Poor again tonight.

 

:lol:

 

Lucky to not have thrown it away, very.

 

 

 

We've just beaten Chelsea, man. Be happy with it!

 

I am, just worried that's all. I like him, I'm all for him, just his subs are starting to irk especially when 99% of the collective are thinking the same thing (about changing it, or not in his case) and he's not doing it.

 

 

 

 

 

Your constant fretting is starting to irk too. We've done some great things since his appointment and since promotion, get behind and support the bloke ffs.

 

So i'm not supporting him? Though i've just said I'm all for him and I like him; you even quoted it.  :rolleyes:

 

Well done for being special btw.

 

"Poor again tonight."

 

Cracking support there like. :rolleyes:

 

I've already suggested I should have been more specific in that I meant subs, but well done for not being able to read.

 

And again well done in the thickness stakes for quoting a post i'm talking about these subs and those subs only.

 

So, having a go at his choice of subs ad infinitum isn't having a go at him now?  :lol:

It is like when Bobby went to Heaven an angel told him his managerial skills would not be needed in the afterlife and he could therefore pass them on to a mortal man of his choice, and he chose Hughton.

 

Right this has gone too far. :lol:

That's not what this is about. You told me to back him and support him, which I do, what do you want? Blind support regardless of any mistakes he makes? Not to mention things I don't like, don't criticize any bad judgements. I've never been like that and i'm not going to start now tbh, I'll continue to support Chris but will also continue to criticize his mistakes and worry if I want about his ability to turn a game in our favour. Tonight he nearly threw it away, and was very lucky in the end, he could have done a better job at protecting the lead especially when they went down to ten. Think it was Spence who said Smith at RB and Tiote back in the middle, think that would have been a great move and more effective than playing Tiote there, at least the better player is in position. We were crying out for HBA for the last ten as well, would have put Chelsea on the back foot made it easier for us.

You know what I love about Hughton? That unlike every prem manager aside from Hodgson, he's not a whinging, wining little cunt.

 

agreed, not egotistic like some managers who go running to the press at the drop of a hat (allardyce, brown, redknapp etc) or pick random fights with players more popular than he is (souness).

Quality of football overall has surprised me too, pleasantly obviously.

 

I recall a few months back when someone on this very thread pointed out that he clearly wanted to try and play good football. Cough cough.

Your posts are like when Michael Jackson went to heaven and an angel told him that his terrifying wackiness and the constant shite he spoke wouldn't be needed in the afterlife and he could therefore pass them on to a mortal man of his choice, so he chose you.

I could even see some logic in trying Tiote at right back - Perch looks like he is only going to be available for 5 in 6 games so we need to know who can slot in. Made sense to try him there last night rather than have to try it on Sunday should owt happen to Raylor

 

As long as he realises it doesn't / didn't work that's fair enough. 

 

Was Tavernier injured last night, because he was excellent in the last round.

Love how, time and again, the vast majority of us are screaming at him to do this or that (which is fine)... and he sticks to his guns and gets it right all along. It's so satisfying. We've had managers like that in the past, who were equally/more stubborn, and it's just been so inevitable that they'll fuck up in the long run. It's different with Hughton.

 

Love him. :smitten:

More and more convinced by him every week. The Blackpool game was a real mess and I'll admit it had me worried, but the way we've rebounded from it speaks volumes for what the man brings to the table.

 

Yes, I do think he makes some dodgy subs at times, but you have to remember that he's still learning this job. He's improved at it since last year, and with time I think he'll get even better.

 

In any case, I think it's an overrated aspect of being a good manager. Maybe it's the invention of games like FM and such, but I think people (myself included, at times) tend to overestimate how important gameday tactics are sometimes. The real work is done during the days leading up to the game, making sure the players are well prepared and approach the game with a positive attitude and a clear plan with regards to what they want to do. It doesn't have to be some complex chess strategy, just a solid gameplan that the players all understand and can work together to achieve.

 

Hughton seems to excel at this, and as long as he can keep this harmony in the squad I think we'll do just fine under him.
