We're an alright team until teams attack us!

Not a bad performance, but cut open so easily twice. Far too often we are cut open away from home in the blink of an eye.

The fact is we've won twice away from home this season. Once at Huddersfield where we were being dominated until the red card, and also at Newcastle - where we scored through a fluke goal and offered nothing else all game. It's dire and fair play to anyone who went up to Leicester tonight, as i've never felt so unenthusiastic about following the Albion away from home.

If a keeper made as many ****ing howlers as Murray did tonight they wouldn't get close to the team Saturday.

 

[BevBHA]

Murray is finished. Andone has to start Saturday.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I’m still genuinely baffled at that free kick. That’s Casper Schmeicel in goal and you’re 35 yards out with Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk in the box.

Oh and you’re Jurgen Locadia.

 

[GT49er]

I said after Leicester at home that Hughton had to go.

And you're just as wrong now as you were then.

 

[BN41Albion]

Seems strange after a loss but we are more likely to stay up after tonight. Cardiff losing at home now means they only have 4 home games left to our six.

That fact has cheered me up slightly... Although if we don't win Saturday...

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

That was a really strong away performance. Although upset at losing, there were lots of positives. Last thing we needed was defeat with nothing to take into Saturday. As it is, we know if we sustain these levels, we will start winning again.

Nothing wrong with taking positives.
But what twists my balls is when managers say we created plenty of chances and on another day would have put a couple away.
Not good enough, if you create good chances you must put some of them away.

One, actually two things I took from today, other than Montoya we were playing last season's team, that is not progression. Second, and it has been said so many times on here this year, Bissouma needs to be starting.

And then Bong

Did anyone think that Vardy should have received a red card instead of a yellow for that tackle?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Most posters can’t stand the work of Gross this season, so not a negative.

His back-heel to Murray was sublime, and still the best deadball option we have. Locadia's free-kick near the end shows the importance of having a player who can take a free kick.

 

[Icy Gull]

That was a much better performance than I was expecting

Roll on Saturday, I’ll have a dry bed tonight.

Oh and the mutterings of Hughton Out are as obvious as night following day. Ridiculous idea imo

 

[Easy 10]

I said after Leicester at home that Hughton had to go. I was shot down for it. Half a season later it remains more the case than ever. He’s a nice guy but at this level he’s a loser, as much as it pains me to say it. I wish he was up to it but he’s just not.

If Murray did his job tonight we wouldn't even be having this conversation - both those misses were shocking, inexplicable. Some very decent approach play and long, long periods in control, but once again, our appalling finishing in CRUCIAL moments of the game has let another team off the hook. The Duffy header as well. Knocky could have done better too. Leicester well and truly got away with it, and now we are well and truly in the shit. There's nothing Hughton could've done about our basic ineptitude in front of goal, and thats whats cost us again tonight.

What exactly are we taking into Saturday's game? Zero points again from an away game.

Hughton needs replacing. That will annoy many on here but he is taking us down. There is no confidence out there. Remember a while back people were saying "Look what happened to Norwich". We are this season's Norwich.

And the goal difference improved in our favour as well.

£75m on the bench £30m starting 11

But he didn't, and we are.

 

[timbha]

We should of spent large on a striker 30-35m Thought one would of come in the last window. We can’t finish for shite.

2 questions:
1) £35m on who?
2) where do we get the £35m from?

oh, and it's "have", not "of"
