[Albion] Hughton supporters

[Sussex Nomad]

Away to Spurs or City, yes. Away to Huddersfield, Fulham et al no. Can’t be gung ho every game.

I'm never happy to be losing, home or away.

People who support Hughton at this point are basically just doing it to make themselves feel smart. They probably think they "see the bigger picture" and aren't reactionaries who ask for manager's head because of a little rough patch.

Nobody is expecting Brighton to be fighting for the Title, but it's clear from how Brighton has played this season that Chris Hughton has set this team up to have 0 confidence and basically play to not lose. There's no attempt to win, It's been damage control all season. You'll never succeed with that mentality.

I've made this analogy before, but Chris Hughton's tactics are basically North Korea in the 2010 World cup.

Couldn’t say it better. If we pulled something back and survive, same people will also say ‘told you so’.

He must have been sacked already. Has ashworth stuck the knife in?? How can you explain some of the worst football in the history of the premier League

Look, players don't just Forget how to Attack or simply play Football!! something is VERY WRONG.

Someone tell Hughton “wars are not won by evacuations”

We are so bad. So bad. Lost for words really. I’m now starting to blame Bloom. Why has he not acted? Talk Sport are calling us subservient, slaughtering us for sticking to a philosophy that clearly doesn’t work...They’re not wrong are they?!

 

[Hu_Camus]

He's pulled Andone off again....what's going on there? - at least the lad has heart.

Agree. Stuart Pearce has just said it was the worst PL first half performance of the season. We are so bad. So really bad. Please. I don’t care if we go down. Just sack Hughton now. TONIGHT. He has to go. We’ve just set a new club record for not scoring. And still it goes on.

Sorry Chris. I'm done. There's just no getting away from the fact that we are dreadful. Every time we are on covered on TV or the radio, the commentary team cannot disguise their dismay. We all know it. Our football is woeful. It's not enough to be defensively resolute when we are so witless in possession. No sooner do we gain the ball than we give it straight back and invite more pressure upon ourselves.

Here we are in a game in which a win would see us safe and what have we served up so far? More of the same from a team that has failed to score in almost a quarter of a season. Just think about that for a moment. In recent games we can't even suggest we've been unlucky. We've made almost nothing. This is now the longest streak without a goal we have ever had in 119 years of trying. That is astonishing and a shocking indictment on Hughton's stewardship. I'm afraid we seem to be a broken club right now and Hughton does not seem to have any inkling of how to fix it.

He won't be sacked of course. Not at this stage of the season. We have him at least until the end of the season so we just have to soldier on as best we can.

I hate myself for feeling this way. I feel dirty for saying it but this is an utterly remarkable spell we are limping through.

Now come on lads. Bloody well prove me wrong in the next 40 minutes and make me look completely stupid. I'll happily come back on here and say I'm an idiot.

Fair enough, geez

 

[portlock seagull]

Hang on he got us promoted 2 years ago so is immune to criticism and should be manager forevermore....

This is a major reason why Brighton have been and always will be a small club. We’re the nice family club and as long as we’re winning pie, programme and App of the year etc we’re happy with our lot.

No change in view, we're not safe, we could still be relegated. We were absolutely dire in the first half, a different side came out for the second. Makes you wonder why Hughton plays such negative football when we can actually play.

Because if we played open attacking football against most of these PL sides, we'll get ripped a new one, several times over IMO

You’ll find the answer on the Canary forums I’m afraid!

I don't know how any manager would get these players to play...at the lowest level they are being paid to do a job, they aren't even doing that...Championship players at best...

Wrong, you don’t need any skill to show passion, in the first half nobody apart from Ryan looked as if they REALLY cared. They probably did but chose to hide. Totally unacceptable

I think a manager with just a little bit of attacking intent before we go a goal down could get more out of these players

Really? So if we went on the front foot as we did second half today we couldn't hold our own? I think you are Hughton indoctrinated.

Yeah man. He keeps forgetting to turn the ‘attack’ switch on.

Or, more realistically, our poor squad with the 16th highest league wage bill isn’t that good?

Don't look there but read enough here to get the gist.

Because they way we play currently is such a success. How many points has our ultra defensive approach earned us away to the big six in two seasons? Zero.

I could start a whole new thread on the wage bill shit after his depressing interview with the Argus. But actions speak louder than words and hopefully we'll be starting next season with a manager that can at least show offensive intent.
