After the Charlton game it looked like we had got over the Sami era. We have now lost 3 in 4 and are back down to 2 points away from the relegation zone having just lost to bottom of the table Blackpool.

So, have we turned a corner or are we still very much in the brown stuff?

Things are definitely looking better but we are still very much in a relegation scrap.

We were always in a relegation scrap - today is simply a reality check of the work still to do.........and that we need signings.

Table doesn't lie. Firmly in the poop, but hey we have JFC in midfield, CMS runs round a bit, no recognised wingers & a couple of forwards that score once every three months each - two points above Millwall & still have to go to their place. No need to worry we can still make the playoffs with this lot

Well we have brought in a better manager who is capable of keeping us up, but I have not seen the investment in the squad to strengthen our weaknesses yet.

THIS in a massive nutshell. With Kaz,Stephens and kayal to inevitably be introduced soon enough I'm sure we will have enough to stay up. But we DO need to replace 4-5 players with better quality IMO.

This is the same old Albion. We beat Ipswich and lose to the bottom team. Same as it ever was.

For now I'd personally take just getting a new striker in and those 3 back playing for us, should be enough to stay up - then really go for it with a FULL pre-season for Hughton.

I think we all knew the problems weren't all down to Hyypia yet the club haven't really taken any steps to address the situation by investing in quality players during this window.

Without seeing Kayal and hoping he is the answer to our midfield weaknesses, I agree with you, just a good striker for now is all that is needed.

Bit early to be judging Kayal isnt it ? He could be a massive help to us for all we know.

Reminds me of when we lost 2-0 to Coventry when they were bottom of the league on Dec 31st 2011.

Teams that get thrashed tend to play ultra negatively the next game and rarely conceed many, if any as their approach changes. They tend to put most players behind the ball and deny space to shoot for the opposition.

With the exception of Best and Kayal it's still the same squad that Houghton has to pick from. We are set up better but all the manager can do is try to polish a turd.

We really need to get the whole squad fit and soon!

CH is getting more out of the players than SH did but is it enough? Frustrating after 2 good performances against near top of the championship side and prem team

i think we wont make any more permanent signings this transfer window and we will go into the loan market and see us through until summer. then we will let players contract expire and then get rid of players that the manager does not want. we will then start fresh and get new players in. (poor english i know)

There is still so much to do to repair the damage caused by Hyypia and BERK, we can only hope Hughton can turn things round and keep us up
