Really, after the season we have had so far. Don't think so.

3 horrible first half mistakes.
My only gripe is with Hughtons Formation and Tactics.
We've done superb with a 442.
Why confuse everyone with a 451 plus 3 major player changes?

Yes we're in the top 6 but that doesn't mean the team are immune to criticism for such a shocking performance
Was supposed to quote icy gull. And yeah I agree, today was a shambles.

Houghton is to blame for poor tactics and being way to cautious again.

Easily the worst but Cardiff were sharp. Mistakes by keeper, full backs, central defenders, midfielders... all of them really. It looked as if they thought they had done the hard part v Hull and could coast a little through this and came terribly unstuck. That is what happens in this division when one takes the foot off the pedal just a bit. We are still in the mix fighting though.

CH tactics shite as they have been on a few occasions
this season.
Today was terrible the worst I e seen in a long long time
this season.

Missed Kayal and Calde and Stockdale both had a mare. Tactics wrong but they were spot on on Tuesday. We move on and go again.

Because I run a pub and my customers all know that I'm an Albion season ticket holder every time they're on Sky I'm hoping for a decent [performance. Usually I'disappointed, and today was no exception. What an abysmal shambles. I've always thought that when players returned from injury and the team was playing well (as at Hull last week) they had to wait to get back into the side. Would it not have been a better idea to hold onto what seemed to be a cohesive winning team rather than make three changes however valkuable or good the recovering players are or were?
I haven't forgotten the comments the Norwich fans made on here when CH was appointed Albion manager. To-day seems to bear that out - tactically naive, an apparent lack of desire to win the ball and what appeared to me at least a lack of midfield energy and drive.
As a result,, I've had to put up with a fair amount of ribbing this afternoon, although this is mainly from so called Chelsea, Liverpool and MU fans who almost certainly have never seen 'their' teams play live! Thanks CH...

Cardiff weren't exactly great, but somehow we conceded 4 goals.

BIG. FAT. THIS.
I'm not going to have a go at Hughton because he has done brilliantly with us so far this season, but today he got it horribly horribly wrong. I would love to know the rationale behind the changes. Too many changes today, both in personnel and shape, and for the first half hour nobody looked liked they knew what they were supposed to be doing.
Reverting to what we do best, 4-4-2, from the start of the second half and we pulled one back within 10 minutes. Unfortunate about the pen (nailed on) as I think that knocked the stuffing out of us, otherwise I think we could have made a game of it second half.
