Spanish Dave?

[Rugrat]

Best crosser of the ball in the Championship I'd dare to say, that's his speciality.

But pretty pointless when nobody is at the other end apart from a bunch of villains

 

[OSRGull]

Much better yesterday than Derby.

 

[Bean]

Absolute Wank.

Really? Do you honestly think that?

 

[Stat Brother]

I get the impression being in the North East corner, I wasn't in the right position to see the best of Dave.

I'm glad I have just enough sense to not properly wade in.

I was in WS and he was very good in the first half, and nothing special in the second half. So if you were in the NS it's likely you missed his good first half play and only saw his average second half play

 

[Husty]

Would be a top player if he had pace, but he doesn't and won't. Wingers generally need pace in order to succeed.

:d
:d

don't go now..i was enjoying the swigs and roundabobs.

Yep, a wideman who can't dribble and can't run. What's the point.

Someone in this thread has described him as "dynamic". What does that even mean? Talk about clutching at straws. He might have played for Bilbao, but it might as well have been Burgess Hill. He's pony.

I thought David had a fairly decent game.

The amount of times I heard 'he's got no pace', 'he's too slow' etc. David Beckham had no pace. There is more than one way to beat a man. Passing round someone is quicker than running round someone. But because we have no decent headerer of the ball his 'skill' is wasted on us. He's not wank, he's just not effective for us. Will he ever be? Only Poyet can control that...

If only we had a target man...

Oh wait, Gus is completely incapable of signing one, having refused to pay our only one (and best forward) wages that our poor Croydon rivals could afford, meaning we no longer have one either.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Looked good to me, faded a bit in the second half.

The system and formation are the problem.

I would like to see a 442:


Thomas K

Bruno Greer El Abd Bridge

Lopez Bridcutt Croft Buckley/Barnes


Doobie/Barnes
CMS

 

[D Block blue]

He has been seen doing nothing on the pitch that's because he is sitting in WSL regularly.

Yawn.

 

[NickBHAFC18]

Great distributor and crosser of the ball, no real pace though. More of a CM than a winger imo.

 

[chucky1973]

is it just me that thinks when we play at home we need to go for it from the start, drop a midfielder, have two out and out wingers on the pitch and go for the jugular from the off. have two actual strikers on the pitch who actually play up front. when we play with tempo we are untouchable, the problem is we only play like that when 1 down and 15 minutes to go.

Dont Palace play with 2 wingers at the moment?

 

[Simster]

Coincidentally, I was going to start a thread on this subject and I log on and this is at the very top. I think he's below average and adds nothing to the side. Why he is getting starts I really don't know. I think I'd rather see Ryan Harley start.

Same goes for Dean Hammond who was good for 2 or 3 games but has been utterly shithouse ever since.

And should we play towards the North Stand in the first half to get the lead we desparately need

 

[Stat Brother]

I am right in thinking we've had more than 1 player saying, after training, words to the effect of:-

'If you think Vicente is world class you ain't seen nothing yet'.

All the while Bruno was ripping the division up.


If I'm wrong then this whole thread is based on a lie.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Spanish Dave isn't a player who uses pace, he's more about intricate passing and playing people in. If he's going to play it should be part of the three in midfield.

I thought on Saturday he looked like a tidy player but because of the nature of his game he was quite deep on the ball which meant he wasn't a big attacking threat. I'd rather see Buckley wide and Lopez though the middle from midfield
