Brighton fans are frightened and have reason to be so, we don't.

Can you imagine anyone doing better with the squad we currently have? Watching Southampton tonight I was trying to imagine our players passing like theirs were and just ended up laughing. We've got a team that's no good for anything but Roy's functional style - and the worrying thing is that we're paying the players a ton for it, not developing any young players, and have an ageing squad. Our time in this league is ticking away unless recruitment is sorted.

Like he hasn’t played Tosun, Guaita, McCarthy, Cahill, Meyer, Batshuayi, Riedewald, RLC, Zaha...

The problem is not simply one of Hodgson being stubborn or dimensional (if ones buys that), it is our long term recruitment. We have a distinct lack of effective squad depth at full back, a player like Cabaye who could tackle and pass, as well as up front. For many games who is Hodgson meant to bring in? He has been tasked with guaranteeing survival. When he had players like RLC and Bats he has played them. We even played really nice football when we had players like that, but we have not brought in players like that long term. The back up we has is effective but largely functional, as are many of our first eleven. Add that to their age and we have a team that look knackered when asked to play more than a game a week, and little toon ability genuinely to rotate the side (assuming Hodgson would do that).

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Even with a fully fit squad, RH would still set up at home with 3 defensive mids, because that is what he does. The proof is in the pudding.
The core negativity is essential to his football philosophy.

Sorry but people calling for Roy’s head are ridiculous.

2 seasons ago we had a (at the time) french international in his prime at centre back. And England & French international in midfield. Aaron Wan-Bissaka & Fosu Mensah battling it out for right back. And Hodgson has us playing some of the best attacking football under that 442 system we’ve ever played at Selhurst. And it was Roy who oversaw that. The Leicester win epitomised it.

At the start of the season, anyone would take one look at the 11 we’re fielding at the moment and say we’re in serious danger. And yet we’re not. We’re 4 points off United in 5th. Have safety in touching distance. And just drew 2-2 with City at the Etihad. This is all a result of Roy Hodgson.

We’re not playing great but what do people expect? The point is, Roy is good at utilising what he has at his disposal. What he has at his disposal is really not all that. And whatever you wanna throw at him, he’s had next to no investment since the day he walked into the club.

There is no manager currently available who would do a better job than Roy. And the comparisons with the Pulis’ and Allardyces of this world is just a total insult to his entire career. He is much more than a geezer who just comes in to keep us up. But until the club has more fund available to spend, I honestly have no idea what you’re expecting. We’re lucky to have the guy.

We're the Arthur over ere!

He's played the same way every game since we played Man U in the 3rd match of the season.

Injuries are down to an ageing squad and lack of subs. He's had years to sort that out, but hasn't because it would mean taking a risk.

When you see how well Reidewald has played it makes you wonder why he hasnt given him or Mayer of Camarasa a run in the team? Or why Ayew didn't get a look in last season. Even Sorloth is now top scorer in Turkey (with a better record than Cenk had).
