That's ahead of him, no? I agree, I'm not saying blindly trust the manager. But when no one has actually seen Obikwu play it's a pointless discussion. I don’t think Wright is performing at the level of someone like Waghorn, who was truly useless. I’d give him more time.

Also, I don't think change for change's sake is necessarily the answer. I'm pretty sure even when we were winless in our first 11 last year MR stuck by the 5212 and Godden/Vik kept their places.

So you’ve seen YouTube bits and bobs.Robins sees him daily in training alongside the other strikers. I wonder who has a more informed opinion on who should be playing. I’m sure it would also be fantastic for Wright’s morale to see a 19 year old with 0 professional experience playing ahead of him.

Have you ever actually seen Obikwu kick a ball?

Yes Jodi wasn’t good enough

By that logic we should give Sky Blue Sam 15 mins off the bench, after all we don’t know if he’s good enough until we give him a try.

Right, thought he’d said something specific. But agreed, he seems like a top bloke and you can see why he gets the most out of players.

What did he say?

I’ve not, unless they arrived in todays post.

No. But most of the discussion here is lazy, centred on their lack of performance and with the benefit of hindsight.

But the reason we don’t look like profiting right now is they’re not performing, which obviously wasn’t the intention. If you’re going to criticise the “model” you need to critique the intentions, not the outcomes.

No idea what you’re prattling on about at this point.

Why would we sit on the cash? Again, there would’ve been widespread outrage if we didn’t spend after selling our best players. If we could reliably sign £10-£20m quality players for £1-2m we would have the best scouting department in the world. Get a grip.

Explain? We sold our two best players (unavoidable when they were both on their last contracted year) and reinvested the money. What are you suggesting we should have done? Not spent it?

So what are you suggesting we should have done? Spent less? Then moaning myrtles like you would be shitting the forum up with posts about how King pocketed the cash from our sales! And we have been incrementing it. With the exception of Wright our signings are 2,3,4m instead of the 0-2m we...

So what on earth are you talking about “models” for then? Aren’t the signings of Hamer and Vik in line with the model? You’re not happy that we’re not winning games. Fine. But stop trying to apportion blame for it because your logic is clearly lacking.

So you’re suggesting we don’t follow this model? You want us not to sign cheap players?

To get this thread back on track, can someone define what exactly the “Brighton/Brentford model” is?

“Decided”? Do you actually think they’ve both decided not to contribute? “Yeah mate might just move to the championship and tank my career for the banter”
