Poyet's attacking signings in The Championship

[Withdean Wanderer]

Vicente - class act, total sicknote
Hoskins - absolute sicknote
Buckley - bit of a sicknote, potentially a class act
Lopez - early signs suggest he's crap
Dobbie - early signs suggest he's a fat waste of space
Paynter - shit
Vokes - average
CMS - overpriced
Crofts and Hammond - little attacking threat
Assulin - turd
Kazenga - sicknote who rarely gets a game
Orlandi - proven sicknote

Is it any wonder we're struggling to score goals? Poyet is excellent at getting us organised, and our defence looks class. But it's extremely frustrating that Gus doesn't seem to have a clue how to go about attacking teams - particularly when he was an attacking player himself.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

You missed off Barnes - Immense!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

We finished midtable last season and we are eighth thus far. To suggest he has no idea is over dramatising things.

 

[watsongooal]

I think Dobbie will come good and be a quality signing for us.

 

[Philzo-93]

For god sake, it's a marathon not a sprint

 

[Weststander]

You missed off Barnes - Immense!

Withdean Wanderer got his wording quite right "... in the Championship".

And his summary is pretty accurate.

Barnes was a snip who's paid that tiny fee back many fold with goals.

 

[OSRGull]

Oh my f***ing lord.

Hoskins a sick note? Ridiculous, he actually gets serious injuries.

Buckley is definitely not a sick note.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Were Crofts and Hammond ever signed as attacking players....midfields who have the ability to get forward i would suggest..both are capable of scoring...judge that one at the end of the season

Exactly! If we fall too far off the pace we will never recover. And there is no second chance for a whole year.

 

[OSRGull]

As for Dobbie, it's like the fans couldn't wait to get on his back. I think he'll turn out an exciting useful signing. He clearly has the ability as we've seen with Swansea and Blackpool.

I agree. He was different class for Swansea and Blackpool in this division.

On a WW thread, what level is your irony-o-meter set at today, BoF?

goal off his back side will help....nice mazy dribble in there area ended with a mishit shot

 

[Questions]

With Bridcutt, Hammond and Crofts in midfield yesterday we were hardly going to be unlocking many defences with that trio.
Spanish Dave isn't a true winger so where was out width ?
I thought CMS was playing far to wide at times and on more than one occasion he put in fair crosses to who ?

 

[NIGELROBERT]

needs to play in the hole behind cms

I think Dobbie will come good and be a quality signing for us.

 

[Drumstick]

Barnes - Fantastic
Noone - Sold for ?£1mil
Lopez - Looked ten times better yesterday and will continue to improve.
CMS - An excellent addition to the team.
Dobbie - Still feel he will do well.

Please don't state your opinion like facts.

Oh no, we'll not win another game this season. How can I stand it? How can I cope? Anyone know any good counsellors in the Brighton area?

 

[Neecha]

Well said! Surely judge him at end of season as well?

 

[SittingbourneSeagull]

Well said! Surely judge him at end of season as well?

Thats madness, and not the Brighton way. If he has not come good after 2 and a half games then he never will!!!!!!1

Why wait with Hammond, do you not recall the dozen missed header chances, like yesterdays, that got us relegated last time around?
