    I would say Redmond is one of the more consistent players in our squad. Playing unremarkable football with amazing consistency for a year now.

    We beat West Brom 1-0! What second goal are you on about?

    MP 2 has pretty much got the defence sorted. In fact we are spoilt for choice. That's a good place to start to improve other elements of the team. Much rather that than Klopps style of defending.

    I think MP 2 is getting improvements out of the team and is taking more gambles going forward. This is the type of game we can squeeze a win.

    Incidentally MP 1 record in his first nine games matches MP 2. 3 losses, 3 draws, 3 wins. Arguably against tougher opposition MP 1 had DLDWLLDWW. His 10th game was a 0-2 win away at Reading. Hopefully MP 2 10th game will be the same.

    If MP 2 ends up being anywhere as good as MP 1 then we have some good times ahead.

    I can only base my opinions on matches I have seen him play. Didn’t see west brom so can’t comment on his performance.

    Take my word for it, he’s improved 100% since the Newcastle match.

    Which is exactly how I felt until I saw him in the WBA game, but that performance gave the lie to those of us who thought he couldn’t be arsed any more. I accept he still wants to leave and is playing for the market, but at least we’ll get the benefit of his skill until he goes.

    But that's the same lineup we've been playing for the past year! I'd be very disappointed in the manager if he doesn't change things







    (although I don't think my displeasure will be uppermost in his mind)

    I think Virgil is not so much playing for the market as he is playing for his team mates. I expect he is doing his best because he won't let his friends down....when he plays he is in the zone. Perhaps we are underestimating the effect of a long lay off followed by a change in manager. If the transfer saga has an effect on performance, I think it will be subliminal rather than deliberate. I doubt it is occupying his thoughts whilst he plays but may just be taking the fire from his belly.

    I was just dotting a few i's and crossing a few t's when I had that one left over and did know what to do with it so I put it there so that I can come back and collect it should I need it.

    I’ve never driven up to the Amex on a game day, so no idea on that one. You can park in and around Brighton and get the train, but parking will cost a bomb.

    I can't help myself sometimes. You left an open goal.

    He's not nearly as consistent in his mediocrity as you are in your negativity. At least he scores now and again, and puts in a fair few assists.
