    That's the stupidest thing I've heard in ages! Howson and Tettey are both crocked, there is nobody else to bring. Whilst Hughton played for a draw Fer was a very silly boy today. He let Hughton, the players and the fans down.

    Can't see how you can make such a bold statement considering we've just lost against Fulham and just survived a battering today against one of the weakest sides in the prem!
    The squad is faltering by the game, CH is running out of ideas, why take three strikers who are all very similar and no midfield cover? The mans a fool !

    We've drawn away to a side that almost got a point at Citeh.We have had four points from two games against a prime relegation candidate.I fail to see how that can be portrayed as bad.We are still only three points off tenth place.

    Johnson gave the ball away time and time again, if that was a good game, then I'm chris Hughton

    So what happens next game if Howson is still injured with Fer suspended? Do we just play three across the middle as there are no more midfielders in the squad?

    His passing accuracy seemed pretty good to me, I could be wrong.

    You make the most of what you've got and have to play players out of position, it happens all the time.

    No, you're right. People distort facts to support their arguments on here.

    He won the ball of countless occasions, used it well and scored a very good goal.

    Heaven forbid anyone tries to take a positive out of the game hey :p

    IMO, that was a performance full of character and commitment let down by poor refereeing. Chamakh should have had a red card and of course it was he who drew the penalty for the equaliser at the end of the half. Great goal by Johnson, but Fer had a 'mare. In spite of that City had 55% of possession, 5 shots on target against 2 for Palace and even after the sending off were the better team. City should have won 1-0 if the ref had done his job.

    I don't know what to do, it is a really difficult situation but it is only a little bit Hughton's fault; he didn't ask Howson and Tettey to get injured and he certainly didn't ask Fer to get himself sent off. With any luck Howson will be ready although Hughton might be forced into risking his injury. I would personally rather recall Fox or Surman from loand thab play Russell Martin along side Johnson because I don't want Whittaker on the pitch again. I only blame Hughton for letting our squad get skeletally thin, really out of his control.

    What irks me is the fecking deafening silence from McNally and the board. FFS come out and back him or sack him we fans deserve to know exactly where the board stands on Hughton.

    I suppose you're half right, but not all of our players showed commitment and character. Take nothing away from those who did though, Johnson and Turner deserved 3 points.

    If they remain silent, you can take it as read that CH is staying, and that is what I think is going to happen now.

    Oh, come on! Yes, we're 15th, blah blah blah, we're three points above the relegation zone, blah blah blah.

    I watched Cardiff today and they were MUCH better at defending than we are. I also watched Swansea and they were MUCH better at attacking than we are. We are awful. We are clueless. We can't score and we can't defend. CH has no idea how to use his squad. Our 15th position is a false one and we are going to be relegated because there are too many people who cannot see that the man is simply not up to the job. He is a good Championship manager but he simply does not have the imagination or the vision to cope at a higher level. And we are going to go down and destroy our club's best chance for decades simply because we are not willing to see this man's limitations.
