Why am I still seeing Derbyshire in the starting lineup? Its obvious Clarke- Harris is the goalscorer and Derbyshire has had chance after chance to prove himself to no avail. I simply can't understand those who defend him.
Sounds like we had a go at the finish but too little too late. We've got some decent players but if we have 30-35% possession and one shot on goal for every three they have we're going to struggle. I hope we don't get a post match interview saying that Brighton were hanging on, we were unfortunate and so on. Sounds to me like the reality is we could have been buried by half time. I'm not over-reacting but the manager needs to have a proper look at how we are looking to play and what we are trying to do. I'm fearful for us.
I just think we have gone too negative since coming up.
It doesnt make sense to try and shut the game down and hope for a winner in the last 20 minutes.
We cant shut the shop up for 70 for a start.
... and the fact Evans still employs this tactic, even at ****ing home games, is his second biggest failing. When we attack we cause issues, surprise surprise... and we can't afford the players at this level to be able to rely on defending - so we should fight for every ball, press and play attacking football on the ground. We will get stuffed doing this a few times but at least we will win some.
His biggest failing is getting rid of decent players and replacing them with 12 worse ones, and talking bull**** about doing one thing and actually doing the opposite (i.e. quality over quantity)
If we draw or lose Saturday he simply has to go (if he's not gone to Posh by then to avoid the issue), whatever we do next it cannot be worse.
After all tonight's understandable negativity, I hope our mate Zippy (John Norris) has had a fantastic night, no-one deserves it more, top bloke & an incredible fan!!!
