Seol

[mahoj002]

for fffffffffffffffffouk sake. im fed up of there always being a seol thread on how lazy he is and how he has no passion. we all no hes got the ability and booing him and slagging him off on a forum wont give him confidence and wont help get the best out of him. last night he didnt have a good game and hasnt since charlton but all we can do is support the team and seol even if he is playing crap. copple wouldnt spend £1.5 million on a player if he wasnt worth the money he spent. the wins against west ham and sheffield utd were very important and if we had lost them we could be in the religation spots. so my final word.......... shut the fcuk up about seol

[Only one Trevor Morley]

Just highlighting the short memorys people have. THis is the same brilliant Seol from earlier in the season, what a buy this lad is?!!!

This is a bloke that has talent, he's shown it. He's hardly played in ages due to the form of others and it hasn't worked out for him recently. All players go through dips in form/confidence. Look at Lita, DLC, Harper, Hahnemann etc etc etc

no reason to 'get rid now' of a player that has had a positive effect on our season.

Seol didn't have a great game tonight did he deserve barracking from his own fans? Sometimes our 'fans' need to be told to F*ck Off.

Booing players will not improve thier performance when people get that in their heads and start supporting people you'll see an up turn in form.

I remember being called a 'fcuking idiot, and he won't do anything' when suggesting quite forcefully that Lita should be on the pitch at Portsmouth earlier in the season. I love our 'fans' truly do, absolute bunch of fickle pricks.

(not aimed at anyone on here)

Lita's always had the talent, nobody doubted that - now he's putting the effort in and doing the business. Seol has the talent, but he's even lazier than Lita was and if I spend a good £50 travelling back and watching the game and see some moron show the fans and the manager absolutely no respect then I'll tell the tosser what I think of him.

It really is a shame that you seem unable to channel your strongly held views in a positive way. Why is it when there is a decent performance you have to focus on the negative. It happens every time. And as soon as someone dares to criticise you start getting more and more entrenched in your views. Your main failing (and there are many to choose from) is that you seem to think that when a player isnt on the top of his game its down to laziness and that as soon as someone starts to play better it because they are putting more effort in. Alas this simplistic view ignores the facts, but then thats something you are used to doing on a frighteningly regular basis.

Quite frankly paying £50 for travel and the ticket doesnt entitle you to hold such negative views. Paying money doesnt mean you are entitled to do anything - particularly when you are so dense. I'm sure we'd all rather you keep you money in your pocket and leave your negativity at Bournemouth Uni...........

I can't help but think a lot of the criticism aimed is based on his demeanor, which ultimately represents nothing.

He wasn't bad last night, but he wasn't great.

And he could have at least jogged off at the end.

Seol's style is 'languid'.
Unfortunately his 'langud' style really doesnt suit a position far up the pitch in a team on the counter attack - which we've been playing quite a lot of recently. He's behind Hunt and Little, because Glen is just, well, great, whereas Hunt IS the kind of player you want in a counter attacking team.

Sadly for Seol, the last two times we've seen him, he's been in games against United where we've required some pace up front and he just hasnt the goods to perform in that sort of situation. He's also the one man we've played out of position when our strikers pick up knocks.

I still think Ive seen enough for him to be a useful player at this level, but I dont rate him as a cup player and he has been the weak link in the United games.

But he wasnt responsible for our loss last night - you have to look 50 yards further back down the pitch for that.

As for booing him, I think H and P's comment of 'What are you? 12?' just about sums it up.
And as for not shaking Coppell's hand - really, who cares?

[zac naloen]

Seol seemed disinterested last night. He isn't putting the effort in that we are used too from players (which he did so at the beginning of the season).


He's not too blame for what happened last night, after all it was his ball that led to our first goal. But he's extremely frustrating to watch and does himself no favours and has been that way for me since 5 or 6 matches into the season.

I still reckon he can do a job, but he's going to have to work to get back into the team if his "languid style" as Dr H coined it remains as it is because he just doesnt fit in.

[Dr Hfuhruhurr]

because he just doesnt fit in.

Amen.
I think that above anything else is why Seol isnt in the first team.

As its very hard to see Seol changing his style then you may have to ask when he can get back in the first team. At the start of the season when the team were open to styles and formations, he had a role. Now that we've made a success of the 'close 'em down and run at them' style, (which we'll use until the end of the season, no doubt) its very probable that Seol wont figure again this year, because as you put it 'he doesnt fit in'.

[Yorkshire Royal]

He does have an uncanny ability to disappear off the pitch for large parts, but hardly worth booing. With a fully fit team though, he must be down the pecking order behind Hunt, Convey, Little and Oster all ahead of him.

seol is quality leave him alone

That is the funniest thing I have read for a long time let me get this right, you are saying without SeoLOL we could be in a relegation battle right now! comic genius!

[Pridders]

Not you aswell! You bastard I have just wet myself!

[RG30]

Critisism of Seol has been harsh and way over board. He didn't have a great game last night, but he's been an excellent squad player and was our best player within the 1st few weeks of the season.

He's done well given that fact he's played 3 positions for us and has got a good goal tally/assist to back up his contribution.

What doesn't help is our home crowd constantly looking for the "boo-boy" target. It happened with Hughesy a few years back when Watford spanked us 3-0 in the cup, and pretty soon Seol will get the full treatment.

[Yorkshire Royal]

He is quality but everyone must admit that he just disappears half the time. And he never runs towards the ball. If the pass to him is inch perfect the fair enought, but he doesn't seem to like moving towards the ball. But I'm not slating him, so please don't get all scary on me...

[sotonroyal]

How based on last nights performance could you call him quality? Even in the early stages of the season he would do nothing for vast periods in games, fortunately for him (and us) though he would make the odd telling contribution.

I don't see the problem with booing Seol. I never did to Hughsey as for all his faults (of which there were many) he gave 110% every time he pulled on the hoops. The boo's are merely signs of frustration towards a man who seems devoid of any passion or commitment. The number of times Seol pulled out of 50/50 challenges last night was laughable and he was never interested in running at Brown, who lets face it, he could have had the beating of. I for one was incensed at the way he laboured to leave the pitch at a time when we were starting to put real pressure on United.

If you think the boo's are a sign of plastics then you are very naive indeed. It has and always will happen at every club and based on Seols efforts last night compared to the res of our team, is justified.

[Alan Partridge]

Utter shite was it deserved.

So a player that has had a positive effect on our season and been a part of the most succesful squad in the history of this club deserves to be booed?

The 10,000 hangers on deserve to be booed, told to fcuk off forever.

Bla bla bla I'm a true fan

Where was all this booing coming from because I didn't hear any in B18.

Although I did vent my anger and frustration at Seol many times last night. I'd never boo him though after the impact that he can have on this team and has had already this season.

[aaronrfc]

at the end of the day hes up against little or being played in a less natural position. im sorry but even if he does get he act together i cant see him displacing little. hes just too good. but the booing was a disgrace, i preffered to applaude the fact that the most creative player we have was coming on. if seol's happy to play second string, hes certainly a decent enough player, SSC has got to just get him motivated some how.

Same, not a single Boo heard by me in the North Stand.

[sotonroyal]

You need to read my post again. Just because he has scored a few goals in the early part of the season it does not make him immune from any kind of criticism.

It is easy to take the 'high and mighty' I will never boo my own players approach, but the fact is that Seol does not give a toss about the club that we love as is shown by his continual lack of effort.

Thank Christ somebody on here has a brain.
