Captain Hindsight
I could hazard a guess.
But the more candid members of the squad have said similar for three years and look at our form during that time.
Casual comments magnified into a non-story.

Absolutely, those players must absolutely love how they're playing right now.

If he didn’t before he does now. Relatively indefensible that.

Not going to lie, after that performance, there may be some truth to this.

More attacking line-up / formation but using it against a team who pack midfield and launch breaks. Wrong match-up to have changed things against.

Mothy, I take it all back - think you might be right! Bloody hell...

He bloody well should be feeling the heat, looks massively clueless and out of his depth and has done for months.
He’s been tactically poor most of the season but he’s also totally lost the players mentally now. Out.

Don't shoot the messenger but...............an old bloke from Bexhill on the train on the way home told me that March is fully fit, trained all week and wasn't in the sqaud today because he has fallen out, big time, with Hughton.
I'm afraid if you're from the east of the county like I am, you will know only too well that old blokes from Bexhill who 'know something' can, on occasion, know what they're talking about. That, coupled with today's performance, leads me to the conclusion that I have to be inclined to believe that Matt Hughes' throw away paragraph in today's Times of London has some substance.

Given Naylor before the game indicated March was going to be back starting Tuesday might put some truth into this. I thought at the time it was a weird comment.

Mon nez est en Valenciennes..
I don't think the players "played for the gaffer" at all today.
I'll go as far as to say that they played like they wanted him sacked.
Okay, do that when you've got enough points on the board if you want to prove a point - but this is the wrong time to send the club down... and if we did go down, CH would be the man to stay in the driving seat and bring us back up!
The team need to show some unity. I've not seen them so negative and lethargic for a long time.

He clearly knew something. If you are Brighton, you simply cannot compete in this league unless absolutely everyone is pulling 100 cer cent in the same direction. Disunity will be exposed, as it has been today. These are huge games Brighton are not turning up in. I like and admire the bloke, but it appears Hughton may indeed have lost the dressing room for whatever reason. It might not even be his fault, but when it happens it's obvious, and usually terminal.
The widespread rumours of senior players asking for a change of approach.. after today, who now believes something along those lines happened?

It's plain to see that something has gone on behind the scenes that most of us are not privvy to.
We came into the season and played good football, there was even speculation of Albion being safe early doors after getting to 23points at a gallop.
Now look where we are, how has it come to this? The players are clearly not playing for Hughton, his tactics are woeful, defensive and negative. If players are now grumbling then who could blame them, as a player in the Premier League who wants to play like this, firstly away from home and now even at 'Fortress' Amex.
I feel sorry for the clearly talented Bissouma and Bernardo, Duffy (who should have been made captain ages ago) is at the end of his tether. Where do we go from here?

Duffy as captain is a great shout. Afraid Lewis has not been at his best but clearly cares
