M Royds Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Why do we grab on to bizarre comparables, (while ignoring other comparables more suitable), to justify an argument? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand how folk can compare two completely different clubs and two completely different managers. At the time when Brighton took an upturn they had just had a new stadium and was very much on a financial upturn and they worked the market extremely well...two completely different sets of scenarios to us!

poite Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) I'm absolutely all for giving jos a good fair crack at it next season. But if there was a decision to be made about whether we went into next season with Jos or Hughton in charge id be giving jos his p45 immediately Edited April 17, 2018 by poite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLS about that? Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 He deserves a fair crack at it next season although I don't think Chansiri will be so hesitant to pull the trigger this time around due to the complete sh*t show that this season turned in to with sticking with Carlos. 10-15 games should do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suppose in life there always needs to be someone that says “I disagree!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwokenGiant Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I think the injury situation will work in our favour. Jos has been able to see at firsthand how good our squad is in terms of depth, including introducing a number of promising youngsters to the mix. Some players have stepped up and some haven’t, I think because of this his recruitment strategy is a lot more clearer than what it would have been if he had not seen certain players in a competitive situation. When considering the situation he’s inherited and managed (and considering his previous successes in Germany) I think it’s only fair to give Jos the opportunity to continue to take things forward - something that I am sure Norwich regretted not doing for Hughton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofbert2 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 The conclusion I have drawn is that most fans who post on club forums are fickle, reactionary knownowts who are as thick as mince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jos was doing better than Hughton in his first 9 games, but unfortunately the last 4 games have turned it in Hughton’s favour. tho I really doubt Hughton had the injury problems that we have right this season Was Brighton a full strength squad in playoffs 2016?

Birley Owl 1867 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I thought this at the time. We had 2 playoffs seasons but didn't make it like Brighton. We both had a lull season where we struggled. Brighton went on to get playoffs and then promoted. Let's hope we're in for some fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
