[Albion] Southampton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Going back to the Swansea v Liverpool tactics for this game. Who knows, it might work this time.

That’s understandable when the opposition are elite, Southampton are pants much like ourselves. Show some willingness to attack PLEASE!! To go down without trying is unacceptable.

 

[Goberpiles]

What is the point of signing an injured player at this rate we will be lucky to see him play this season, loan signing on the bench, I’d have thrown him into it. Not impressed thought we would go down fighting playing attacking football, let’s see what happens.

 

[Wellesley]

Yep, I was hoping to see Hazard up front.

Well we're normally haphazard up front.

Just another example of Hughton being out of his depth. And totally devoid of any tactical sense. He is a one trick pony...We will be 1-0 down within 25mins against a poor Southampton side and the game will be over. That selection gives them all the incentive they need...I really hope this is bounced 100 times later and I'm proved totally wrong. But it won't be. We are going down unless this approach changes and changes very quickly.

Two words sum up my view of CH - I despair.

Haven't read all the posts, mostly because the whingers are out in force, but from what I've seen of the line up.....I'm quietly confident. I think I'm looking forward to this

Whinging is one thing, being disheartened is entirely different. Maybe worth reading the posts before pontificating

 

[Perfidious Albion]

I despair of the whinging ninnies who post negativity before we have kicked off. Get the result, at least before you moan.

Don't blame you Coldean - And we haven't even kicked off yet. Some of the comments about the best manager we've ever are quite disgraceful! This time last year we were singing we're on our way and scoring hatfuls (under the same manager). This is a different league and a different challenge - stay together FFS!

When Hughton first arrived. I was one of the few who said he was a great appointment and will take us up. I reckon 70/30 we're very uninspired... I also said he isn't up to managing in Premership, which he isn't. There's no shame in being a top class championship manager. I wish I was..But this is above his level.....and before people start moaning about money. We have actually spent a damned sight more than most.

A particularly depressing view given how positive you two usually are.

 

[Steve Foster]

If only should have scored

 

[AmexRuislip]

Barn door shooting

 

[Peter Ward]

should be 1 up after 30seconds?

Have we scored yet.

 

[Kneon Light]

I think you can attribute that, in part, to Bournemouth’s complete inability to defend.

We are defensive - It's Hughton's fault.
We attack - it's the inability of the opposition.

Unbelievable!

 

[bhawoddy]

Iz great chance 1st min. Gotta do better

 

[TomandJerry]

So close there!

 

[maffew]

If only we practised shooting

 

[Triggaaar]

I also said he isn't up to managing in Premership, which he isn't.

Nonsense.

.....and before people start moaning about money. We have actually spent a damned sight more than most.

Er, no we haven't. Do you understand what 'most' means? The cost of our squad is a tiny fraction of the cost of other squads, we're in the bottom few.
