Spectacular cock-up with formation today. He's starting to show the signs of a manager who's sinking and loosing the plot.
Too defensive, no confidence in the players to play offensive football and i question if he's lost the dressing room with reports of Knockert leaving the ground before kick-off.
Time to make an approach to Nathan Jones IMO.
What abject nonsense. We knew before the season started that playing in the Premier League was going to be very very difficult and iof we can retain our place in the top division come the end of the season that, to me, will be an even bigger achievement than getting there in the first place.
Playing open offensive football against teams in the top four will leave uis dead and buried. Today was a game which we didn't expect to get much from anyway, so l'm all for Chris Hughton experimenting and playing a new formation with five at the back. I thought that the score flattered Chelsea, and we had plenty of chances of our own, and of course two penalty appeals waved away, that according to sky should have been given.
As for Nathan Jones, yes he is doing a fair job at Luton, but he has won nothing there yet. Plus of course, winning football matches in League 2, is a whole lot easier than winning them in the Premier League..
