hakka Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hughton on SSN: They were far better first half We showed more character second half Their second goal killed it, we were looking like winning it up until then Their second goal killed it? no - bringing off Barton and Guthrie and leaving Butt on the pitch killed it. 4-5-1 killed it.

JH Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 To the kneejerkers: we lost, get over it. We will win on Saturday. Were you lot screaming "Keegan out" when we lost to Grimsby in 1992? so because we're unhappy at defeat, we're kneejerking? I don't see many saying we're going down now tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magorific Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Probably not, as we were away from home tonight against a side with some momentum and a rabble-rousing manager, as opposed to a home game against a team dying on its arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Tbh our whole midfield has been poor this season. Maybe bar Reading and a glimpse of quality from Guthrie against Leicester. It's a joke really, and if we go up we need major investment in that midfield as it would get torn apart in the Premier League. Nolan's looked horrendously unfit, Barton looks like he couldn't be f***ed, Smith's done his job, and Guthrie's not had much of a chance. Smith and Guthrie central and Barton behind the front man is how this midfield three should be, but it's so impossibly obvious Hughton can't see it. Might as well make it all too difficult for no reason. He's making it difficult because we have no wingers and he has to compensate for this. The fact is he just doesn't want to drop Nolan and now he won't be able to bring himself to drop Butt. The likes of Lua Lua could easily be put out on that wing and his pace and unpredictability would be a breath of fresh air and would at the very least give us another gear out there. I really like Hughton but he is bottling it. Huge shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see many saying we're going down now tbh Nothing wrong with not being happy with a defeat and reflecting sensibly on it. But for some (more than some) on here, being unhappy at defeat = Hughton out/all our previous wins were lucky/Nicky Butt (the antichrist) was the sole reason for getting beaten.

We were poor going forward and weren't creating much, from what i've seen from watching Newcastle and Guthrie & Barton, those 2 are supposedly two of our creative players, as we weren't creating much perhaps the manager thought it better to leave the defensive midfielder ON the pitch and replace the 2 so called creative players who were creating FUCK ALL!!? just a thought but no doubt it'll still be Butts fault.

But hey Geremi seems like a pretty cheerful bloke that won't complain too much or make too much of a fuss if he gets shafted, so yeah let's stick him on the bench why don't we. Very weak from Hughton really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Last 3 games now with that formation we've scored only one goal each game. Butt coming in is probably largely the reason that tonight that wasnt good enough. But we shouldnt need to be relying on that to be good enough in the first place. We have there a side currently capable of winning games by far more than 1-0. Its acceptable only when theres no other strikers, that clearly wasnt the case tonight atall.

ChezGiven Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Have thought that in some of our wins if the opposition had taken the chances we'd afforded them or had a little bit more rub of the green we could have dropped points like, has felt kind of like we've been riding our luck a little bit and were due a defeat. Think we rode our luck hugely on sunday. Its all to do with Nicky Butt though apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
