Jonnyboy Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 If we are going to go up our away form has gotta improve. What a great way to show our mental strength to win today after friday knightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 Wouldn't think there's any chance of that whatsoever.Might have been useful though. I personally don't like the look of that bench. Chaplow, SDR and Fonte injured - shows we really are down to about 14 players, considering how "fringe" Forte and Reeves are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 I personally don't like the look of that bench. I don't see any "impact" options on there so the starting line up really has to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 I don't see any "impact" options on there so the starting line up really has to do it. It's not just about impact options, Brighton are a dirty side and some of their hatchet men aren't suspended today. I will be more than pleased with a point today cos our line up...well let's say it doesn't really inspire me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted 2 January, 2012 Share Posted 2 January, 2012 I don't see any "impact" options on there so the starting line up really has to do it. Forte can do that job to a point, with his pace and finishing. His all-round game isn't superb I admit, but as an impact player he can do a job. We also have Fox and Holmes for different wide options. It's not as good as I'd like, but it's not terrible either. I'm sure there are teams around us who would love those options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are teams around us who would love those options TBF I've read some of Prestons views on Forte, and they aren't pretty. Dross not a footballer were too things that I remember. He shouldn't really play for us after January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are teams around us who would love those options I'd love to see Forte come on and really do something because that would be as good as a new signing. However, IIRC the "intelligence" on him when we signed him was that he can be a heck of a player IF he thinks people believe in him; if not, he's dead weight. Given that neither management nor the fans seem to rate him, he's going to have to find that confidence within, which isn't his "Forté". Jeez, I can't believe I did that.

I'm sure there are teams around us who would love those options As CanadaSaints said, no impact players. If you are relying on Forte then we are fecked. I am happy to eat my words if he comes on and scores a late winner, but he really is out of his depth. He has pace, but that is no good if you have no movement off the ball, getting up to speed from a standing start is his problem. Still the starting line up looks good, so lets hope that the Brighton hackers don't upset that too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
