The old Chris Hughton discussion thread


Recommended Posts

Last season, West Brom and Blackpool were better footballing sides than us, and I did wonder whether they might find it easier to adjust to the Premiership. They've had to improve, but they've not had to change their style, whereas we've had to do both.

 

I think Hughton has made a good fist of things. We are a bit better at playing the ball on the deck, even though Ben Arfa's injury has been a real blow. However, the build up is often a bit slow, so it's still a work in progress.

 

But we have improved, and we do need to keep faith with the man who has brought us this far.

It's a massive 8 days for Hughton. If we fail to win any of the 3 games, I wouldn't be surprised if Fat Ash made a knee jerk reaction.

Maybe Blackpool and West Brom have better managers than us?  Hughton chooses the style of football we play by the team he picks and the formation, he sends them out to play the way they do.

It's a very different challenge, though, managing Newcastle. No one has unrealistic expectations for West Brom or Blackpool.

I thought that he'd got our starting 11 wrong again but it worked for him.  I was glad that he didn't try to make changes at the end because we were so far on top we couldn't afford to disrupt our play.

Great result for us and hughton. It's that type of reformance that we need to keep us out of danger. They look like we did 2 years ago, no spark, no passion, nothing. Unless they make big changes they'll go down with a whimper.
