I'm no Hughton fan, but.......

Recommended Posts

He sent out a side tonight which had most of the possession and chances but the players could NOT put the ball in the net.....again!

We have been tight in defence for weeks but again the players have been unable to score.

It''s inexplicable to me, with the players we have that we are so toothless.

What didn''t Hughton do right for us to take this game by the throat in the first 80 minutes tonight?

Awful awful attempt at solving the final piece of the jigsaw with the purchase of Elmander in my book and then no attempt to address the issue in January.

Enough chances to win three games.You can only blame the players, absolutely dreadful finishing.

This failure to score is not a recent event it has been the case pretty much for the entire tenure of Hughton. The reality will sadly be relegation due to our lack of goals. Sack him now and give ourselves an outside chance if survival.

Failed to score in 11 games this season , says it all, it has to come down to tactics and training as many of the players had a good scoring track record before joining the Hughton duds, you can blame the players but that is not the root cause.

The board have made their decision, best thing we can do is get behind the team. But a manager whose team loses when It plays well and loses when it plays badly usually leads to one thing.

This is the problem ric, we should have been 2-0 up, people can want Hughton sacked as much as they like but ultimately we''re are stuck with this team and I think unless we get a bit of luck relegation is very likely.
However it''s good to see Hughton''s subs finally changing the game for us....

Echoing Ricardo''s comment here, bar the substitutions which were mind boggling to say the least, you have to blame the players. Should have scored at least 3 or 4 tonight.

Poor, woeful, I''m running out of negative adjectives to describe our attempts at beating their keeper at times.

You can blame the players for the failure to take our chances and win the game.

But for losing, you can only blame Hughton. We were in control and looked likely to score until his idiotic substitutions. Beyond stupid.

Snoddy was having a mare both going forwards and helping his full back. Seriously, he defends like the opposition winger is invisible. Redmond looked like a constant threat, Snoddy looked like a constant waste of oxygen. Hughton is the only man alive who would have kept him on the pitch. They must be romantically involved.

We should have won it before the subs.

I suppose the only question as to whether the subs LOST the game is....would Collins have been that far forward if we still had Redmond and Hooper on the pitch or would he have been too wary of their pace?

I''m afraid the blame lies with those who failed to score and Ruddy for the most amateur goalkeeping ever...

We should have been well clear before they happened.

Surely you saw Ricardo that once the subs were made, particularly Redmond going off, that we had no outlet against defending their attacks. We quite openly handed the initiative to them by saying "we''re taking off our best attacking player and we''ll take a point thank you very much".

Yes we should have been out of sight by then, but we WERENT, and therefore shutting up shop for a draw was only going to end up with West Ham attacking continually for 10mins with a good chance they would score. They had there own chances up to that point but were always fearful that we would nick something on the counter (probably through Redmond). Taking him and Hooper off was an invitation to attack without fear of a (decent) counter.

Don''t question the wisdom of Ricardo my friend. It is not Hughton''s fault. It is the players.

Next you will be suggesting that a change of manager might have improved results (a la Palace) and we all know that results will always return to the mean.
