Time for Darlow to be dropped I think.

Don't get me wrong, I think he's been great for most of the season, but players should largely be picked on form, and he's made quite a few mistakes recently and it's clear that his positioning and reading of the game is his weakness.

Time for Elliot to have a run of games.

 

Thought was defenders fault today. Was no need to try head back to keeper, forward wasn't getting on end of it.

Guess depends if there was any kind of call though

 

It wasn't just the one that lead to the 2nd goal mate he's been suspect on his positioning for a while now and he's often late to read the game and collect/challenge for the ball.

 

I think Elliott is the best keeper we have so on that basis he should be in the starting line up. You don't want to drop keepers if they are playing well, but Darlow isn't so I agree make the change for the next game.

As for the clanger today, Darlow was more at fault than Dummett IMHO. It was nothing compared to his air kick last week though. That was criminal.

 

Matz Sels was dropped after his antics were costing us points sadly it has to happen to Darlow now, he's an absolute liability right now.

 

I **** my pants every time he is passed the ball.
He also seems to go 'walkabout'.

 

I just don't think darlow communicate s with dummet. He should be screaming keepers if he is coming out for it. But to be honest dummet hadn't it covered and he should be about 10 yards back. He gets a rush of blood to the head.

 

We really need to drop Dummett. And Colback. And Perez.

 

True but who can we bring in?

 

Okay, I can take a hint. I'll get my boots dubbined and I'll get there early for Tuesday.

 

We looked a far better side once Colback went off. Dummett is just a disaster waiting to happen. Perez....I cannot remember a single decent thing he did yesterday.

 

its more of a keeper fault i thought ..the defender has no time ..darlow was in a stupid place and had more time to position himself, read things, or be vocal ..

just my view elliot was no 1 anyway before he got injured.

time for the lad to be given a chance and see what happens

 

Well, I would say Haidara!! But failing that Lazaar! So that is Dummett replaced.

Colback - replace him with Hayden or Anita or Barlaser (in fact any ****er)

Perez - either play Murphy up top with Mitro or play Diame.

 

Is Hayden back for Brighton? If so replace Colback with him immediately! And Anita should be fit, so get him straight in the team too.

Big changes needed - Darlow, Colback, Dummett and Perez out and Elliott, Hayden, Anita and Murphy in.

 

Hayden just had an operation last week so I doubt he'll be available for a while.

Despite his shortcomings, Dummett is our best left back so I don't understand all the calls for him to be dropped, especially when he's in decent form.

 

Got to replace him now really. He's had a good run and been allowed 3 or 4 errors leading to goals.

 

It's odd. Why have we loaned out krul. He would be ok in the championship.

 

His distribution. Rafa doesn't rate him apparently.

 

He is a bit long ball though. Must admit I don't see a future here for him. And Rafa is really big on footballing sweeper keepers. Always has been.

 

He just pumps it long all the time. I remember the whole bench under Pardew becoming very frustrated when he refused to play out. I got absolutely sick of it, he was doing it whether under pressure or not. You have got to be smart enough to realise you have possession - pumping it just makes it 50/50. I was taught that at about 8yrs old.
