[Albion] Where does the buck stop?

[Follow That Seagull]

Now it's been a couple days since my last controversial thread. See here https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showthread.php?360347-Is-this-it-for-Chris-Time-for-Hughton-to-go

But Iv'e been doing alot of thinking and I'll put my hands up and admit I can be a total spanner at times and i apologise. Looking back i see how tough CH has it with the tools (finances) amongst other things he has been given to work with. In truth he's doing a fantastic job with the limits he has in place compared to other manager and would be an honour to keep him around even if relegation happens. I would also like to formally apologise for allowing myself to get worked up and firing off on a rant when i hadent thought about it properly.

Though another thing that had got me thinking is where does the buck stop. Could it be down to one thing or a few things? With the Team, Winstanley, Coaches or dare i say uncle Tony?

No this no way means I'm pointing fingers but the buck has to stop somewhere.

Oh and before i finish. FYI I am a Brighton and Hove Albion fan for the last time. My first game was Brighton Vs Barnet at their ground when Emeka Ifejiagwa scored that thunderbolt for us.

All partly to blame in my eyes . But I said it at the start of the season I don't think Chris is a premier league manager .

 

[BadFish]

The Premier League is hard.

Who am I blaming because we are not immediately an established Premier League side?

No-one, the Premier League is hard.

But clearly not enough. May I suggest you contemplate further upon the correct placement of apostrophes and spaces?

 

[StonehamPark]

It's all Ryan Harley's fault.

I apologise for my awful spelling. I'm sorry if it burns your eyes.

The club tried and failed to get at least one striker in the last window, and our failure to score is seeing us drop down the table. That is the overarching problem. If Hughton gets sacked then the question would be how might he have done with a decent striker.

With me.

It’s also our appalling defending, particularly from set pieces. Cost us points against Stoke, Everton, Bournemouth (twice), West Brom etc.........even turning just a couple of those into wins/draws instead of draws or defeats would have made the picture look much better than it is.

You're a hard one to impress. Only six teams have conceded fewer goals than Brighton so far this season. Agree we're vulnerable from set pieces, but appalling defending is as sensationalist and one eyed as you can get. https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/goals_conceded

Haven’t we conceded more than any other team from set pieces ? Given the relatively (to our league position) no. of goals we’ve conceded, it’s not very good is it........I’d imagine CH is livid about it.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

A more constructive start point might be around understanding who is accountable and who responsible. No one is to blame because there is no blame to new apportioned here.

You said "appalling defending, especially set pieces". I'm making the point that apart from set pieces, our defending has been world class. With only six teams conceding fewer goals (and that includes the set pieces) or defending cannot be described as appalling. Incredibly. Despite being seventh best in the Premier League. It could still be considerably improved by sorting out the set pieces. That impressed the crap out of me.

Typical we must blame someone for only being 16th in the Premier League

Maybe we should try and stop conceding so many set peices.

There is a shared alround responsibility here, strikers don't grow on trees and those that are available will be looking for high wages in the PL and to play with a team that has prospects, the recruiting teams task is unenviable. TB and PB are no fools despite comments on here and i'm sure the club will only spend what it can afford. CHs strategy, game plan and team selections have been an enigma which have led to poor results (presumably there is consultation with those above) and we have been punished for poor decision making on the pitch both in attack and defence.

As a collective we are much better than our position belies.

Fair enough....all even that is, in part, due to sometimes having what feels like a 10 man defence with our wingers hampered by having to act as auxiliary fullbacks and our 2 CMs seemingly afraid to go forward.

I genuinely feel as though we’re going to concede when there is a corner now (appears a lot of us on Saturday thought similarly judging by the conversations). Shame we don’t appear to offer any threat from corners of our own too.

Strange, because in your habit of only starting threads, being self obsessed and poor grasp of your mother tongue you come over exactly like someone who used to post on here and got outed as a Palace troll....
