Another clean sheet for Koegh, that rubbish defender a number of 'fans' want out Why even lay the bait? The clean sheet today had very little to do with quality defending.

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Can we also assume Weinmann and fozzy would have started under normal circumstances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reasonable assessment or over reaction? Take a wild guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powell said before the game that their absence meant a couple of players were getting "happy surprises". Don't think Baird or Johnson would have played.

Don't know why Pearson picked him. Missed Olsson or Fozzy massively, Baird awful. Although we was poor, still should have won the game imo. Had a couple of great chances. Hoping that was just a typical first game. New striker and winger a must. Rightly cheered off? Are you for real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another clean sheet for Koegh, that rubbish defender a number of 'fans' want out. Hopefully next match there will be no Bent, Blackman, Baird or Johnson from the start. 4-3-3 please. Russell, Ince, Martin, Hughes, Butterfield, Bryson, Fozzy, Keogh, Shacks, Christie, Carson I'm one of Keogh's biggest fans but the clean sheet was more down to Brighton 's awful finishing than Keogh's defending. It was Shackell that commanded back 4. My Motm easily. Keogh also did have a moment in the game which Brighton should have scored from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf's shin pads Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Performance wasn't great but that's to be expected. Happy with a point against a good Brighton side. It's going to take a while for Pearson to get them playing how he wants them to. We have a side that has been used to playing, and been built/bought to play 433. The transition to be able to look comfortable in a 442 again won't be immediate. Onwards and upwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Their centre midfielder was fantastic,think it was Kayal? He ran the game and I am Surprised a premier league team hasn't bought him yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Also those calling for a formation change, haven't you learnt that you can't get the most out of 4-3-3 unless Thorne is playing as there is no defensive protection. Can't believe that some fans are criticising Bent either. Put Suarez in that Derby team and he would have struggled as there was no creativity behind him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, why is a "not great" performance to be expected? I blooming well expected one. Instead, it sounds like we got away with a draw against a team having to play a fb at cb and who were missing their supposed main midfielder through suspension. Pfft.

It was easier to count the headers both won it that game rather than the ones they didn't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheering a player off is shocking no matter what you think of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Either the squad's going to have to change it Pearson is. We're in limbo after last summer. Half the squad is suited to one style of play, the other half another and Pearson seemingly another. This COULD be another period of transition. Just get behind the team and hope for the best.

The style of football Pearson is trying to get us to play just will not work with the squad we have. We don't have any proper wingers. We don't have a strong mobile forward. We don't have any midfielders that are suited to playing in a central 2. We need half a dozen new signings if we are going to play this way, or we need Pearson to stop trying to make us into Leicester and try to make the best of the squad he has.

I just wasn't expecting to hit the ground running with a five star performance under a new manager with different ideas and a new formation in the first competitive game of the season. Even with injuries Brighton are a decent side with the same manager and comfortable in their formation. It would have been a difficult game under any circumstance.
