I dont think opinion on here or other forums is necessarily a valid temperature check or what has got previous managers sacked. However when the mood at home games turns things usually go from bad to worse. Poor old CH has only had 2 games at the CG, even Mclaren got longer than that before we turned on him.

0-0, Back, Gabriel, Johnson, Mighten just starting out their pro careers, Fornah on the bench to come on, academy grad Yates and famously confidence based player Figs on the pitch. Do we really think booing them when they're not even losing, in fact a relatively even first half overall, is going to be inspiring? Booing might work on a bunch of seasoned pros but not a bunch of kids. Also, to prospective players looking on (Garner etc), not exactly the environment you want to come back to.

You know the point of the game that went well, when the crowd got into it, got fired up and we scored.

I know everyone will kick off and say we've got a right to boo etc etc. Fine but you can't claim that is going to have a positive impact on the team. Given there's little fans can do to help, not booing feels like one thing we could do. 

Boo when you're 4-0 down at half time sure, not 0-0 with a bunch of kids on the field.

Rant 1 over  :D

He needs to get his finger out and give his manager something to work with. He's the owner of this start to the season.

And if we lose the next two games, especially the second, last night will feel like a walk in the park.

Did you go to the game?

How did they respond?

Chanting 'you don't know what youre doing' when he pulled Mighten off for Carvalho, kind of tells me the fans weren't happy with Hughton, as opposed to the likes of Back, Mighten, Johnson, Zinckernagel etc

It's just a shame that boo's can't be deflected from the side to the main target of a fans derision.

Spot on and agreed, I was at the game and my own personal opinion was that "the fans" we're  letting Hughton know that they were not happy with him, I didn't boo anyone but I was far from happy with the manager and I'll admit that I was far from happy with certain players that were playing last night.
