He let Dawson go past him in the first half for a chance that really should have resulted in a goal (Dawson's touch let him down and allowed Ryan to make a decent save). Ryan had a go at Jose after the incident. I wonder if his substitution was "punishment" from Hughton for not doing his defensive duties?
He must've had a knock, surely. March is lucky to even be on the bench with his recent performances.
I am sure that is why he was subbed off - for not defending well rather than not attacking. I would have left him on to attack
They said on TV that it was not a knock, it was tactical

On the NBC commentary they reported early in the second half that the word from the Albion camp was Jose wasn't injured.

March was poor but better than AK who was obvious choice to go off.

I lost interest after that decision. Knockaert needs to start pulling his weight away from home.

AK should have been subbed for not doing his attacking responsibility's....or who ever let Evans go unmarked for the 1st goal.....taking Izguierdo off was a cheap shot made by Hughton to make himself look decisive.
Izguierdo was our only hope 1st half and with their aging team tiring he would have caused more issues.
£13.5m player subbed at half time , why would you spend anymore on a striker and let Hughton lose on them.

Jose looked poor first half. On at least 2 occasions Bong put him down the line onto the fullback, but Jose tried to lay it back and TWICE, he mislaid it and they attacked. It was so sloppy as to be unreal. He was far too passive, not taking his marker on. Yes, on 2 occasions he also looked dangerous around their box, but not nearly enough. I can see why he came off because you simply cannot have a passenger just because he MIGHT do something.
I thought Jose was standout against Bournemouth, by Monday and today, I simply don't understand how his performance levels can have so much disparity.

Heard at the ground that someone said Hughton and Jose had a bust up as the team left the pitch at half time?

The amount of times he gave the ball back to them, that doesn't surprise me at all.

He looked very predicatable today, get the ball cut inside pass to a WBA player.
Doesn’t look a happy bunny and hasn’t for weeks!

March was no better, we looked worse when he was on.
Today was really poor.

Probably pissed off that he has to defend 1st attack 2nd

Our wingers have really struggled, when they play well, we play well, but blimey, when they don't we just can't threaten.
Quite. For 25 mins everything Knockaert touched turned to dust, he literally was hopeless.

He might not be happy, but there is responsibility that comes with a £15m transfer fee, of which he would have personally financially benefited from. He needs to start delivering.

Sometimes no matter how big the fee thing's don't always work out the way you would like.
Majority of the team were dreadful today.
