Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Job under threat if we lose at the weekend? From us or the Papers trying to stir things up? I don't think the fans will bother too much, might get some bookies lowering the odds. If we lose to Wigan and the Mackems though, I can see unrest forming.

Guest neesy111 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 No win in the next 3 league games, pressure will be on bigtime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Job under threat if we lose at the weekend? Not exactly, but no home win in 3 (when the three were Blackpool, Stoke, Wigan) would be a very worrying statistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hope so. I have missed the managerial merry-go-round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly, but no home win in 3 (when the three were Blackpool, Stoke, Wigan) would be a very worrying statistic. So would another new manager. Stability is one of the only things on our side right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 If anyone seriously calls for a change of manager in the next few weeks, they need to be sectioned immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 He's nowhere near being under pressure yet, nor should he be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I think a loss against relegation rivals at home would be a huge blow but not enough to put pressure on Hughton just yet. I think many understand the injury to Ben Arfa is a huge blow to our prospects and realise how effectively he has worked in the transfer market with a limited budget.

thenige Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Would be amazed if Chris was under any sort of pressure. Obviously the fact that his contract is up at the end of the season and O'Neill is available are two things which are against him, but nowhere near sacking in my book. Red tops may think otherwise, but they're shite for a reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Sacking Hughton would cost money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 This is a must win game on Saturday and it'll be interesting to see if Hughton sticks with his chosen formation and reverts to 442. Personally i'd play both Shola and Carroll for this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hughton would drop Routledge and shunt Barton onto the right wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hughton would drop Routledge and shunt Barton onto the right wing. You know what, I was saying exactly the same thing the other day. Can totally see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hughton sticking by Nolan will be what puts him under massive pressure because it holds us back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 True. It's going to become a real issue for him/ us too. Making Nolan captain was Hughtons first real dropped bollock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 It's not so much of an issue with Ben Arfa crocked. Unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I think the next time he plays Nolan and we lose, he should be sacked. tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Defeats against Wigan and the Mackems will put the pressure on big-time...if it hadn't been for the fact that Ashley is unwilling to spend decent money, the results at home against Blackpool and Stoke would themselves have place any manager under some pressure. Only Ashley's knowledge that he will have great difficulty in getting a decent replacement will keep Hughton in a job beyond November if we lose the next 2 home games.

Yorkie Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 If Ashley was willing to spend money we wouldn't have lost to Blackpool and Stoke. Hughton made mistakes in both games, but if we go down this year, it'll largely be because we didn't get the chequebook out this summer. We knew the squad was weak from an attacking point of view. Ben Arfa getting crocked is a fucking nightmare but we were bang short of decent cover anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was down to Hughton we lost to Stoke, he made changes to improve what he was seeing on the pitch & made it worse. Nothing to do with Ashley.
