Worth a quid at 25/1 on him going to Palace?

Not this!

In this case probably not - March had a specific job to do in the defensive set up of two banks of four, and it would have required quite a re-shuffle to do this. Probably, if he'd been fit, Baldock would have been better suited to the task that Hemed - but still only if he started from the half...

Actually, more likely to win the ball on the half way line; fewer players there. And more likely to get to a ball played into space in the opponent's half if he's starting out from 20 yards closer to it.

Didn't somebody try to do that at the fans' forum? Personally I too would like to see one player left up the field, but I accept it ain't going to happen. Absolutely 100% behind CH all the way, brilliant manager for us and I want him to stay regardless of how well we do this season - but I...

Nine bodies in the box (plus the keeper) is plenty! No problem with CH setting up defensively - would have been pretty silly to attempt anything else against Citeh. Leaving Tomer alone up front isn't ideal, as he isn't the fastest, but he would have had a better chance if his starting point for...

I would regard that as a very silly idea.

Everybody else who is discussing this is very happy with Hughton as our manager - it's a bit disingenuous to try and twist the comments any other way. It in no way invalidates the view of some people that we would like to see a fast player left upfield at corners.

Discussion wasn't about Citeh, it was about us. Citeh played three at the back (well, up around the half way line really), we didn't. So, Citeh played differently to us - that isn't the point when discussing our tactics.

No comparison. City had better players (faster, stronger, more skilful) in almost every position than our team (sorry lads, just saying) so it doesn't really matter what they did. I'm a huge Hughton fan, I rate him as a fantastic manager for us, nobody else I'd rather have........but, like many...

No it isn't, really. Leaving a player up is not part of CH's philosophy - to my mind, that's his Achilles heel, but hey, he's doing a great job, so you'll get no complaints about him from me. Even if we keep losing (which I don't think we will). I rest my case............... Oh, and no...
