"Leon on… Chris Hughton
“It was a completely different structure under Chris. He was more cautious and wanted to make us harder to beat but we weren’t really focused on scoring goals. I think he thought that if we shut up shop and try to gamble on a chance and nick a goal then we could win 1-0...
I agree it's not a binary choice between players are crap or manager is crap.... But it is a binary choice between sit and do nothing after months of poor performances and results or do something.
At just about any other club, I think he'd be gone already.... The cup run, where except...
Nobody could argue about his character, he is and possibly always will be the nicest guy to manage the club. But it is clear to see, both the negative and unchanging tactics that are fruitless on the road and more so now at home. We're sinking fast and ultimately the buck for the first team...
In a nutshell. We may somehow survive (though I doubt it), but surely it's clear to all that Hughton doesn't have the requisite skills or tactical nous to get us to a comfortable mid table team.
Relegation is matter of when not if, unless we change.
