Hughton has made changes away from home (4-3-3) and it has made some difference IMHO. This hasn't yet translated to wins as yet but we have been creating chances and have looked better going forward since the change. If Murray kept his shot down and hits the target in the second half and/or we have Andone on in the first when Murray's lack of pace is glaring then the whole game looks different. BTW I am not putting down to luck as such, it is more to do with being able to take the next step and start converting chances. At Burnley we let too many chances go begging/saved by Heaton having a world class game and they were clinical.
I disagree that tonight was a certainty. We had more of the game today and the better chances, we just didn't convert. As i said I think we are more likely to get a win and go on a decent run than we are to continue struggling towards relegation. Chris clearly still has the dressing room and the players still believe in what they are doing (and themselves).

Are we going to have this nonsense every time we lose?

Edging towards out, but who to replace him with?
I agree with most of that except the sloppy goals Leicester broke at pace counter attacking it's what they do. We could not match the pace and they finished clinically not sloppy at all and to me emphasises our number one weakness- we play too slowly.

I'm a remainer, still Hughton in, but heard more and more folks not happy last night.

There is only one man who will really feel the effects of relegation and that is Tony Bloom. For us it would be a disappointment only although to some on here it would appear to be just fine.
Happy to leave TB to decide what he wants to do, I won’t be calling for CH’s head even if we do go down, would I rather we had a manager who played football like Eddie Howe? Yes I would but I am happy enough with CH and our away performances have definitley been a step up on last season imo, don’t remember the last one that bored me. Being entertained is my only “must have” at football and this season we have been (imo). Last season we were often dire away from home.

The best and most accurate post on this entire thread.
Most need to give their head a wobble and I’d definitely suggest none of the out brigade take an IQ test anytime soon.

I would. You could shoot deserters with impunity and without trial.,

Can the same be applied to early leavers? Aren’t they deserters too?
March, Bissouma, Dunk, Duffy, Propper - improved over the last 18 months, or their shorter PL time with us. (When you think back to their standing at the beginning).
That’s it I think.
Remember I don’t think our squad is special in 2019 PL terms, that we have a bottom 6 squad. Some very positive posters often say we have an amazing squad, the best in our history. I get that angle, but how many would walk into the regular first 11’s of West Ham, Wolves, Palace, Leicester? None, one?

I wonder if Burnley had this same conversation. They stuck with Dyche after relegation and am sure they are pretty pleased with themselves.

In for me but I do think we need to have a few more options when we play and most managers do have a 'sell by' date when their vision can't improve what is at the club, I think CH needs this year to complete and next you to start before possibly moving him on.
We do need to look at the recruitment policy though as a number of the players we have bought either seem to not worth the money (Locadia or Ali J) or have had a high % of injuries (Gross, Andone, Izquierdo, Bernardo) .

Well living in London - for evening games only - I’m one of those - so maybe we can set a low bar and anyone leaving before 80 minutes can be shot just so I don’t have to commit suicide.

I consider the first goal sloppy in that we lost possession cheaply and had committed ourselves too much. But yes, agreed, Leicester are lightning on the break. I don't really understand how Hughton could get any flak for last night. If we had just a couple of Leicester's attacking players in our team, we'd probably have won comfortably. So there's nothing much wrong with the boss - we just need better players, which will come from staying up - even if it's a struggle for a few seasons.
