You've done better than the rest of us considering he hasn't played 60+ games for us.
I would suggest of his 57 games you have not seen one live!

Has he gone yet? 
Sorry, my bad. Should have clarified that winning against AFC Muppingham in the Cabbage Cup has no real impact on whether I think Moder is a good PL player or not.
In the league, we're talking a win percentage of 29% (17 wins out of 57).
Moder started 6 games in the league last season. We scored 1 goal (and two own goals).
Moder started 20 games in 2021/22. We scored 14 goals in those.
Moder started 7 games in 20/21. We scored 8 goals.
Aside from the odd win/team performance here and there, Brighton has never been functional with Moder in the team.
The way people talk about him is like its some kind of 20-year-old super talent just waiting to get the chance to score a bunch of goals. Its quite beyond me why people can't see what I've seen and what CLEARLY Hurzeler has seen.

Gets into great positions, good pace, but can’t finish

At the time he got injured and when he got back in the team you could say the same about most Albion players in fairness. Barn door Billys in both cases. Harsh to single Moder out when the forwards were also misfiring.
Not really, he’s been like that since joining, but really he was/is a faster Lallana without the skill level

Have a look at Albion’s midfield goal scorers at the time he was in the team, none including Gross scored many. 1 if any seems to be the total of most over a season pre injury.
I may be alone here but I’d like to see him get a run of games under FH
Potter gave Moder more than enough chances and he didn't take them. Maybe - probably - things would have developed better for him without that injury. But the injury happened and he doesn't have the level of skill to compensate for the lost time.
He was a poor PL player with the potential to become a good one when he got injured. Now he's a poor PL player, 25 and unlikely to bypass the level of "ok". He has no future with us and probably not in the Premier Leauge either.

See my post above yours
Bit unfair though giving the playing style was being changed under Potter.
You can only judge what’s in front of you and he seemed to miss relatively straightforward chances IMO. Simply don’t rate him.
As for Gross was that the time he was injured?
Would you have him over Buononotte?

No, I have man love for Facundo
How is it unfair to compare Moder‘s scoring record when the playing style was being changed under Potter, most of the midfielders were Barn Door Billy’s ? His shots looked better than most imo, some very narrow misses and very few rugby conversions that many of them came up with!
Sadly I fear I’ll not have the opportunity to say “told you so”!

Reminder to Moder and WBG - don't score or play a blinder against England at Wembley or you'll be out on your ear at Brighton!

Is that similar to Ashley Barnes penalties not counting as real goals?
I sensed that re Buononotte, and would definitely agree, some distance ahead of Moder (and O’Riley if we sign him).
Edit - amended for you

Not me.Did you offer to drive Ashley to Burnley?
Wasn’t that Mr Burns?
I liked him, bit of edge with some goals, nothing wrong with that.
I will hold my hands up to being delighted about CMS and Will Hoskins (Hoskins was just unlucky).
Bit harsh on Moder too. For all his detractors on here, I've never once seen suggestions that he wasn't giving 100%.
Wouldn’t disagree, it was more the level of performance
