[Albion] Matt Hughes The Times "Hughton feels the heat"

I don't see how you can discuss any Albion players lack of potency in front of goal and not bring Murray into the discussion.

I love how the palace reprieve gets pulled out as some kind of redemption completely forgetting the fact he was 'dropped' because he was so poor, then went on to start and play far far worse v Millwall, Southampton and unsurprisingly City.

My bone of contention with 2019 is the managers refusal to change either the failing system or the players that are failing the system.

I believe CH has the players at his disposal to make 4-3-3 work very well but his reliance on GM and not running the risk of conceding a goal is holding everybody (esp Locadia, Andone and Ali J) back.

So many biting on this completely made up story. This is how decent managers get sacked.

He quotes that they concentrate on not conceding a goal. There isnt a team in the league that doesnt do this as a priority. The first thing Newcastle said after thier game vs Leicester was that it was good to get a clean sheet. At any club there are players left out the team who wont be happy this notion that every player loves the manager while winning is flawed. Sure it makes it more bearable but they will still feel the same. If we do go down he is the best manager to get us back up but after this I can just see us getting him sacked.

Agreed.........irony is I’m not even sure he’d have been first choice for much of the season if Hemed hadn’t got a ban early on.

Really hope today’s line up is as predicted and is given a chance to work (if it doesn’t today, I fear CH will immediately revert to ‘tried and trusted’)

Nope.

What gets a decent manager sacked is poor results. Every time.

Can we put to bed the mourning of the loss of Hemed? Great player while here but we have better much better now. Could you imagine Murray, Locadia or Andone playing as few minutes as Hemed is currently at QPR?

There is also an article about Warnock possibly facing the sack at Cardiff etc. etc. in the same 'Football Notebook' written by Matt Hughes, so I think the above comment is unlikely to be true, especially as he supports Hudders.

Hughton is to scared to drop Murray despite him being far from any kind of form.
