Agreed. He could have got away with playing Vuckic in the middle with Barton from the start. We really need to step up a little bit with his development. You can't keep them in cotton wool for too long. Would have given the lad some good experience. Would be good for him to get a few minutes here and there.

This is pretty much the correct analysis imo.

He isn't crap but he isn't really that dangerous either for a 'winger', what he does do is hold onto the ball and buy us time. For Argentina he's a player who can cover 2/3 positions and is in the squad for that reason.

Think he just has to swallow his pride and cut back in to cross with his right, that's all it is really. He's one of those players who thinks he's a lot better than he actually is, which makes his descision making poor a lot of the time. The current side is still better with him in it.

It's 5 at the back when you're defending and can work very well. But everyone needs to know what they are doing and when.

Looks nice.

Maradonna rates him at right back apparently. Make of that what you will.

I've got nothing personal against you mate and apologise for my earlier comment. I really don't want to be proved right and it frustrates me that you keep reiterating this tack. As I've said earlier I've been positive about CH in this particular thread if you look back. Sometimes I get a bit carried away and you're right about that, but mate I go to at least 20 football matches a season here in Germany have been playing since I was 12, so you're a bit off the mark with your comments about me being a 'dabbler'. The Benitez things was just a giggle and I'd like to think you saw it as that. Not sure what this new thing is about me using my energies elsewhere, but I don't post as much as I used to on here and if you can remember back in the day I was accused of being too positive!! Anyway as I said apologies, but tbf to me you have recently picked me out for stalking especially in this thread, you've got a lot cockier since you lost that weight. I await you and your posse who want to kick me off the board.

Bafra has to start. It's a titanic waste having him on the bench.

What utter rubbish. I know you're a bit thick but his is ridiculous. i've said good things about Ch in this very thread. But he got it badly wrong today. Sometimes his conservatism is a good thing in certain games, but games like today he needs to be more dynamic and take a risk, give the team some air to breathe in an attacking sense. At least 50 people have said he bought Bafra on too late.

Holding out for 15th.

This is the nail on head point. Aye, get the blades sharpened lads. What do you mean by that? You're expecting it to happen, based on nothing. And for whatever reason you seem to want it. That's what it looks like. Smith and Nolan both justified their places today, and Hughton has dropped plenty of the players that you all seem to think he's too spineless to drop. fwiw, I think he'll play Smith and Nolan, because Nolans goalscoring is still up to it, and Smith will probably play because it's an away game. I won't like it, but I'll understand it. What to happen? Hughton has a history of being a bad in game tactician and poor at interventions with substitues, I think if you read this thread there is common ground. This isn't the J league every team can beat you in this league if you don't play to your potential. I have made postive comments about CH if you open your eyes and go back a few pages, but its entirely ridiculous not to be able to criticise him when he gets his in game tactics so badly wrong as he did today and as most have seen and commented on. You're just chimming in with idiotic one liners as if people have an agenda against Hughton and sneering at people who disagree with you...AND WHAT IS YOUR ARGUMENT EXACTLY? That the people citicising him are being nasty...Grow the f*** up. Give me ONE good reason why a curent FRENCH INTERNATIONAL should be stuck on the bench till the 80min when we desperately needed a breakthrough? You're not worth the full reaction tbh. If growing up turns me into a assuming, patronising, boring old know it all, then I'd rather not tbh. You're not worthy of any reasoned debate. You mean you haven't got an answer. Carry on sneering at posters like me who've been on this board 5 years if it makes you feel high and mighty. Pathetic. What a tit. Eh? I've been here six years and I think you're a tit. 5<6 so I'm right. Yeah but you look like a tit. Burn! Back in yer box?

This is the nail on head point. Aye, get the blades sharpened lads. What do you mean by that? That we can't criticise Hughton until we've lost 12 games in a row, played really badly in all of them and he's started the u13s in every game.

This is the nail on head point. Aye, get the blades sharpened lads. What do you mean by that?

I'm just saying what a lot of othes are saying, he didn't make the subs he needed to early enough and his tactics today were too negative against a fellow relegation side. I don't know why you personalise it everytime you reply to one of my posts but you carry on, it seems to give you some importance you crave. it's getting a bit boring tbh.

I don't understand why he didn't play all his cards after 10min or of the second half? Nothing was happenning and the team were getting disorganised and bitty all over the park and snatching at half chances in desperation. Nothing was happening except for the numerous shots on target and domination of possession. At home to Blackpool if you aren't dominating possesion you shouldn't be in this league. We weren't creating goalscoring chances at all just shots from anywhere around the box and mostly in desperation.

Silly comment. People are just frustrated at the lack of intervention when clearly things weren't going our way and tbf it was clear from the first whistle things were going to have to be changed.

outwitted and outclassed by a farmer.

Completely bottled it today.

....and the other 20'd odd and half of france calling for Bafra.
