He has stopped us conceding as our fullbacks don't wander as much. Thats the battening down of hatches. If you brought in Guardiola half way through a season he wouldn't be able to do much with our awful squad. That is not Hughton's fault. He is marginally better than Hyypia but you need to let...
We need somebody to build from scratch. May as well be him.
Its not easy coming in halfway through a season. He has only brought in had time to bring in two players, one of which is our best player and one our worst!
All you can do coming in that late is batten down the hatches and stop us...

There was nothing to like at all in 120 minutes. Only enjoyment was laughing at players for being diving and shouty idiots. Laughing at them wears thin after a while.
I prefer watching...
Im Football Manager you can get a load of stats per player like Games Won %, Games Lost % and I think even a +/- figure (number of goals team has scored whilst player on pitch less the number of goals team has scored whilst player on pitch) Same as they do in ice hockey...
Expected to come on here this morning to see lots of people saying it was his fault we lost last night.
Then a few people saying, don't be unfair its not all his fault. He has a bright future etc.
What's our average points per game with JFC starting vs when he doesn't start? I can't be...
I thought Freedman better fit into 2 though, is he dour and miserable or just annoying?
And Clement would have a foreign influence, doesn't have to be foreign himself
