I think we should approach Rafa Benitez, who is out of contract this summer, and tell him he can have whatever he wants and free reign over transfers.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Haven't seen this mentioned yet, was getting so frustrated by the same corners coming in every time.
You see opposition sides try different things, even feckin Cardiff under Warnock had a few ideas, one corner routine in particular when they managed to pass us on the east byline. Bournemouth had a few too, almost scored because we weren't ready with their free kick deception of one player places the ball down as another immediately crosses.
It just sums us up, completely devoid of ideas.
Have not change my mind .... CH still IN but only to end of season as I just cant see anyone else able to do any better with the current squad in its current form & mentality.
Replacement for next season .... hmmmmm
how about the dream team of Bruno & Caulderon as a partnership management duo
second choice would be Gareth Southgate but he wont do it now as he would expect a top 6 job
third choice would be someone I dont actually like but he would do a good job Rafa Benitez though I doubt very much he would want the job
and as a last pick how about Nathan Jones with Liam Rosenior as assistant if Stoke would let him go cheap enough.

Dyche got Burnley relegated. They stuck with him, won the Championship, and then in 2 years they finished 7th in the PL.
We're having a bad patch, as Burnley will have done to get relegated. That's football, and it doesn't mean a decent manager suddenly became a bad one.

I'm not disagreeing with everything you say, but yesterday Andone came on for Gross after 54 minutes, meaning we went 2 up front (as the fans wanted), so it wasn't like for like.

I’d like to see a colleague of mine John Sitton back in the game

I too am voting in. It doesn't matter now if he stays until the end of the season - Paul Trollope would probably step in temporarily and he is of the same mindset. I'd like to see CH stay in an upstairs post but please can we have a manager that can put a smile back on our faces please?
Agreed on this. We could be playing against the same team, but because it's in the Prem, that immediately means Hughton has to go more cautious for some reason. We shouldn't fear the bottom 8-10 teams in this division. We should attack them the way we did the top half sides in the Championship. Are the likes of Huddersfield, Fulham and Cardiff really better than Leeds, Norwich, even Villa? (The answer is no).

This is the problem, if he thinks he’ll keep his job if we go down, but would be replaced if he keeps us up, exactly what motivation has he got for success, it is for this reason that we must say goodbye now.

Well done, taking yesterdays example instead of the season where it has UNDENIABLY been like for like in or around the 70th min. Injuries notwithstanding.
Thank you.
Yes I know that's what it's usually like. He has his formation, and likes to stick with it. And it worked early season. More recently, has the failure been due to the change in formation we saw at the beginning of the year, or players under-performing, or opponents over-performing, or luck, or ref's decisions, or Chris not changing the formation after 60 minutes, or a combination of all that?
I was just pointing out that he did change the tactics yesterday, and that didn't work. You're suggesting that's the cause of our poor performances, and I'm not so sure it is.

After last night's performance I've switched from 'Hughton In' to 'Hughton Out'.
We were comfortable at New Year on 25 points from 20 matches but 8 from the next 13 is shocking, including an ugly win over Hudds and a lucky win over Palace in which Knocky should have been red-carded in the first minute.
I don't think the players are enjoying playing Hughton's style and it seems as though the defensive mindset is turning every match into a grind. The players are battle-fatigued and have downed their weapons and surrendered.

It looks like Bloom is going double or nothing on CH turning around this rotten to the core playing squad. I think one win does it, I don't think CH get us it. CH OUT for me, clearly CH IN for TB. It is what it is.
I was also in a minority on Maty Ryan. Makes no difference.

This, apart from the 'switched after last nights performance' bit. I switched after the B'muff debacle.

That’s fine by me - it’s TB’s money that is at risk not mine.
I’ll continue to watch and support the team whatever the makeup of that team and the league they’re playing in.
