depends a bit on the performances

bit harsh to sack someone for losing to Chelsea and Arsenal.
The Stoke game is key - some people are saying we have been playing 'the same negative crap as last year' but I haven't seen any evidence of that. We have had a positive approach to all the home games, and the two away games haven't really told us anything. The Hull game we actually did dominate possession and attacking and we couldn't get a kick off Spurs. We won't be alone in that (Cardiff couldn't either yesterday and they were at home).

It seems to me that the main problem this season has been the execution by the players of the final ball (sh*t cross after sh*t cross after sh*t cross) rather then negative tactics from the manager (i.e. I'm far from convinced yet that the problems are Hughton's fault)

However if we go to Stoke and play the same way that we did last year my opinion will change.
