The alternative view re the system is that we don't have the players to make it work but Hyypia stuck by it when it was clear he should change. That's my opinion

You would seriously have kept a manager who had 19 points from 22 games and was getting worse with time? I guarantee you we would be in League 1 now if Hyypia had stayed. You clearly didn't go to Derby away or Millwall home.

Just go away. Your argument that Hughton was as bad as Hyypia was proven wrong. Do you admit that? We stayed up because we got more points than three others. Based on Hughton's average points per game, we wouldn't have got that!

Read my post. Are you seriously saying we should have stuck by Hyypia? We would be down now. Nobody is happy but Hughton has kept us up. As for your mention of Bournemouth away, Hyypia's later games were more like Derby away and Millwall home. Complete disgrace. And you think we should have...

That wasn't what you said. You said it was no difference. The actual difference is between safety and relegation. As for Jones, it was only two games. Hughton had a good start and until last seven games had done well. You can't change your view when you're proved wrong. You said his record was...

I stuck by Hyypia longer than most fans and don't believe sacking managers is always the answer but if the fans hadn't "hounded out Hyypia", we would currently be heading to League 1.

1) Then you're pathetic. Whatever you might think about him, at least have the common decency to call him by his name. 2) you didn't check very carefully. Hyypia got 19 points from 22. Hughton got 24 points from 22. If you can't see the difference then I give up

1) I can't tell you how hilarious it is that people like you spell Hughton's name wrong. It's so funny. 2) You need to check your facts. Hughton's record is better than Hyypia's.

You're completely right. They were all amazing before he joined! Can't believe what he's done to our incredible players!

Fair point. Think we'll sign two, keep Baldock and let O'Grady go. We might even sign three if we decide to go two up front (which we don't have the wingers for at the moment).

It depends on where you see the problem. I'm not saying we create enough chances but there's no sign that our strikers would score if we created thirty chances per game. I hope that a good striker will make a big difference and we'll be more attacking then. I may be wrong but Hughton showed...

It's a very difficult job when you have no strikers who can score. Whatever you do with the rest of the team, if your strikers can't score you will always be down the bottom. I really hope we can sign a good striker in the summer and that will mean Hughton's tactics will be more attacking...

I really don't get your point. Nobody is dressing it up. It's been very poor. But it was much, much worse under Hyypia. If you think otherwise, you're either Sami himself or missed the first half of the season. Gaining Best is hardly relevant as he has been very poor (and replaced Bent who...

So, you compare Hughton's worse ten games (when limited attacking options were reduced further with both Baldock and March out) compared to Hyypia's best ten. Whatever you say about Hyypia, his last 18 games only produced one win. That is terrible. He only won three from 22 in total. Hughton...

Because Hughton did keep us up. Hyypia was failing to do so (and miserably). Completely disagree about Hyypia. He had no common sense and kept playing the wrong players (e.g. sticking with Forster-Caskey and Gardner over Holla and Ince). He made good players worse and failed to inspire the fans...

Actually, we had enough points to stay up (as it turned out) with eight games to go. That is pretty comfortable. To call it skin of our teeth, we'd have to have had a realistic chance of going down on the last game, which we didn't. That might be more down to other team's incompetence than our...

To be fair, that's not always true. We played really well against Leeds and Ipswich for example. We lost our way in the last month but we had very limited options. Losing both Baldock and March meant our limited attacking options were even more limited. I'm not saying Hughton is perfect and...

It's pretty comfortable when we were four points adrift at one point (when Hyypia left).

Yes, he had limited options and hoped to get the best out of someone he'd managed before. It didn't work out. How many goalscoring strikers do you think were available in January? The only obvious one was Afobe and he cost a lot and wouldn't have gone to a team struggling at the bottom.

Do you seriously think he's worse than Hyypia? Seriously? Were you at Derby or the Millwall home game? Points per game under Hyypia, we've have gone down. We've stayed up quite comfortably in the end. It's post like this that make you realise how clueless our fans are. No team can be mid table...
