To be honest, I'd rather think EVERY signing we ever make is turd than be such a dribbling, precious retard like yourself that even a word of criticism leaves me throwing my toys out the pram.

If you can't see Poke is a shocker then you're even more stupid than it appears. Our manager has more or less admitted it himself for christ sake!!

I wasn't on about Poke I was refering to you having another pop at Gus.

As for your inaccurate description of me, I think you get the most abuse out of most posters for your odd views. And thanks for using the word retard - because I don't agree with your unusual opinion to blame Gus for anything I am mentally challenged. Really mature.

Think I may have mixed you up with someone else. I wasn't trying to have a go at Gus, but it does seem like a poor bit of business.

OK maybe I did fair dos. But to call me a 'such a dribbling, precious retard like yourself that even a word of criticism leaves me throwing my toys out the pram.' is just a tad harsh and inaccurate considering you don't know me. One of my strong points on here is actually that I can take criticism / other peoples opinions so you're extremely wrong there.

Gee you guys, he is young and his debut and your already saying he is shit, yes had a bad game but he has had to psycholgically go from maybe starting the 1st game to being backup and now 3rd string, most players would have been down and not in right mind to play.
Im disappointed so many of you want him to fail.
Dont listen to them Poke if you read this as we already know some players read the forums.
You make some saves and your have these muppets eating out of your hands, shallow like that, play some games in the reserves and get some of your morale back i think your be fine.

No not Pokes bird just a real brighton fan who wants our team to succeed and not jump down players throats as if had half a brain cell would no not way to make a player improve.
A player has one bad game and bang, come on use your brains.
Yes players who consistently rubbish eg hawkins, livermore etc deserve it as over time poor but not Poke and other young and new players.

So like the majority, you have never seen him play a competitive game for the Albion?

Why do people constantly have to give our players the benefit of the doubt and trot this tired 1-liner out about having to see him in the flesh before you're allowed to pass judgment?! I mean, after each phone in, people at the same match have clearly seen different games going by much of the debate (!) so being there doesn't qualify you to be a better judge necessarily cause everyone who goes disagrees about who played well etc?

Statistically the majority will actually go on to become footnotes rather than legends so what's the problem with calling a spade when shit is so obviously being shovelled? Especially when said player has been transferred for peanuts from another league 1 club where he couldn't get a game?! I said Smith was terrible after a couple of games. I said the same about Holroyd after two games. Yet some people (not necessarily you UB) kept harping on about giving them more time. Football isn't that long, trialists don't get the same luxury so what is effectively a reserve team tonight needs people to step up or they're not likely to be troubling the 1st team soon are they? Craig Barndoor Davies was another, yes he whose most telling contribution last Sat fr his new club was to get sent off (rumour has it he missed the dressing room on his way up the tunnel). Yet time and time again people leapt to his defence - right up to the point where we said "here's a banjo, go find a herd son and practice".

So in my mind maybe, maybe, some of us, having watched the Albion for many years are just better at spotting dross earlier than quite a few on here? Consequently as far as I'm concerned good people of NSC, criticise away those found wanting in the famous stripes because you're more often right than not. And I hazard to guess than in Poke we've bought a turkey; not least because Poyet's admitted as much. Given the manner of his first goal conceded, hopefully we won't see him repeat his mistake......namely because he won't get near the subs bench let alone first 11.
