The difference between us and Watford imo is that as per Troy Deeney after they got promoted, their aim at the Watford from the first day of training, was to get promoted automatically. Our aim was and is never more than top 6, and this season we were arrogant eough to think we could give the rest of the division a months headstart whilst we got our squad together during August. To get promoted, you have to aim to finish in the top 2 and you need that mentality the whole season.

The players lack confidence and desire....Hooton is the problem

So you think we gained by signing Best? Moron!
Don't be a tw4t, you are out of context to what I was replying to.

I think getting rid of CH is a bit harsh.Having a manager that knows the leagues at the beginning of summer is IMO very important when recruiting ,something we are not used to !At least give him to the usual Christmas period before judgement.

And his thinking when buying in the summer will be how can he buy better defensive players instead of resolving the main issue which is at the other end.
Thank goodness Hooton isn't the manager then ............

The Glory Game
FFS we've just drawn against one of the best teams in the division in front of 30,000+ fans.
Yes we are too defensive but we were also under Oscar. And Poyet became too negative once we'd left Withdean and his fear of failure kicked in. I partly agree that Hyypia had a rough deal but he did draw a lot of home games against lesser championship clubs. We've had some tough home games against Bmuff Norwich and Watford recently. Agree that we were poor against Hudd.
Hughton has signed one player, Kayal, and he has been quality and a bargain.
Personally I don't give a toss what Norwich fans say about Hughton, Newcastle and Birmingham fans rate him very highly.
Give him a chance.

That is the first step once the team get used to that we can then move on to looking for a win.

How do you know kayal was a hooton signing?
No doubt we are paying half of best's 35k a week wages and we know hooton knows and signed best surely?
That's another issue as we never seem to know who finds our players anymore

You hit the nail on the head. If we have good strikers we could have won at least 10-12 more games this season and could have sneaked the play-offs. How many times have we played ok and not scored or had chances and not scored. All the top teams have at least 1 or even 2 good strikers and midfield players who score loads of goals. The other teams keep clean sheet and their strikers score or score more goals than other teams. We just can't score. We need very good strikers and good midfield goalscorers. Thats 4 players at least for next season.

My dad has a 280 lb. chain-smoking cardiologist.Watford had 4 managers this season, hasn't done them any harm.
Doesn't make it a good idea....

**** biscuits - Why are people even contemplating another managerial change. Let's see what the close season brings - you never know a bit of continuity might just be what we've been missing. Yes his style seems defensive - just like Poyet but with a few decent attacking signings our defensive prowess can translate into play offs or better. A lot of bounce -ability in this tread tonight-who will stand or fall?

Well said. I'll add they kept Deeney despite a Leicester bid similar to their one for Ulloa that we accepted. They then added Ighalo. We replaced Ulloa with far, far inferior players. Result = Watford in Prem, Brighton just about avoid the drop. P1ss-poor management by our beloved leaders.

Kayal. Best is a loan. Now, if he decides to keep Best (please no!), then fill yer boots.
