?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Graeme Smith too?! Somebody'll be telling me that they all have short hair & play in blue & white stripes next..

 

[Twinkle Toes]

I'd do an 'ask the club' thing: but I'm so confused now, I don't even know what to ask 'em.
