Who's the escape goat tonight......? 22:54 - Jan 16 with 2464 viewsBloots

....is it Walton or Greaves?

Can you lot make your mind up so that I can tut loudly.

Personally I thought we were collectively inadequate.

For McKenna, it will be Woolfenden and maybe Walton.

Walton had the sort of game people act like they want to kill Muric for, Greaves was fine but Burgess seems to have garnered quite the fan club who have decided he's the 2nd coming of Maldini and would never, ever get caught out or make a mistake for anything.

Think the main 'issue' is that Brighton are just much better than us really. Quicker and stronger all over the place and did a good job of preventing our better players from having much of an influence on proceedings.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Muric. Obviously. If he hadn’t been dropped, Walton wouldn’t be in goal and so would not have concede those goals.

...Wolf was the weakest of the "3" tonight.

Just my opinion though.

Which is worthless.

I think people are missing the point with Muric. Yes people have gone over the top, but it’s not because of a one off game. He was repeatedly making poor decisions which led to most goals conceded by one player in this league. It’s a cumulative thing with him.

I’m blaming Muric’s parents. If they hadn’t…you know what, he wouldn’t have been born and therefore not our goalkeeper to replace with Walton 🤪

Personally if we are to be honest

Omari was terrible.


But I don't think he should have played anyway. So can't blame him

Which of the two goals came from davis error?

The first wes loses mitoma and for some reason goes to mark the post. His shot 9 times out of 10 hits davis legs full on and bounces out not somehow go through the smallest gap possible.

2nd goal. Morsy erm. Loses the goal scorer.

Have to say, if you take a look at the games where we've played badly, Delap is one of the poorest players on the pitch. So much hinges on him.

Saying that, as I said before, I thought we were fine in general until they scored. But that was more defensively than going forward.

Not his fault. He's a battering ram and needs the ball. We gave it to him 10 times today.

What isn't great however is he clearly has a brilliant shot on him...but he must have a really low shot per game ratio. Of course to score the goals he has shows he has had shots overall. But across what 20 games now he rarely seems to be set up. Chelsea game was a good example of how dangerous he can be tho when he's given the opportunities.
