Brighton Mod
Its All Too Beautiful
Defeat is not pleasant for any of us, defeat on the television harder, but a defeat with an unconvincing and flawed performance is difficult. Amongst all the criticism of the players what of the situation behind the scenes, are we selling, are we not, are we buying or not who's happy who isn't? CH has stated often that it is about the goals that you don't concede opposed to how many you score that will define our season, yet yesterday represented a complete failure of that thinking as we failed to defend two set pieces and provided Newcastle with the opportunity to execute set pieces against us. Newcastle were not a convincing opponent, but as we all know now after five seasons in the Championship, this division is won and lost at the margins.
I am currently struggling with the team selection made by CH and his tactics, is Sidwell better than Norwood and Stephens and has taking Stephens away from Kayal somewhat neutered our midfield, even though Kayal in my opinion is the more dominant and commanding player. The inclusion of Baldock in the starting eleven is a surprise, the man who failed last year replacing last years top scorer and as for the substitutions, both Sidwell and Baldock should have been replaced at half time, instead we got a pointless ending off and and a change with 18 minutes left. Should Stock dale be an automatic selection, he is proving unconvincing in defending set pieces.
Is Hughton selecting the team he wants or are transfers affecting his decisions, is he happy with our frontline, now back to a choice of only two strikers and does he believe that we are in with a chance of promotion this year?
Given that we have a multi million pound set up and a huge amount of resource, I feel that in some way we are being held back, is this from the board room?
