A huge over-generalsation there, I've certainly said on this thread and others that Hughton was our best manager ever. I rate him above Mullery and anyone who forgets how good those two seasons in the Championship were (we really should have gone up in his first full season when no one gave us a...
Oh 100% :thumbsup:
The thing is, the xG stats are the best statistical analysis of WHY we are enjoying it more. Art meets science. And London Irish runs off for a cry in the corner.
Hello? Any news on our bet? You seem to be ignoring it.
Don’t worry. I’ll shove a fifty REMF’s way if we get 36 points or less anyway. NSC can judge your level of CJTCness for not accepting it.

This all day long.
London Irish I will give you 36 points. If Potter gets 36 or less I will donate £50 to REMF. If he gets 37 or more you do. Game on?

So basically I’ll give you a stat that proves we’re better just as you asked and you’ll have a toddler’s tantrum because it doesn’t fit your narrative :lolol:
If such a website existed exhibit number one would be Brighton 0 Bournemouth 5

Here’s a stat for you. Last season our expected goals were 1.1 a game and we scored 0.9 a game. This season it is expected 1.4 and actual 1.2. We are statistically more attacking and entertaining. Go have a look at infogoal.net

That assumes he was in possession of a plot at some point.
Want to talk us through the recent successes of your twin football saviours Mark McGhee and Omar Bogle London Irish ?

My reading of it was also that it was open and honest up to a point. However, you are hardly likely to let on that you might sack a manager to his face until you are absolutely sure. I also have good reason to believe that Dan Ashworth would have been involved in the firing and hiring decision...
If you think that Hughton didn't expect the sack after Cardiff at home, when many pundits and plenty of folk on this board expected him to go, then, again, you are accusing him of being not as clever as a random bunch of fans on the internet. Again. I think that's insulting to CH.
If he wasn't expecing it he was a fool and I don't belive he was ever that.
Anyway, I started replying on this thread and it ended up too long so I rewrote parts and turned it in to an article.

Agree 100%
If there's a crumb of comfort on offer for the Premier League then it's this; I'm going to make a bold prediction that Sheffield Utd will be next season's Huddersfield. By next season all the good PL managers will have worked out a tactic for them and they do not have the money to...
While that's true, we're MUCH better away this season. 4 points and two of the performances of the season in our last two away games - then a shit one at home. Under Potter's style we should pick up a lot more points away in the second half of this season than we did in the second half of the...
And furthermore, Jolly Red Giant if you don't think Connolly and Alzate were ready then that makes Potter a much better coach of indivdual young players than Hughton. QED.
The season doesn't start in January, it starts in August. If they'd been part of the PL squad they may not have been loaned or injured. Sliding doors and all that.....
EDIT -actually despite any of that both are clearly better PL players than Locadia and Jahanbaksh
