Albeit that GP said after the game that he ‘got lucky’

It had to be the first half against Newcastle, an absolute horror show of negativity.
Coupled together with his tactics basically saying that the players he has are not good enough to go forward and then at the end of each match saying that with a club like this, this is the best we can do.
He forgot that Tony Bloom is a massive fan.
But I am very grateful for what he done, and I would love to see Chris take over a League One club and do the same, maybe his experience at Brighton will have made him an even better manager.

Not sure I buy how attacking a substitution it was. Sure, he didn't make us more defensive, but it was two like for like changes. It didn't make us defensive, but we were no more defensive than if he had say brought on Trossard for Gross or even Webster for Burn.
Yes we were obviously more attacking yesterday than under Chris, but the difference really was that we started with 2.5 strikers instead of 1.5 not that he swapped two of those strikers for two more. Hughton swapped Murray for Andone basically every game and Locadia for Maupay is fairly close to a like for like change.

MOTD interview with Gary Lineker and less explicitly here https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/my-albion-tv/videos/1307291/potter-dream-start/

I saw it as changing the type of forwards to pose more of a threat against the high line that Watford were trying to keep in the second half.
Eh? Nothing about TB's thoughts in that interview, or about the Bournemouth or Cardiff games. Lots of posts on NSC about how TB 'must have' decided to sack CH after the X or Y game; not a shred of supporting evidence.

Apologies, somehow I thought you had questioned Potter saying he got lucky with the subs working out so well.

thank you I was sure that I had read it somewhere.
You don’t know that mutual consent wasn’t offered to Chris......

If it was why would he accept it? He did what was required of him, just. Why would he agree to go for what was presumably much less money than he’d get if sacked? The fact that TB wanted him out came as a shock according to CH so I can’t see him even contemplating mutual consent. Why should he?
Exactly.......doesn’t mean he wasn’t offered it though.

Wow. That quote right there highlights the fundamental difference between Potter and Hughtons football philosophy.
Does it? I’m not sure it does
Fairy nuff - hadn't seen that.
Interestingly, that article doesn't say anywhere that TB said that, or told The Argus reporter that he considered sacking TB earlier - so is it The Argus speculating? Or maybe they'd just been reading NSC!

TB sacking himself would be novel.
