Well there's more of us than him so there's bound to be some conflicting opinion, but I'm willing to bet you can't find anyone on here who wanted Knight as captain and very few (if any) who thought Ngog was the reincarnation of Lionel MessiBWFC_Insane wrote:"We" are also now telling him he was wrong to leave Knight out of the team.....Harry Genshaw wrote:To sum up;

Probably when Coyle tried signing him... Which tells you everything you need to know about the lads' ability..bobo the clown wrote:Re. Trotter .... the great man sayeth ; - "But you’ve seen in the past that he’s a good acquisition and that he’ll get better but this wasn’t his day”.

Seriously?
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

We certainly didn't fancy Mason. Given as how he didn't believe in 4-4-2 and the Mason we had in the first window had proven to be utterly fckg useless in the formation of that time.Bruce Rioja wrote:Are we?

Jutkiewicz .... no-one new enough about him to express an opinion. But it made little sense to select a player to hold up the ball when the manager had suggested that wasn't how he wanted to play.
Knight ..... yep, he'd slipped from all our radar, Mills, Ream and Wheater were better bets. Certainly Dawson was if only we could get him. There's a big shout feel Baptiste would be too if he hadn't sworn & hoped to die he wouldn't play him there. To Knight's enormous credit he's buckled down and played pretty well these past 6 or 8 games so dropping him seemed a tad odd. Clearly it was to facilitate playing Hutton.
Trotter ..... a total mystery as to why we got him in.

I'm not going to pretend I know more about tactics and formations than a pro football manager. However think we'd all agree that if we hit on something that's successful and looks good then it should be changed as little as possible. Not Dougie it seems.bobo the clown wrote:We certainly didn't fancy Mason.

Re: Grand my arse, up the Whites! - Brighton (H) 15/3/14
Exactly. So no-one ever said that Freedman shouldn't sign the front two, nor tell him, ever, under any circumstances that it's ever wrong to leave Knight out. Still, as BWFC-I says, seemingly without a scintilla of irony, that it's "Easy for fans to shift opinions as time goes on and pretend they've been right all along about everything."bobo the clown wrote:We certainly didn't fancy Mason.

Anyone with eyesight marginally better than Stevie fecking Wonder, could've told him that 6 bastard weeks ago when he picked the team. That beggars belief.

Tbf six weeks before Brighton was 1 Feb, the day after he signed him, so it probably made sense to chuck him straight in.
In a world that has decided
