Yes, we know that, but that's not a good enough reason for some on here tonight!
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Hughton

What I think is the case is Burnley exploited our weakness, which is we can't deal with teams who press us and force us back, like Bunrley did first half. We look clueless without options, and just leads to Duffy and Dunk passing it between each other for a couple of minutes with no escape route. This has been our biggest weakness for the duration of Hughton's reign (Wagner exploited it every time we played him) and it's surprising he hasn't been able to find a solution to this.
But it's also not Hughton's fault we have Izquierdo out, Andone suspended thanks to his own stupidity, our best player today having to go off injured and us failing to take the chances we did create.

I disagree. I believe we are a mid-level Prem team at best, given the right starting 11 and tactics.
My main point in my original post is (despite how much I genuinely want Hughton to succeed with us) I do not believe Hughton is the man you want in a relegation fight.
Fairly one dimensional, defensive, with regular poor tactics and team selection choices.

So playing devils advocate, is that your incite and intelligent response?

Dangerous Idiot
He over hit most of his crosses and with a goal gapping shot straight at Heaton
Do you think we are getting it right tactically at the moment ? Genuinely interested

He needs to learn very very quickly that picking the same players who are in shocking form is going to get us relegated.
To still have the same 11 responsible for the Fulham disgrace out there two games and no wins later is inexcusable.

Love Hughton. It's the pathetic approach when we've been 2 up at West Ham and Fulham that has really pissed me off though and he's part if that problem.

You seem to ignore the fact that we are small fry in this league, the Premier is in fact two leagues the top ten are chasing the top four places and the remaining teams are trying to keep above the relegation zone.
Easier to do well in the league if you are cheating.

Amen to that. He and TB are building something here: sorry if it's not instant flashy - and probably short-lived - success

I don't remember mentioning Wolves!
Granted.
But we are no Liverpool etc.. who have bigger squads to choose from.
We are BHAFC, where we have to use what we have IMO

How many years since it happened? One.
Huddersfield last season. Coasting before Christmas and managed just 2 wins between Mid-December and Easter. Looking awfully familiar.
Short memory?

You've actually completely ignored what I said. I agree with everything you've said and the margins of success and failure are hugely down to managerial decisions. Hughtons are currently terrible.

Relegation would mean we could play entertaining football again, so its not all doom, just look back at what Chris has achieved with us

All of the above had a very strong case to be ahead of Gross, Bong, Stephens and Locadia.
