Hughton definitely bottled it. Still, it probably won't get much tougher than West Brom away in this league and we could have won it. I'm feeling much more optimistic than I was before the match. Smith, Carroll and Krul did really well.
this is something that really annoys me. Some of our fans are already writing off Andy Carroll, despite him only being 20 and showing a fair bit of potential. It's like they just want to be able to say 'I told you so' if the players don't make it.

I know Hughton's not really a manager and he's doing the best he can but MY GOD he's clueless.
