Hughton out

[jamie the seagull]

The only FACT in this conversation, is that neither you, nor I, have the faintest idea what Calderwood does, so therefore are in absolutely no position to question him. You have as much knowledge of his ability at his job as he has of yours at yours. You are just doing the classic idiotic football fan thing of looking for a scapegoat because we've lost a few in a row, and you want someone to blame. Get a grip.

One thing we do know is neither him or hughton has had an impact on the team...
The team did not exactly come storming out after his half time talk....

 

[nwgull]

He inherited a dire team and has somehow managed to make them even worse........

How do your work that one out? We had 23 points from 24 games when he joined; we've earned 23 from the 19 games that he's been in charge.

Why are you even bothering? Jones got it in the neck for the entire time he was no.2 from a large portion of NSC for seemingly no reason, now he's apparently the saviour in waiting.

It makes no sense, it likely never will, but finding things to blame the assistant manager for looks to have become the new 'thing'.

Anyway, we all know it's the kitman's fault.

Having not played a game of footy for 20 years plus I can't understand why we defend when we're up front and find space when we're defending I used to think that you run into space to make yourself available ? but the game has obviously changed !!!! Reverse that effect and we might get results ... goodnight .........

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Honestly can't believe there's worse teams than ours in this league. I really pity their supporters.

With another 3 games to go that will soon be 23 points from 22 games......

I can imagine that Chris's remit when he was taken on was keep us up, no matter what it takes, how crap it is, how defensive you have to play just don't let us go down. The guy is hardly going to be taking any risks, mixing it up in any way at the moment. I am hoping that we get to the summer without going down, then the guy gets enough money to give it a good shot with his players, his tactics, and then we can judge him imo. His signing of Kayal is encouraging, the bloke must be knackered after carrying the team tonight!

9 hours without a goal is awful and tonight bored me senseless, but it's not like he had a massive pot to spend in January and the loan players are going to be crap, or they wouldn't be out on loan.

He has form of getting teams out of this position, he's British, he knows the league and English football, is that not what we were all crying out for six months ago?

Which is worse than 23 from 24?

Is he doing a job then. Explain it to me. Why did we need him? We were doing ok, it appears that Jones input has been diluted. Looks like Jobs for the boys to me. Another waste of wages. That's my opinion and you are entitled to yours. Results and performances seem to have worsened since he arrived.

Every manager likes to bring in an assisted that he likes to work with and someone that he can trust. Otherwise if his number 2 is not loyal to him or 100% on his side then any negative things which happen within the club or in the dug out or on the training pitch get leaked to the press.

Nathan Jones is a nice guy but until CH really gets to know what his strengths and weaknesses are then he does right to bring in his own number 2

Hughton`s only task this season was to keep us in the Championship, which it would seem he has achieved. Unfortunately, to do this has meant having to play defensive, hard to beat, negative football. But needs must and all that. You cant expect sexy football and goals galore in the midst of a relegation battle, which we have been in since he took over. He`s kept us up, thats all we should judge (and thank) him for this season. Next season is the time to really judge him and his ability to manage a football team.

This. He knew enough to see that, away from home in particular, we were crap. The bore draws against Hudds, Cardiff, Wednesday and particularly Millwall are the difference between us being 7 points clear instead of right in the shit.

feel really bad for you guys that you hired him after nearly a year of failed job applications

norwich fans wondered what calderwood did too

on those points though, he has no form of getting teams out of your position. he's managed just 2 seasons in the champ before and both times with teams fresh out the premier league with a lot of talent

 

[DanRedman]

I would say it's far too early to call for 'Hughton Out'. The football is dire, nothing positive about it at all, but assess the summer signings. Difficult to say who we will bring in/ get rid of (quite a few names spring to mind when I say get rid of), but all I'm going to say is Beram Kayal, looks a great signing, I'd like to think that was a Hughton signing. But, far too early for this post

My worry though, is that norwich fans described this to a tea, when he had his own team. They say he sucked the life out the fans, played defensive football at home and gave up away if the other team scored.
not looking good at the moment

New thing? Have you forgotten the amount of shit that idiots gave Dean White when he was here?

Blaming assistant managers is one of the top idiotic things it's possible to do as a football fan.

 

[Pickles]

But we also could have done better.

Just 23 points from 19 games under Hughton, poor show I reckon.

I doubt whether Mourhinho would have got more with this pile of cack.

Although it really does worry me that he seems to rate Best....

Very much this. Won't stop the bedwetters though

 

[brightonmark1234]

the football under hughton is so boring and painful to watch but i love my club

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Hughton has made us competitive in basically every game we've played under him. My guess is he felt he needed to do that to make sure we would pick up a few 1-0 wins and goalless draws - giving us enough points to get us safe. I think he's done that.

The summer is crucial. No one is going to be satisfied with similar results next season, so I would hope he'll have some fresh faces in next season - starting with a goalscoring target man. Frankly we need midfielders and wingers who are going to score too.

 

[Husty]

Wasn't great today, two very predictable and ineffective like for like substitutions, the world's most isolated striker and having a right back as our second most advanced player for large stretches of the game.. Could've done a lot better.
