Im related to Brighton fans and they aren’t that positive about Hughton anymore as for the last year they watched defensive football. No matter that he got them promoted to the top league after 30 years away. Boro fans are negative about all ex-managers, Monk, Pulis etc. It’s because they still think they should be a PL club despite being tinpot. It happens Reminds me of a group of fans nearer home.

torres Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 When his boro team came to us they absolutely battered us and looked very good to me High press, fast tempo, created plenty of chances (even tho it was only 2-1 and he got sacked straight after) They were in transition after coming down and from the outside it looked a harsh sacking to me.

It was a very harsh sacking and they swapped him for Pulis and has as been mentioned, that game was both pivotal and rare as it spelt the end for both managers on the day and the usual reactionary doom mongers on here were applauding 'Boro for both their decision to sack and choice of replacement.

Every time we’ve played one of his teams I’ve always been impressed. They look very hard working, with a good tempo to their play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che Adams equalised Fletcher’s goal but we should have won really. There is no doubt though that he did a good job in difficult circumstances. They beat us at theirs in the game after the derby defeat when again, we probably deserved more and I also remember he wound a few up on here with his after match comments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a good Christmas period and I remember it was the 3rd or 4th time he’d started the same 11 and it showed a bit. Their sheer doggedness got them through that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember thinking they played really well that day, couldn’t believe they gave him the boot. Fulham finished 3rd that year and won the play offs, so at the halfway point to see they were 11th has blown my mind a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
