I'm done. :lolol:

Funny, I was sure he was screaming at them most of the game Tuesday, he seemed exasperated at times. I think we all see what we want to see.

You'd have to know what is going on in the dressing room I feel. That would be the key to that decision. I wouldn't want to call it.

You said that defined Hughton as not being an attacking coach. That is what I was disputing, and giving you evidence of his time with us, and spells with other clubs that clearly show many of his teams have been free scoring.

I said blaming a manager for everything. For every Hassenhuttl, there are relegated teams that changed their manager once, twice in the season to no effect. Norwich sacked Hughton with 5 to play, they'll never know if he would have steered them to safety, could they have won at Fulham, and got a...

If you blame coaches for everything that happens on a football pitch, then we are at an impasse in the discussion.

Yes a terrible attacking coach that went from taking a side almost dropping to League One, to 146 goals in the next 92 games. When Newcastle sacked him in the Premier League, not only got them promoted with 74 odd goals, they'd scored 24 in their first 16 games, there was only 4 teams who had...

IF he went to another Premier League team and scored and made assists as an attacking player in a team similar to ours in the lower reaches, then I would eat my socks. You're rationale is that Hughton is refusing to play him there because of some weird reason Hughton doesn't want the team to...

Well, if you're saying has either shown anything that could make you think they could play as a no.10, I would say no. In fact, Propper was effectively in the no.10 position on Tuesday when instead of thinking like a no.10 and getting a shot off, a pass, a cross, he dithered, lost the ball and...

See above. Propper played twice for Holland as a no.10, twice, it wasn't even a genuine no.10 as they were playing 3 at the back. There is genuine delusion befalling people at the moment. I would expect a decent enough no.10 to be able to contribute to a game of football, whether no.7, 10, 11 or...

He was a winger when he arrived in Holland, think it was NEC that played him as a more forward player, and he reverted to winger where I think he mostly turns out for his country. We have the same issue with people thinking Propper is a no.10 because he played the attacking role twice for Holland.

He's been tried this season as a no.10, on the left on the right, just accept he's crap. I can imagine playing Lampard in goal and he'd make a better fist of the position than Ali J currently is.

Surely it's Tony Bloom that has the say on budgets and money to be spent? January would surely have been his call? No matter what you say, I cannot imagine Hughton wouldn't have wanted to bring players in, when he was told he couldn't, he towed the party line as he does. For all we know he had...

But when you are where we are, every minute that passes is a minute you might have the confidence you will score. Conceding is a hammer blow when your confidence is on the floor. We'll never know, but had we not conceded that first goal Tuesday, perhaps the shots on target would have started to...

Phew, glad it wasn't just me and BensGrandad.

Agreed. You need a foundation to win games. Our wins against the likes of Everton, Wolves, Palace, Huddersfield, came from being completely solid. I don't know whether player power and meetings have resulted in Hughton's hand being forced to try to play more attacking football, but it's...

We've just conceded 7 goals in 2 games at home without scoring - both games we've conceded a pathetically defended goal inside the first half hour making it incredibly difficult to get anything from the game. What is he supposed to say, defending isn't the issue at the moment? If we got a...
