Guest Phil K Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Any divvees that agree with the decision to sack Hughton, do you genuinely think this goon is an improvement? Incredibly, as it's turned out - YES ! (Not a dig at Sewelly at all - just a reflection of how most us felt about Alan Pardew, but fairs fair we seem to have turned out very wrong indeed.)

The majority were absolutely fuming at the circumstances surrounding the whole affair. Doubt anyone could have envisaged what's happened in the last year Fancy a poll reset, like.

Dokko Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 He's come back well from two patches where we've looked a bit suss. Won me over, tbf. He's certainly changed It around in the past few games but I have massive doubts in him long term. Glad he's got the message though, we can play football with this team. Has an uncanny knack of getting great performances out of average players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Got it spot on again, superb stuff. The early goal helped us massively as it meant that we could stay nice and compact, concede possession until they threatened and see the game out. We never had to have a real pop at them to score so the game was a bit dull for the neutral. I think we all know they've got zero cutting edge and look great passing it around but not when you've got no cunt to put the ball in the net.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Result papering over the cracks again. There's genuine problems on the park and I honestly don't think Pardew can solve them. He's winging it atm. Just throwing them on the park and hoping they produce something outstanding to get us a goal. There's no discernible pattern to our play, it's a mishmash of long looping balls in the general vicinity of a player (who clearly isn't a target man) or a cross from wide with only one black and white shirt to aim for. When was the last time you saw one of our CM run past a striker and get on the end of a pull-back? The back 4 look shot to bits. Williamson looks dreadful as does Simpson and the LB changes from half to half. Krul seems incapable kicking it accurately to keep possession and refuses to bowl it out to either FB to build attacks. The refusal to strengthen the defence in January is also looking a mistake. Fitness-wise we're looking like Devon Loch. The squad isn't big enough or good enough to rotate effectively and a few of them look like they're running on empty. 6th? f*** me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that game he's got it all spot on, the change to the 3 upfront has transformed the team and we look a real threat again. I wanted him to solve the problems and he has done. Fucking good on him and long may it continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have changed. Shock horror. Get over it. Never said i was JH I backed AP the same way i have backed MA/DL in the last year or so I dont rate Danny Simpson, I think BA will be off and i think Tiote will be sold in the summer These are my opinions, and if i am wrong and someone wants to pick me up on this then so be it. I am quite happy to eat humble, and say i am wrong. Sometimes, however, people need picking up on opinions, not necessarily because i want to say told you so, but because a lot of people on this board look up to some of these more distinguished posters and think they are always right, therefore taking their opinions as gospel Im just saying it is ok to have an opinion that differs from the hierachy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Don't see how anyone has to eat humble pie on the comments made before WBA. He's playing the way a lot of us said we should be playing, less hit and hope, more football on the ground, Ben Arfa, Ba and Cisse all in the team. It's the people who said "he's doing the best he can because he doesn't have the players to play anything other than long ball" who were more wrong tbh.
