extremely impressive, but raises questions like where did it go wrong this season, oh yeh we blame the players and delight at the stability
Firstly, Hughton hasn't yet had a full season at the club, so hasnt yet had a chance to build the side that he wants. He has been forced to use the squad that he inherited Stability from the top down
i was going to say i don't mind but unfortunately i do and at this moment in time Hughton just hasn't done enough for me this season, doesn't neccessarily mean he can't be a huge hit next season though, but this season has done nothing for Hughton's credibility really
I think managers have to have the ability to get an inherited team firing and winning, he did the spade work at the start and then started picking up points but then we just levelled out at low level mediocre
i guess if he had tried many, many differant things and player combinations he would risk attracting criticism but to be honest he didn't really try anything at all, he is a believer in sameness
things that showed glimmers like players making an impact from the bench like Knocky, Murphy and Grabban, he didn't persevere with, he went back to starting them and in my opinion lost the edge an experienced pro can bring to the team from the bench, these guys are fit but they have an edge played later and some if not the majority of there impact was from the bench but Hughton likes sameness, 90 min gruellers where players get tired and lose there class.
Overall Hughton is good for opposition managers because it is easy to predict the set up and style and emphasis when really the managers job is to have a paradigm parrellel view of strategy and detail and ways to win, this is the concern, he hasn't shown an ounce of tactical astuteness, even then for every ounce of astuteness big nogs of clumsy predictable reactionary dross plops
a fluid volatile environment of liquid change would be more beneficial, even no manager or Brazil or some maverick would be no worse than what i have seen this season
i think he had a perfect storm at Brighton, good players, good everything and it all came together, depends on the clearout but our set up still seems a bit poisonous/big floundering giant syndrome/player power/whispers in corriders whatever these are beyond the scope of the managers job
I'm disillusioned generally and Hughton has grossly disappointed and noone speaks truths really anymore or gets upset and Hughton is the same dull personality every game towing the party line and goes nowhere near anything vaguely controversial
If you can only change 1 thing you change the manager, if you can change everything i think manager goes either way
Why would Hughton be able to come in and completely change the results with the same players? I don't get what you expect him to do, he's not on the pitch too.
That last line is just so frustrating? WHY???? What do you expect a new manager to do differently than any of the previous aside from buy a load more new players. It's this desperation for short term success that is the reason owners listen to fans and sack managers constantly.
Rather than look at changing a bloke that really doesn't have as much impact as some make out in most cases, the only way to improve is to actually get better players, be it via youth, signings, loans, coaching of the current players.
You won't find many good teams with bad players
