I have never been keen on CH although, as with any manager, happy to get behind them and hope they do well.
The points above about Ch at newcastle, birmingham, brighton are all excellent points but sadly irrelevent. He may well have done well at those clubs playing attacking free scoring football but we can only go on what he does here.
At no point would i attribute the failings of last season on him. The signings made last summer ensured we had a poor unbalanced squad. CH kept us up. Could he have made it more comfortable... i believe so.
But we go on his performance now and compare it to the last year.
We dont look like scoring the goals to get us promoted. And we wont setting up like we do. He persists with the 2dcm home and away and that is stifiling any creativity. We just dont create enough. Its like he is scared to let the team play.
Playing against 10 men, 25 minutes to go and losing 2-1. Perfect opportunity to go for it. Ok bournemouth looked dangerous but thats because we allowed them to. That was CH decision and one that cost us.
Picking players on merit. If carv had played like johnson did yesterday people would have been writing him off. Samba responsible for at least 2 goals in 2 games costing us points. The persistant playing of figs last season when he was, for the most part, terrible. He had Soh who could have played. Picking colback and yates together now 2 games in a row when its clear it is ineffective. Dropping mighten and playing lolley who was poor agains cov and poor yesterday.
Playing grabban last seaso was understandable when the alternative was taylor. They were both poor. But to have a player so bang out of form and make them captain was a joke
CH needs to start picking players on their form and performance rather than precious history.
CH has been a wonderful manager in the past. He is a great bloke by all accounts. His tactics and set up have cost us in the last, have cost us this season and will again unless he allows a little more freedom in the way we play.
I dont want to read the stats from CH previous jobs. I want to see him produce something here. He has had, barring 3 games, a whole season.
I have had time to sleep on yesterdays result. Whilst i wouldnt be unhappy to see CH go i would rather he get it right here. People will call for patience and state that there is 2 weeks of the window left. But lets say we lose on wednesday and fail to win the next 2 or 3. The season could already be about fighting at the wrong end.
