Brighton & Hove Albion (H) build up 19/9

If you are playing 2 up top there isn't a hole

Brighton are on a roll at the moment, but all good things come to an end. Playing the form side in the division will mean we will raise our game to the standard we expect. I can only see a Wolves victory.

Love your logic hope you are proven right. I think we will get beaten easily but we have this mad habit of dramatic form swings. Hope iorfa gets a run out.

Iorfa is a right back and not a centre half according to Kenny yesterday (2 weeks after saying he was one of the options there when selling Stearman)

Kenny is saying anything to fit the story. In Moxeys piece in the E&S he states Stearman was sold because he was about to lose his place as better players come through he said that's KJs call. That's why he had played every game this year and been given the armband.

Remind me who was club captain last season?

What?!

 

[Tony Towner]

If you are playing 2 up top one will naturally and always come deeper meaning there isn't a role for a 3rd midfielder to sit behind them like an auxiliary 3rd forward, unless you can give me an example of this ever working?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Kaka had a pretty good time at Milan playing at the tip of the diamond behind two fowards, Juventus have used a similar approach for the last few years too.

Having two forwards doesn't necessarily mean that there's no space for an advanced midfield, it all depends how they play.

Wasn't it Ricketts
Armband given to Batth then Danny was out for Wigan and Millwall go on educate me I forgot.
Wasn't really my point though as you know.
Do you believe KJ wanted to get rid of Stears or was he encouraged to so they could get accept good money for him?

And who for me is nowhere near as good as Stearman for all his faults.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Stearman is gone. Get over it as it can't change now.

 

[North West Wanderer]

Paddy with respect there's nothing to "get over".

Are all former players banned from being discussed?

I don't believe Jackett was 'encouraged' to do anything about his squad. I believe he gets the final decision on who is sold and who is brought in. Whether or not we have to agree with him is another matter entirely - although it seems it's acceptable to agree with Jackett but not with Moxey....

I cannot believe Jackett is a soft touch, as is often implied.

And as I've said numerous times, the money we got for Stearman was more than decent. If the tables were turned, most of those lambasting the decision to sell him would balk at that sort of fee for a player of similar quality being brought in. I understand why we sold Stearman, even if I'm not 100% in agreement with it. The backlash to it - as with many things - has been way OTT.

Absolutely correct Langers.

Theres no set format, I suppose much depends on what the coach is asking of players in different areas of the field, both as individuals and collectively.
Some teams play with a front three without all the three occupying the same line.

Of course not. My point was that Stearman is now an ex-member of the squad, so comparing his abilities to those of, for instance, Danny Batth, just seems a futile exercise.

Hope your right about last word for KJ as he's the one who will get the sack if it all goes badly wrong.
