I think he just goes by Q.

superdimitri

Actually a false economy in their respect. They've received a small financial gain but a loss to their squad that won't be replaced with the spare 2.5 million euros and therefore will cost them more in the long run. To get a player who scored 6 Premier league goals in 16 starts from midfield at 26 ...

They think they’ve had our pants down for a fee of €4m??

Yes, they got him for 1.5m and sold him for 4m when he hasn't really developed as a player, is a year older, and only contributed a small amount to their team.

superdimitri

Stuggart fans seem to rate him as a squad player but they think they have our pants down for the fee.
Their manager is heavily focusing on youth which explains his involvement there.
He's probably a bit better than Anthony.

superdimitri

I've thought ever since he joined that the best role for Koleosho would be as wing back with 3 at the back. He has all the attributes that the best in that role have in terms of pace, stamina and work rate. He'd be easily exploitable defensively but that would improve as he got more experience and ...

superdimitri

Pointless argument. Most of our players would be dropped if we were basing it on whether they were good enough at this level. If Anthony was up to it Bournemouth wouldn't have shipped him out. If Koleosho was he would have done well in the championship. Both will struggle just the same as all our pl...

Steve Kean

superdimitri

Very attacking fullback by the sounds of things. Could we be preparing the go with wing backs at times this season? To be honest it scares me. That's why I posted before I feel he's only going to be useful if we attack. There's going to be so many games next season where we will be pinned back and ...

superdimitri

It would be a coup considering the other clubs interested. We'd need to actually attack to get the best from him though.

superdimitri

Hopefully he handles this role better than he could handle a ball.

superdimitri

Gaps too big to expect anything next year. I'd pocket the prize money and go in with a young squad with the aim to be promoted back in 26-27 and give it a good go in 27-28 instead. Staying in the Premier League has to be a long project with the same manager. It's too risky spending too much and fail...

superdimitri

You can see what Manchester United saw in him. Very nifty and is surprisingly quick. Reads the game well. Very limited range of passing but he makes up for it in other areas. He encourages players to make runs and open play around him.

superdimitri

Hamer is easily wound up. Time for some top level shithousary.
Unlike our players, they should totally fall for it ala Watford.

superdimitri

Let's not forget the true big name stars they signed such as Salgado, Gabbi and Murphy.

Clearly they made the most out of all their prize money.

superdimitri

He played some cup games for the club he supports. Can't really blame him for that, especially when he would be earning a good wage doing it.
Best handling I've seen from any Burnley keeper. Could pluck a 100mph shot out the air and hold on to it.

superdimitri

I was impressed with Fowler when I saw him a few years back. He's at Stockton now but scored a lot of goals at that level.
Still only 23.

superdimitri

Just watched it back. We're incredibly frustrating to watch when chasing a game. Left it far too late to make a difference. Credit to Derby who had us in their pocket almost all game.

superdimitri

Don't agree when they compare Gnonto and James to Edwards.
Edwards is the far better player. Clear premier league quality.
Those two are probably peak struggling premier league/top championship players.

Only a matter of time now until we overtake them, Sheffield United probably will too!

superdimitri

I think we're are reading into it a bit too much. The cup is low priority so we leave our best for the league. The last thing we need is to play another game and against Aston Villa and get our asses handed to us such is the gap in quality. And Villa will be taking it very seriously to bring their f...

superdimitri

Either everyone posting here is massively overrating our players or they are underrating the Premier League. We may have 1 or 2. Most players we have are fringe Premier/top championship talents which says a lot about the gap in quality. If Anthony was premier league quality would he have been loaned...

superdimitri

I'd say its more about keeping him fit than whether he is regarded good enough for the championship or premier league.
He hasn't had a run in the team to prove himself because he always gets injured.

superdimitri

<t>Proper Brighton fans that supported the club when they played at Withdean and Priestfield deserve the success. <br/> It's the new fans that suddenly became Brighton supporters after they became Falmer FC that generally are idiots. <br/> <br/> They have a lot of fans of other Premier League teams ...

superdimitri

Full backs are back in fashion. It's become more useful like it used to be to have players that can defend and head the ball in those positions. That was always the case until the noughties when more attacking players were more common! Your Lee Dixon's and Gary Nevilles of old would be obsolete a fe...

superdimitri

The fact the ref was so bad today makes it better.
He gave them everything, sometimes even when they fouled us.
It got so bad they were able to repeatedly foul without any punishment.

superdimitri

I thought it was Mr shake hands on banzai.

superdimitri

This Cantwell referee fella has turned up in blue and white instead of black.. what's going on?

superdimitri

Can we have episode 2 of the Barnes YouTube special now?

superdimitri

442 is too advantageous with the way Parker wants to control possession. Apart from a few minutes here and there I don't think he's ever lined his teams up that way.

superdimitri

He was sick of their full back being an ass and the ref letting him get away with it. Lost it in a moment. It happens. We move on, it's really not a bad thing to have these dirty players in your team. Every good side has one.

superdimitri

Can we play Roberts up front? He's the only one that looks like he's trying to score.

superdimitri

Team talk at half time needs to be about basics.
Do the basics right.
Show composure.
Make better decisions.

Save the worldies for when we are 2 or 3 up.

superdimitri

Esteve is more likely to make it against better opposition due to his pace.
Egan-Riley will struggle against good opposition but in a low block set up against good opposition he'll do decent.

To be a top defender now you need pace too.

Not sure that's true. Wasn't Taylor well known for his crossing to Chris Wood at Leeds.

I heard that too, and then he came to us and didn't really have an end product offensively.
Love Taylor in defence mind.

superdimitri

Was a weird one with him and Taylor. Taylor always looked a bit more progressive going forwards but Pieters always had better attacking figures. It wasn't weird at all. Pieters could cross. Taylor couldn't. I still remember his peach vs Southampton. https://youtu.be/vTdC-P7Gzgg?si=QPVGPF2ijBBLVbtl

I saw Barnes as very technical. He had a great first touch that allowed him to strike a ball really cleanly at times too.

superdimitri

He let so much go the Derby players knew they could block with their hands and foul at every opportunity with no repercussions.
Meanwhile we didn't have the nous to take advantage of it and get more bodies into the box to fall over.

superdimitri

He's always marked by two men. Once he's not seen as our main threat it should be a lot easier for him. Apart from Anthony our players have a terrible knack of not looking up before they make a pass and he needs to change that along with others. It was a certain goal yesterday if Hannibal played a e...

superdimitri

Last of a dying breed. Those that liked him probably valued the old school methodology of having a striker, a purebred of the poacher fold. His all round game on the ball aside from finishing was poor but he knows where to be when it matters and his off the ball movement was sometimes good despite h...

Hopefully the next Kim.

superdimitri

It's amazing what can happen if you get the ball in the opponents box.

superdimitri

Pires seems like the only player that knows how to create a goal.

superdimitri

Poor decision making when we have the ball. Players not on the same page.

superdimitri

A lot better than before but we have been spoiled with terrible performances which make today look fantastic. We should aim to do better against a team we know that only scored two goals at home all season. We threw more at them then usual but we let ourselves down with terrible corners and bad deci...

Ball goes out of play after injury time and ref doesn't blow? Seriously.

I mean you're not going to win when you're attacking sub is Josh Laurant. No offence to him but he's not an attacking player. They've looked more threatening than us since he's come on.

If I was a West Brom fan I'd think we're bound to concede after this many corners. Luckily for them we're absolutely pants at scoring from them.

superdimitri

Desperately need more attacking options on the bench. Can't wait for all our wingers to return.
