Is Hughton too negative in the big games?

FWIW, I think there's something in what THPP is saying. We/CH do seem to approach away games differently and this tends to nullify what I think is our best attribute, which is very much in evidence in home games, and that is an intensity of play. We went very cagey in the first quarter of the game, but picked things up thereafter. It was a fairly even game and we probably had more decent chances than them.

Been 2nd/1st for most of the season and so we should be one of the best teams in this division. Don't care if people don't agree with me but that was another dire away performance. No point dressing it up with shots on target and other stats. We can be quite dull away from home.

Well I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, but I'd still say the fairly frequent under-performances are a serious cause for concern, and will remain so for the rest of the season.

Mate, the COGNOSCENTI are NEVER wrong. Just takes the herd a while to catch up

The latest form stats say we are improving our away results.
Over 8 matches we were 12th best, whereas over the last 4 matches we've moved up to 9th.

They may well do, but I think we all know that we've lost a fair few away games of late, whereas there was only one in 2016. So all that's saying is that on the whole home performances have improved. Or am I misreading things?

Probably because we are going for wins instead of draws. We are 6 points ahead of last year, so must be doing something better ie home form.
Er, thanks, I think?You're some dreadful, Brexit-supporting liberal, but a proven good guy with it

If anyone is patronising to someone, then that someone is drawn into addressing it. You would do too, and I have had to address it 5 times now. What hacks me off is getting drawn into wasting time; My time, TB's own time, and now your time, that none of us will get back.
Might not be popular but IMO entirely accurate!
You say "weeks"...I say "since he got a new contract". Tomer's "goals to minutes played" is exceptionally good (and better than Murray's) so I'm somewhat baffled why CH keeps picking him...particularly away from home.
So maybe she was a bit patronising, it's no big deal. You seemed to be more upset than was warranted.
If we were that worried about our time we shouldn't be on here all the time.

That's fine. I've explained what irritates me and now you are doing exactly what I said irritates me.
I'm better off not making any comments if people want to passive aggressively draw me into pointless discussions that have no bearing of any subject matter. Just the fact that you have jumped all over it yourself makes this point very clear. You know as well as I do that to accuse someone of being upset is a carrot for a response so I do understand the game that you want to play. No I'm not upset just bored of this bullshit and people goading for an argument.
