The old Chris Hughton discussion thread

[merlin]

Hughton will not be under any extra pressure if we lose today because not many expect us to beat Everton.

 

However, the games against Wigan, West Ham and Stoke will go a long way to deciding whether he - and the team as it currently is - are capable of keeping the club in the Prem because these clubs, along with Blackpool, are the teams we have to get points from to stay up.

 

Interesting month or two ahead....

How conservative of Chris. At least Bobby at nearly 70 said he's do cartwheels.

 

Just his personality all over that like.

[Ketsbaia]

Yet again, he's learning from past mistakes. Quality selection, Chris

I have faith on him based purley on the fact that  he's not an arrogent idiot like Allardyce and Souness and actually learns from his mistakes.

Well said.

He's spineless man. Making all the changes that the fans want him to

I'm still of the opinion that he's a user of that forum.

Almost all.

[Taylor Swift]

Deserves a lot of credit for today.

[Yorkie]

Got everything right today i reckon. Probs could have brought Jonas on earlier to retain a bit of possession when it was all Everton, but we were defending well anyway.

 

Great stuff.

[Shak]

 

Made the right changes after last week, and clearly found a way to get the lads focused again so they could come out and play like that.

[Dinho lad]

Received some unneccessary stick last week.

[Parky]

Got everything right and picked the correct side. Tiote and Bafra must start every game.

[Mick]

Sticking Jonas up front and dropping Carroll to play deeper was an excellent decision and took a lot of pressure off us in the end.

It was a poor performance against Blackpool, total opposite to today. As I said in the match thread looking back it's a bit disappointing that we seemed to bottle out of playing total football against them and hit too many long balls, looking to match them physically. If we'd set out to play like today we'd have won that game I reckon.

Thank fuck, I can read the football forum for a week

Aye, got it tragically wrong for 45mins last weekend though. Impressed with him today, hopefully last week was a one off and he's learnt from it.

hughton= genius at tactics and signing players

[midds]

Got it wrong last week and took some justified stick. Got it right today and should expect some praise.

 

Fantastic result, a job well done.

Good spot Mick.

Wasn't just the team selection though IMO, it was the gameplan.

[Skeletor]

Back to form for Hughton today

 

Good subs as well.

[Dokko]

Re Blackpool: did anyone hear about this coach have a serious stroke at the weekend? Not sure if it was before the match, but could have galvanized them.
