Absolutely. International breaks are utter detritus.

Morning Dave - have to agree here. It’s one for Utd and one for everyone else. Hope you’re good pal

Playing the Mbeumo role I guess whilst he’s at AFCON? Bench Casemiro and use him more sparingly to let Mainoo get game time?

Probably Conor Gallagher from Atletico to be honest. Proven at PL level and playing well in Madrid. Plus he fills one of our gaping gaps in midfield.

Especially decked out in a Brighton shirt and scarf 🥸

Exactly this! 😂 I think Minteh over Baleba myself and Anderson from Forest

I still struggle to see precisely what Dalot offers. He’s not a bad crosser, but that seems to be it?!

I think I’ve managed to score me and Ralph tickets for Brighton’s away match at Arsenal on 27/12. That will be his first away league match! I’ll have to go deep undercover as a Utd fan 😂

Absolutely! In my mind we need two quality players per position. Like SAF did. Yankuba Minteh and Antoine Semenyo would be my picks for R and L inside 10 to complement Mbeumo and Cunha. Minteh for Brighton is a fucking monster. Exactly the same pace and power as Mbeumo. Direct!

Morning Dave! We are all definitely on the same page here. Yoro is young and is developing nicely - I don’t want him copping a load of flak from it - I guess it’s the back three collectively shifting across and LWB slotting in to cover if that happens to Amad again. Dalot is a massive concern (shit)

Glad you’re well mate - I’m all good. at least Brighton won so my nephew is happy!

Dalot was shit. Again. He just stood there for the second goal and watched the forest player tap it in. So frustrating!

Exactly this. There seems to be a mental strength and real togetherness building through the squad. It’s really encouraging. Perhaps sign another more natural wingback and use Amad as a second right sided 10? Although his linkup with Mbeumo is becoming potent. Tough one! You good?

😂😂 sorry! A lack of characters didn’t help me explain that as well as I’d hoped!

I know - it’s inexplicable! And totally unacceptable! Somewhere else for definite 👍🏼

I also recognise the season is only 8 league games old! Time will tell

I know that airing thoughts on other clubs’ players can be provocative-that’s not my intent. I’m trying to be objective. I don’t doubt his productivity - he works bloody hard - but he was badged as “the missing piece” of the title winning jigsaw. Not seeing that yet. Not to say it won’t come though!

Not at any of them, no 😂 would love to see the cure - can’t believe I still haven’t! I must be punished…

This is great to hear! When are we going to our first gig together then?! 😁
