I can't accept Josh Parker slander after how well he played in the play-off final, link-up play was crucial and more than played his part in the most important game of our season
Yeah, Hemed is a fair comparison. But Parker, despite not scoring, contributed a lot more than Bonne has managed this time around. To be fair though, Parker was signed to support and be a foil for Taylor, not to carry the front line on his own. Had he been expected to do the job being asked of Bonne I doubt held have done better.
In fact, you might say Bonne hasn't been the same since he lost Taylor as a partner.
Hemed was a class footballer who we signed significantly in to his terminal decline. We took a punt that he could cut it as a bit part player at a lower level. Parker was a competent if unremarkable journeyman who we brought in on the cheap to do us a short-term turn. Bonne is neither competent nor class. He is a dreadful footballer who made the most of a big break but got found out very quickly by successive clubs, one of which unaccountably spent a lot of money on him. There is no comparison between the three. Our recruitment department should be sacked for re-signing him. His return was the last straw for my interest for the time being.

definately a comparison to be made between Parker and Bonne, neither are capable of scoring goals.
Remember when the Hemed transfer took ages to go through and most were very happy when it did. Funny how things work out.
Yes. Supporters have short memories when things don't work out. Was reading an article about Messi and the complete failure of the PSG project. Fans think now it was a terrible signing, as if they were against it from day one, when in fact they loved the move at the time and they practically had a public event for the signing. Fans are full of crap much of the time when it comes to club moves they support at the time and then claim later they were against all along.

Honestly was excited when Kayal and Hemed signed , saw them as 2 experienced championship players that could really contribute.
Got that horribly wrong!
I was excited because I thought we'd adopt the song that Brighton fans sang about them - which was "Israeli men, hallellulah, Israeli men" (to the tune of 'Its Raining Men').
Standing there moaning that the ball didn’t come to him from that Campbell cross whilst the ball was still rolling along the line is absolutely unforgivable.
Good luck to him for the goal but please god don’t let that fool anyone that he is an option for next season. And what about the the gloves, it is April and 12 degrees ffs!!!!!
I really don’t mean to pick on the bloke but that ball fortuitously dropped to him seven yards out with only the GK to beat. My old mum would have scored that. Glad he tucked it away but
We don’t seem like crossing into him/leaburn too much, which may have hindered his success this time arround
I could have scored that and I’m nearly sixty and very overweight. Good finish my arse.
No, you couldn't. I don't know why people say stuff like this. It's a decent goal. He has a shot drilled into his feet that he isn't expecting to hit him, turns and then puts it past the keeper. It's what you'd want a striker to do in that situation, and it's what most of ours haven't done this season. I get that he's made you sad because he hasn't been very good but there's no need to demean one of our players when he actually does something good.

These factors are usually linked to desire,motivation and will to win.

Alas, we got no song - and we got no goals.
Leaburn, Kanu and Rak Sakyi is definitely an option and I hope we see this 3 up front in a few games.
