Apparently our deadball delivery was shocking. Why on earth is Danny Holla not even in the squad, he is far and away our best corner and free kick taker.

You can fail to be impressed by Hughton as much as you like, that's your prerogative, but I challenge any manager to come in and produce a silk purse out of this sow's ear of a squad.

I really don't understand why Hughton thinks Best should start ahead of O'Grady, or that Holla didn't even make the bench, or that KLL didn't get 10 mins.

Stelling reports we were the only game in England and Wales without a goal.

I see your point. However, Blackpool and Charlton scored 4 and 3 respectively as well. It seems each game we see the starting line-up and we all say "I like the sound of that", "that looks nice and attacking" and then the inevitable happens.

Hughton knows he has inherited a crap squad and has to muddle through until a massive overhaul in the summer.

Permission to plagarise that fantastic phrase "shit puffin" to describe us at the moment.

Agreed, and grinding out bore draws and nicking 3pts where we can is probably the template for the rest of the season now. Risky, and relies on others around us being dismal, but he doesn't really have any other options open to him at the moment.

Could be because Best is Hughton's favourite and trying to prove the point any signing selected by Burke is not quite good enough in this division ?

On his last warning
My only worry with Hughton is how he managed Norwich. The fans thought he was very negative with his tactics.
Looks like we might get the same.

Hughton isn't petty
Agree with that - he was getting better every game and was adding shots and goals to excellent hold up play. Hard to see why such an in form player is dropped. If Best was a prolific goal scorer and getting 2 or 3 on a regular basis then that would be a reason, but it isn't exactly like that

Is a case of inherently negative, or just tactics to squeeze out as many points as possible with a very average squad? Norwich were never going to tear up the Premier League, were they?

They did well under Lambert.

Yes, our squad is poor, but it becomes worse when Hughton decides to play full backs in midfield, strikers on the wing and Leon bloody Best up front. I don't understand why we have never even tried letting Baldock form a partnership up front with COG, it seems so obvious.
Unfair. Tex had more possession than any other Albion player at 5.4%. For the second game running (usually this is Holla). He bound to make more mistakes. I think I would have replaced him at 67 minutes with Kazenga though.

I think the pitch worked against the Albion style of passing out from the back. And where was Holla ? He should be in the squad and probably in the team.

They did well under Hughton in his first season, too, when he kept Norwich in the premier league.
It's not how much possession you have it's what you do with the ball. Apparently not very much and often the wrong option or loss of the ball (according to the radio), stats can be misleading.
He has one very good game and then several poor ones IMO.
