Spanish Dave - what exactly does he do?! VOL II

[Bold Seagull]

I don't know what game you were at because Bruno and Dave have been shite all season. As for Crofts who has been one of our better players this season and Andrews, who also has been consistently good, they were the ones covering for Bruno who in the past two games has been shit. Bruno and Dave are ok when the game is easy but they disappear when you have to fight for a win.

Do you find it difficult to separate the two?

Withdean Wanderer anyone?

The midfield was poor last night, neither Andrews or Crofts could get hold of the midfield, which left Bruno chasing around after the ball, and left the likes of Kaz and David feeding off scraps.

Bruno put him through one on one with a tremendous chip and he ****ed it up? Hardly a scrap is it?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I actually thought for the first 30 minutes, Bruno bossed the midfield...he just ran out of steam.

SD is out of form! that is all and I think Oscar is giving him game time to recover that form, hence he is not getting a full game.

It is really strange that SD and Bruno get in in front of Ince at the moment though.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

If we win a penalty on Saturday... Who would you want to take it?

Agreed that he is not playing well yet... He had bad games last season too.
He is not alone in failing to deliver to the standard expected so far this season.

He is a class act, an intelligent footballer who loves playing for Brighton.
I am confident he will produce game winning spells again this season.

Bloodyhell, noone else fluffed a chance last night or at Reading then....Ulloa, Crofts, Andrews, Barnes.....

Of course, but not multiple chances. He hasnt performed so far, hence the examples of him costing us.

Crofts and Andrews both got goals (Brum away and last night) which got us some points. Ulloa looked a bit off the pace before his injury last night too, but was on fire before that.

I'm not saying SD played well, I'm just not singling him out as some are trying to do.

Spanish Dave? Spanish div more like. I would prefer to have Dean Cox taking our set pieces and not beating the first man. Least he was a local lad. And dont get me started on Bruno.

Is he the new "play anywhere when fit" Virgo.

Works at Reading Airport apparently

If he is out of form / not match fitness ready, then he should of played with the development squad not the 1st team to cost us points.

To cost us points?

So it's all his fault on his own then?

No it's not all of his fault, but he plays a major role in it IMO, an out of form player doesn't deserve to play more games than an inform player (Ince)

David Lopez is a class act. He uses the ball in a way others in our side are just not able to (a good way I might add!). I love watching him. However, agreed that in some games this season he has made more mistakes and disappeared from time to time. Personally I am far more concerned about what Bruno is doing in the 11 and that Andrews and Ward are just not as good as Bridcutt and Bridge. When we are back in League One some time, in the hopefully distant future, you won't see a David Lopez; enjoy while you can.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Some of the comments on here are laughable. He's got so much going for him, but he's in a bad run of form.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Love it - gone from "we must get Spanish Dave back" to "he's crap" in no time at all. Who said football fans were fickle?

 

[ees complicated no?]

Yhp he's still shit.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Now, what he does is lives off of a quality free kick and a couple of half decent games last year. Said before we resigned him that he was a below average player which is probably why no one else wanted to sign him when he was released!
