It was, my point was more taking opportunities is as much about mentality and confidence as it is about ability.

We weren’t bang average at all, we were actually quite decent, certainly in comparison to most of the season.
We actually looked like we knew what to do with the ball and should have been a couple of goals to the good.
I have no argument against the fact that we are struggling for goals still but at least we are starting to look like we deserve to be in this division.

Progress my friends, last nights performance was progress. Hughton will have us challenging next season after somehow lifting the teams confidence.

I think he looks decent, certainly for this division but can also see why he didn’t make it in the Prem. Definitely some potential there though.

I get that people think the game passes him by but i like him. Works hard, makes himself available, can see a passand generally joins up the front play. Already as good as cafu in that role. The introduction of him and garner has definitely improved our midfield imo

So you never got the opportunity to see Robbie Savage play?
Knockheart's antics have been getting on my nerves for a good few weeks now.

Yes, they become unacceptable even to the player's own team when they don't even work

Personally, I would do everything in our power to sign him permanently and then build next seasons attack around him.
He has all the tools for the job in his locker; he has a great range of passing, speeds the play up going forward and works his socks off.
His shooting looks poor as does his scoring potential, but you would be looking at well over 10m to sign a player with those traits.
We will have Johnson back next season for the goal scoring

It feels like Hughton has achieved 100x more in four signings (including Knock) than the club achieved in 14 over the summer window

Yes, hopefully that will resonate with the people in charge; give him the resources he needs, which I am sure will be modest, and then stand back and let him get on with the job.

The difference in midfield has been night and day. Last night the midfield played with power and purpose, moved the ball around quickly, made driving runs and looked dangerous. They harried, worked, and won the loose balls.
The new signings have been much better, but it's also helping the current players. I've been critical of Lolley for a while now, but last night he looked much improved. Closer to the player who was so important to us in previous seasons.

Savage was loved by his own teams fans in the main despite being a cock but Knockaert is beyond embarrassing at times. Shame because he is a decent player.

What i like is that he is not flashy, just gets on with the job, agree with mao i dont think he has a shot but lots of other quality.
Will stick my neck out and say if we secure krov and garner, keep joe, fig and mcmountain then i can see us making a strong push next season.

I dont like it either but when everyone else is doing it... back in the day when we didnt do stuff like that i remember being so frustrated at other teams 'cheating' to get a free kick.
Its part of the game sadly. Look at that pen for liverpool the other week- on the very, very edge of the rules imo
The free kick he won where his cross was almost headed in, didnt look like much to me but no complaints if we score.
Would be nice if no one did it but i think that ship has sailed imo

Has everything except a goal threat in him, which can be an issue if you’re only setting up with 1 forward and 1 CAM. Very impressed other than that though.
I think you're missing the pressing work that he does off the ball and overlooking his intelligent movement.
He is a better 'team player' striker that still actually scores than anyone else I can remember us having in recent memory.

I like him, he has made a difference to the midfield. His passing is great and he works hard but, as others have said, he lacks goals.
Sorry to say this but he's not as good in the No 10 role as Carvalho. I still don't understand why we couldn't integrate him. Krov probably just works harder than Carv.
