He's not winning his monthly duels with the FA

The Blackburn lot don't respect him

Not sure why you've only now decided to say this about one of your threads. More seriously, everyone would agree that JHT needs to find a solution to our away form. But that stat is somewhat partial since of the remaining five away games against better teams, we've won two and drawn one, which is not great but okay. It might well be the case that we do better against the better sides.

Really bizarre piece. Appreciate you sharing it, though 😉

Exploring yourself. And Hertfordshire

Given the ref's performance in the game as a whole, this is the only bit I believe.

Out of reactions but I think this is exactly right.

Yes, fair point, and the club did appeal against the decision (unlike the Boro red), so that in itself implies he also thinks the decision was wrong.

Yeah, that's the one that stuck in my mind too. To me it's a bit of an outlier but am not totally sure of myself, hence the question. When I can bear it I might go back and look at the goals we've conceded. Appreciate the discussion

Cheers, appreciate the reply. Would also appreciate some examples if you have a moment

No way I'm clicking on that

I'm going to ask this question again. Have we been "leaving ourselves catastrophically open at the back"? My perception is the bulk of the goals we've conceded have come either from a chronic inability to defend set pieces or giving the ball away in dangerous areas when trying to play out from the back. Can't remember too many where we've over committed players forward and been torn apart on the break. Middlesbrough at home where Doak exploited the hole on our left hand side is the one that springs to mind. So JHT has issues to solve, but I'm not sure leaving ourselves open at the back is actually the main one. As I said when I asked this before, I haven't seen every game this season, so very happy to be corrected.

Would be more viable when Sargent is back, rather than when powder-puff Crnac or Easter Island statue Ashley Barnes is playing up front

Ah, so we're blue and Portsmouth green in that stats summary you posted? I assumed the home team were on the left but the colours are fairly confusing!

Is he, though? Always seems to be playing in a massive strop to me. Didn't watch yesterday but the consensus on the match thread was that he needed to be subbed before he got a red card
