[Albion] B'muff's second goal

[Shropshire Seagull]

An epic goal-mouth scramble - but should the ref have blown for a head injury to Murray?

Muzza went down from the corner and remained down near the edge of the six-yard box clutching his head.
Can only assume the ref didn't think it was serious - if it wasn't serious, should FFS Murray have got up once he realised the ref had let play continue?
No telling if an extra player on their feet in the six-yard box might have helped to prevent the goal ...

Views?

We won’t know how serious it was, but he seemed fine after so maybe it wasn’t that bad and should of got up when he realised the ref wasn’t going to stop the play.

No need for the ref to blow up in that situation. Pity we didn't have someone on the post though.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Duffy had 2 pretty pathetic attempts at clearing it tbh.

Had Hughton subbed Propper or Stephens who were dead on their feet a fittter player might have actually made the clearance. Propper was so knackered he just swung a tired leg at it. Poor performance from Hughton on the subs front caused the goal.

Yes, agreed. Same with Alonso’s header at Chelsea.

Maybe the ref didn't notice Murray on the floor, he couldn't take his eyes off the comedy defending

Really? Perhaps Hughton was responsible for the rain as well. The goal was scored because of a collective number of errors and misfortune. To blame Hughton because, in your view, Propper was so knackered that he swung a tired leg at it is the biggest load of tosh going. Are you going to blame Hughton for selecting Izquierdo to play because he missed that golden chance to go 3-1 up?

So you think Hughton was right to leave his subs so late when players were clearly struggling on a very heavy pitch?

Could well be the time to give Goldson a run. He may not be a brick wall like Duffy, but is a far more skilfull player on the ground. Would be more effective in situations like this goal mouth scramble.

Jesus christ, Hughton has been brilliant for us but he is not above criticism. You only have to look at the stats to see that he is reluctant to make changes or change tactics during the course of a game.

Agreed. I think Uwe could be used for a game or two, too

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. We were leading 2-1, relatively comfortably and with ten minutes to go. I'm not disputing your point about Propper being tired, as probably the rest of the team were. So if Hughton had made the substitutions and fresh players had come on but were "not in the game yet" so to speak and they made an error that led to a goal, what then? Would you blame Hughton for disrupting the balance of the team? It really is a case of damned if do and damned if you don't.

The fact is a number of players made errors that led up to that goal. It was their responsibility to ensure that those errors did not occur, they didn't. You can hardly blame Hughton for that.

If only one of our players could have heard Jimmy Scoulars advice many years ago who said " if ever in doubt kick it out", prefereably to Upper East top row.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

On a related note..sky even reported that hughton said himself that we will get relegated unless we stop these goals from set pieces so why the heck doesnt he rest some of the players. As said both Uwe and Goldsen could step in - neither done anything wrong when they have played

 

[BensGrandad]

CH has this achilles heel about substitutes and it is the ones aaspect of his game that lets him down . He never seems to be able to make a substitution that has any benefit to us as they all seem to be straight like for like substitutions and too late in the game Eddie Howe use of substitutes was a classic example to him on how it should be done as he did in the away game against them.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Not sure about substitutes, they give fresh legs but the dynamics of the team change and sometimes take time to settle and or upset the rhythm, tricky to be perfect

That is not always true about our method or playing pattern as we always do a like for like usually a wide man replacing a wide man Brown replacing Gross and Hemed for Murray.
