Seen a lot about how we have been negative all season and how we never try to score.
While I accept it has been poor recently I think this is re-writing history.
Checking our results there were only 7 league games all season we had not scored in before our recent run of 7 in a row (and 3 of...
Fair play and very honest.
However I think VERY few of our fans would have described Hughton as negative and defensive in our last 2 seasons in the Championship.
Would have loved a first half sub but they very rarely happen. (I think Bournemouth may have made one yesterday but it is rare).
At least he changed it after 45 minutes rather than waiting for 60 minutes.
Don't necessarily disagree with this but very few managers ever make subs in the first half.
I guess he wanted to try and find a way to keep Andone's pace and Gross' creativity on the pitch at the same time?
Clearly I'm not neutral but I agree with a lot of what you have said.
I don't think we were fortunate though. Think we played very well 2nd half (rather than Newcastle checking out) and deserved a point.
He changed the formation during the first half from 442 to 451/433 after about 20 minutes so didn't do nothing. Apart from that I can't comment as I can't say I was watching him.
One of the (valid in my opinion) criticisms of Hughton is that he doesn't make subs early enough so I was pleased to...
Everyone was having an off day first half. He made 1 half time sub and probably knew at half time Kayal might not last the game so would have been very risky using the 3rd sub after 45 mins by taking Jose off then.
My point was that if Hughton has "lost it" because we were so poor first half (we...
You're another of those with a vendetta against Stephens as well are you? Doesn't surprise me.
Here's an idea: if you want attractive, winning football every week go support Man City and leave the supporting to the true supporters.
I have never seen you say a single positive thing. I can...
OK how about facts - Only Burnley and Cardiff pay their top player less than us:

I've backed my point with evidence - any chance you could do the same with your slurs??
Beyond debate? Why? Because you say so???
Very much a debate to be had. I'm very much in the Hughton In camp but wouldn't dream of saying there is no debate to be had!
