I love it how Hughton decides to get 4-3-3 in a game where we are leading by the skin of our teeth, yet when we are losing he stays 4-5-1 until the final 10 minutes where he goes 4-4-2.

 

We won despite Hughton today. The players didn't have a clue what was going on and in the end it was sheer tenacity and luck which got the points.

We nearly committed suicide at the end there, we were comfortable the whole second half after pushing up a bit further, then decide to pull everyone back and invite them on, bit stupid but we got away with it. Very lucky to get the 3 points, but delighted of course. Still massive room for improvement. Kadar impressed I thought, won lots of headers and looked calm on the ball, well done to him.

I wish we'd dropped Harper after WBA, Krul is clearly the better keeper.

 

Dont see how Harper doing well proves Krul wouldnt either really.

 

Er, because Krul has looked a liability in the 2 games he's started?

Could you overuse that gif anymore? That's right, you couldn't

 

It's my victory gif.

 

Go lie-down on the bypass.

 

The only bypass you will need is a triple heart bypass after I crush your entire family

 

I'm supremely confident that each member of my family would absolutely hammer you in a one on one fight.

 

That's why I'd fight them all at once. Like Chris Hughton, I'm a tactical genius.

 

Burt is a huge man, dont mess.

What's the point man? Give it a rest, no one cares if you were 'right' all along.

Enrique must move on for his own best. He will easily challenge Capdevilla for that LB spot, in a better club.

 

Shhhhhhh!

must admit , didnt understand the three upfont policy but?

 

Reckon he thought they were there for the taking and as long as Harewood tracked back, we could put the game out of sight.

 

Flaw in the plan is that Harewood is a shitcunt.

Harper 8.5, outstanding saves, good on crosses bar one dodgy one early doors

Simpson 6, mixed bag, good passing but some silly fouls

Kadar 7, coped well with Henderson and Evans, having Colo alongside him helped for sure

Coloccini 8, very good, not only on the deck but also in the air

Enrique 8, solid in defence, decent in attack

Nolan 8, ran himself into the ground, fair play. Looked a cut above everything else in midfield

Butt 5, quiet, thank god. Put back four under pressure with passing that lacked any responsibility

Gutierrez 5, full of shit, playing at half capacity

R. Taylor 6.5, mixed bag, got the "goal" and generally looked fine bar some off passing early on

Smith 6, slightly quieter than usual but ticked over

Carroll 7, shit first half, very good second half, gave Morgan a handful to deal with

 

SUBS:

Ranger 6.5, hold up play was canny

Harewood 6, ticked things over near the end

 

Hughton 6.5, stupid line-up and tactics first half but rectified that later on as we improved

Swear to god you just come on after games and try and wind people up.

Oh sorry, you were being sarcastic I just realised. Ignore me.  :facepalm:

Harper 8 - Some great saves which kept us in the game but he needs to learn he doesn't have to smash it up field every single time.

 

Simpson 5 - Did ok, couple of needless fouls.

Colo 8 - A player that's clearly regained his confidence.

Kadar 7 - Clearly not the finished article but did well. His distribution went from the shocking to the great.

Enrique 8 - Once again confirms he's far too good for this league.

Jonas 4 - Absolute shite, pass it for fucks sake.

Butt 5 - Didn't do a lot wrong, probably out with neck strain from the ball being smashed over his head all game.

Smith 5 - See Butt.

Taylor 6 - Inconsistant delivery but not too bad overall.

Nolan 6 - Worked hard, was fed on scraps for the most part.

Carroll 7 - Did well up top on his own, his battle with Morgan was good to watch.

 

Ranger 6 - Neat and tidy when he came on.

Harewood 4 - Gave the ball away with his only touch of the game.

 

Hughton 4 - Shit line up, shit game plan, shit substitutions, sort it out.

More likely he was just trying to keep everyone happy. Harewood was clearly pissed off sitting on the bench.

Missed the first half as was in the Uni library. We looked decent in  patches in the second half and stand out players for me were Enrique, Kadar, and Carroll. Wasn't sure about throwing on Harewood on as a third striker when we were hanging on in the end should have replaced Gutierrez for another midfielder as everything was just coming back at us in the last few minutes.
