Agreed but are they an example of what happens when you get your players in early, allow them time to get to know each others play. This has allowed them to gather a very nice six points. I just wonder how long it is going to take our signings to start playing as a team and how long before we have six points on the board.

Any chance of not criticising the manager and his recruitment staff and just letting them get on with the job of building a squad they have a chance of competing in this league? Because let's face it, they will know a hell of a lot more than you, me or anyone else on here what/who works or not.
I HONESTLY thought the close season was the time to take a break from NSC – or these threads at least – but no, it seems the ideal moment is after two league defeats against teams that will finish WAAAAAY above the Albion.

Correct, because there would be at least 18 other free agent managers floating around.
That's just drivel though. It's not about the top 6 but the rest of teams. Please do bounce this as i think you have spectacularly got it wrong. Our approach to games in this league will virtually be 11 men behind the ball home or away no matter who the opponents are

Huddersfield would not have had 6 points on 'the board' if they had played Manchester City and Leicester. Let's not be misled.
I think some of your fans are being a bit harsh, you played City at home which was a free hit. You then play Leicester away, another difficult match. I suspect most teams in the Prem outside the top 8 would look at a one point return from those two games as being a good result.
One of the tricky things about being promoted is that you go from being a largely successful team, used to picking up at least a point away, to one scrapping for an away point and being happy with it. It can take a while getting used to it.
The important thing is not to let it get to you, Chris seems to have a good understanding with the players and his experience of the Prem will be invaluable. This season will be very tough as there isn't the 'obvious' team who are looking to go down. But don't mark your card on two games.

A +34 goal difference last season would point to CH being a manager that can give it a go. I can understand the caution in the first games tho. Maybe he is aware of the lack of fire power, and so is playing to the strengths of the squad available. With the two latest signings, defence might swing more in favour of attack now.

Tell you what. As you're so insistent about who we should sign, how we should be performing and where we're going wrong (!), why don't you contact Tony Bloom, submit a job spec. and your C.V., insist on an interview to take over Chris Hughton's role. You never know you might be successful.
A word of warning though, if you are successful in being appointed I would lay off reading NSC for a bit, your words might come back to haunt you.

I'm sorry, but I don't think with the two performances we have played. we look very disjointed and I for one would doubt we would have got those results against Palace and Newcastle'

We look likely to have an attack looking like this and people are complaining?

We've gone from looking very slow and one dimensional to now, in just a few days, looking like with have electric speed upfront and on the wings, with 2 centre midfielders capable of utilising the teams pace with killer through balls when we're on the counter, we're going to be much more exciting to watch now. This is such an exciting time for the club. We have a lot of potential through the squad. How is anyone complaining? Besides, I remember transfer windows when players like Nathan Elder and Alex Revell were our big signings. This right now is an incredible time to be an Albion fan. Soak it all up. Think of all those fans in the lower leagues dreaming their club could do what we're doing right now. That was us not too long ago.

Seriously all the threads you've either started or commented on, is just sheer misery. Go and support someone else if we're so shit.

Ronaldo didn't have any when he was signed by Man Utd (only played 25 games in total for sporting), and what about Vardy, Mahrez, etc. I remember Veron being a high profile player with world cup experience signed for a transfer record, Man Utd "knew" what they were getting there.......
What are those two doing now. Akpom really made me angry with his lack of effort. It will be interesting to see where he ends up
