Depends, if the team play to win but don't then c'est la vie, my issue is if the team go to Cardiff, a Championship team in the wrong division, and play not to lose but still do then what's the point?
I could ask the same of you.
Do you honestly think Hughton tells his team, away from home, go out there and win?
Or do you expect him to say something like 'try not to lose'.
The facts surroundings our away records suggests you are being naive in the extreme if you think CH demands victories...
True but only to a point.
What's the point of playing football?
Sure we can kid ourselves a point away from home is decent, or worst still 'oh losing 2-0 at City is a good result', but the bottom line is the Albion are playing a Championship team run by a Championship manager.
If the team...
No way, when we go down 1-0 I want us to defend even further back.
Reality is working out too well for me at the moment, the last thing I need is NSC going quiet as well. :lol:
No, if we don't take a point we run the risk of losing 1-0 having set out to defend for 90 minutes.
You're forgetting there's an international break, next week, if the Albion take a point or god forbid 3 this place will be like the Marie Celeste next week.
