[Albion] Hughton supporters

[Sussex Nomad]

Says the person refusing to debate and making vague snidy statements about other posters

You need to calm down.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

This feels like Brexit with all the remainer bullies throwing their weight around. Best of luck to you.

Bullies?

 

[Kneon Light]

You need to calm down.

and you need to show more respect to people who may have a different viewpoint to you.

Haha... I thought Bens Grandads post of Stephens as player of the season had made my day, you just did!

You and Thunder Bolt should form an allegiance/alliance, but get your story's together. He seems to think I say to much about wanting CH out and you seem to think I don't. And the fact both of you are in blind faith of the dirge we have been dished up in the past 3 months you still think he is the right man. I do respect both of yours total ignorance towards football. Perhaps you are sick of full attendances at the Amex, assuming you go, and want more empty seats, as recently seen. Can we be friends?

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

You mean the way he saw what was wrong, changed it and got us back into the game? Yep - completely lost it!

It did take him longer than anyone else in the stadium to see Izquierdo was having an off day, and the Kayal Bissouma switch was down to an injury. So no.

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 understand wanting a change of manager (strongly disagree but understand) - can't understand the almost glee from some posters when things go wrong? Maybe you just get some kind of weird pleasure from moaning all the time?

Bless you. Not friends then?

In years gone by you were told by the happy clapping lickers to go support Man U and now they tell you to go to Man City, how times change

I was thinking more Notts County personally, at least they go down with a fight.

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 were - no arguments) that he should also get credit for an excellent 2nd half. Seems rather blinkered to only judge on 45 minutes of football rather than the full 90.

Mate, I disagree with you but if you want to be friends that's fine with me

But they go down - unlike us.

Another one that resorts to name calling against people with a different view than them.
Pathetic

 

[dangull]

Burnley playing the same negative anti football v City were accused of playing. These are a tough league.

Fair enough, but I spent much of that first half watching Chris on the touchline, to see if the stick I had given him on here this week was perhaps over the top. But, as we stood off Newcastle, he didn't do anything, just stood there with his hands in his pockets.

Here's my view on 90 min's

The starting formation was an experiment with very curious timing, failed imo.

Izzy has been gash all season and seemingly is carrying an injury. Even if not injured another odd selection choice

Andone was a potential red in waiting, who knows if he would have come off had he not got the yellow?

Kayal should have been off after 15 minutes not 50

Newcastle checked out at half time and made us look good, in the same way we made Cardiff look like Barca

Are there any neutrals (ambivalent in respect to CH) that believe we were anything other than very fortunate, a statement you could apply to many of our 'points for' this season imo (and I'm not ambivalent obviously)

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 see him making a sub after 45 minutes that changed the game. It's certainly something I'd like to see him do more often.

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.

But why change formation putting players out of position? Andone is not a right side midfielder so that was the time to make the change.

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?
