I don't credit Llambias as being too clever but I doubt he'd have gone for a doorman if Hughton wasn't managing the club. Hughton is making life easy for them and allowing them to get away with doing nothing, I'm not too sure I'd class that as being lucky.

I agree to a certain extent but I don't think many would allow themselves to work under the same constraints.

One situation is based on what is actually happening the other situation is hypothetical.

Great question but nobody on here is in a position to answer it.

But he's accepted that and allowed it to happen; if it was that bad then he'd have pissed off. I'm not sure that we could get anybody better with our current setup but that's irrelevant to how people should react to Hughton because it doesn't make him any better or worse. Hughton has been really loyal, again that is his choice and his loyalty isn’t necessarily a good thing because it means Llambias and Ashley can just sit back and let him get on with it.

It's up to Hughton to change things if we're snail paced plodders and he's shown no inclination of using this transfer window to do that. We have little or no money to bring people in so we should use loan signings to do that. We don't know which division we'll be in next season so bringing in loans is the sensible option for now, what money we do have should be used on wages. We created the two goals in the second half, once we had changed our formation to give us an extra outlet instead of conceding possession. Playing with one front man only brings the game closer to our goal and we paid for that. I don't know what the first half possession was like percentage wise but I do know that it was 55%/45% to them over 90 minutes and we had a lot more of the game in the second half than we did in the first. Hughton probably is being hung out to dry by Ashley and Llambias but he seems only too willing to accept it, if he hasn't got the balls to stand up to them then he's only got himself to blame if he gets stick for it.

I haven't seen anything to suggest that Hughton can motivate players, his handling of Lovenkrands has been brilliant this week but other than that I've seen nothing to suggest he can man-manage.

I don't like Hughton as our manager because he's not a manager and never will be, as a person I'd give him 10 out of 10, as a manager I'd struggle to give him 5 out of 10. I haven't seen a single thing to make me change my mind on him and at this stage I can't see that changing. As for Monday, the problem was that we had a midfield of snail paced plodders and that's the way we played again today. We have absolutely no creativity and that has been the case for most of the season and I can't see that taking a turn for the better because it doesn't look like were even looking to change anything by bringing in new blood. Guthrie being quiet for 45 minutes proves nothing, I don't think anybody played well in the first half and the game only changed when we switched to 4-4-2 and had a go at them. I'll give him credit for making the change at half time, I'll not give him any credit for the way he set us up before that, him changing things at half time only balances out the original mistake. We can get away with players like Smith, Butt and Nolan against most teams in the Championship but not against the more mobile teams.

I've seen LuaLua play for the reserves and I've seen him play a few times for the first team and I think he's worth a few games. You think he's useless, I haven't seen anything to prove that he's useless but I have seen an unbalanced team for most of this season.

You're guessing that it was 4-4-1-1, OK it must have been that formation. From what I've seen of people wanting to see Nolan playing off the front man it's because he's got no pace and offers nothing if he doesn't score, again, he didn't score and again he offered nothing. I don't understand why anybody would think him playing off the front man would make him any better than he actually is, and for the same reason I don't understand why Hughton would think that, if he actually does.

I wasn't happy with the team he chose, he set us up to try and stop them instead of having a go at them. We may have lost anyway but I think we would have had a better chance of doing something if we tried to have a go at them for 90 minutes.

45 minutes of Guthrie in the middle proves nothing, what about the other players who didn't perform in that half? As for taking off pancrate, I wouldn't have started him and I wouldn't have gone 1 up front and handed West Brom the initiative.

He didn't have to go 4-5-1 in the first half and give the game away in the first 45 minutes. You can't blame the ref for that and you can't blame the ref for Hughton being clueless. His line-ups are looking more and more like those of Allardyce and he's also looking more and more like the worst of Roeder.

Once again proves he's shit.

Who did Donaldson come on for?

We need another committee meeting, the managers doing nothing.

"Carroll with a header, it goes all the way up in the air."

3 of our last 6 games (including today) have been clean sheets.

Harewood played against Sheff Wed.

Shola on Pancrate off, clueless.

I'm surprised that Hughton manages to lift himself out of bed in the morning, he's clueless.

I'd take Nolan and Pancrate off now and bring on LuaLua and Ranger, Hughton will do nothing until half way through the second half at the earliest.

I thought that to get to 40 stone you'd go on a diet, that's all.

Are you going on a diet?
