strong and stable with me, or...
When you get an endorsement like that, you know you're due a bounce at some point in the future...

Top bouncing 
Not only is he out of his depth, but so are our players, and that's why we're going down.
Do you think maybe it's time to accept that you're not the man you once were, and your finger isn't really on the pulse of football any more?

I have no problem with the bounce. He appears to have changed his tactics a little since I wrote that. He also has 2 new additions to the squad that have improved current players.
This. CH has clearly lost the confidence of the players and should be sacked, to make way for .... Arsene Wenger or Alan Pardew.

Phew. I always have a look at bounced threads to see if I was right. I'm ok with this one.
Actually he hasn't. What possibly has happened, is that with so many new players coming it has taken them time to adapt and do what he wants them to do. In addition because there was so many new players it would have taken him time himself to work out what approach he needs to take with them individually to get the best out of them.

Where did I say we were going down? Also, at the time I said that we did look out of our depth and results were reflecting that-we were being done over by the likes of Bournemouth, Huddersfield and even WBA who we gave their only win in God knows how long. We were the last team they managed 3 points from. We are playing differently now but don't let that stop you being a smartass.

What new players in January played yesterday? Or are you saying the new ones from last August have finally got the message after 6 months?
I do agree that I don't think tactics have changed it's just that the players have upped their game as they have looked at the bench and realised if they get dropped they may not get back in.

I think he should be sacked as we will miss out on Europe.
Where did I say you did?
It's our first season it the PL and we have the second cheapest squad, of course it was going to be difficult. Even if we got relegated (with the second cheapest squad) that wouldn't mean Hughton was out of his depth in the PL.
Yes we are, for several reasons, but Hughton going from not good enough to excellent isn't one of them.
Nothing's going to stop that. More to the point, are you just going to admit you got it wrong?
You must have a pretty shallow life to dig this up. I heard lots of posts are being dug up by the small cock brigade.
Now I said he MAY not be the one as we were so defensive and that pissed off a lot of people. Recently, he has been a lot more attack minded and we have reaped the benefits.
So I was right you CJTC keyboard warrior tit.
I am on about the August signings. Players like Propper, Isquierdo, and Schellotto, who wasn't previously a regular starter. They all came with talent but CH has a certain expectancy of what he wants from them and what their roles are within his set up and how he wants them to contribute to a team performance. The same happened with Dunk when he first arrived. There was some bad decision making on his part and it took about a year to iron them out. Dunky is now a super player.
Isquierdo, I saw some awful performances from him but now he defends and attacks because the Manager has probably worked out what he needs on an emotional level to get him to produce on a more consistent basis and he probably was more needy in terms of settling into a new country. Propper was probably the easiest to integrate because his game is simpler and it was more about just instilling a disciplined role for him.
Gross was the only one who really hit the ground running.

Hahahaha you've actually deluded yourself that you were right, somehow. CH probably read your ill-informed opinion and it changed his mindset. That'll be it.
Didn't you have a cry at my childish insult in your last message? Yeah, you did. Mate at least I have a cock, rather than just being one.
Upped their game, OR through their newly gained experience of the PL lost the fear factor of most opponents?

Upped their game. Murray is now scoring and not if side any where near add much as he was obviously the first half of the season. Stephens is now paying more consistently, I know he had good stats for this but it was his passes that put us in trouble that were the issue, again less if those. Propper, yes probably more familiar with English/premier league now. Izquierdo and Schelotto the same.
At the end of the day it is all good, whatever has charged.
Raw nerve touched.
Yep, my life is in tatters
