    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    Another example of why the term legend is much over used in it all ;)

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    Alright Victor Mature. The irony of a troll saying he’s not but in the same sentence saying how much of a kick you get from my reaction....I guess that passed you by when you were being oh so grown up. I hardly remember anyone on NSC in terms of barneys with because as quickly as you do you’re...

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    Only to you. Because you troll me, are abusive when I try to be civil and because you can’t admit when you’re wrong. In such a scenario it does make me feel righteous and in yer face Boldy because frankly it’s too good an opportunity to miss! Knowing it must hurt or annoy you to be schooled as...

    Then you’re guilty of being late on parade. The cup run didn’t start until January. Those three 1 nils in succession last autumn weren’t because we were hard to beat but because we were incredibly fortunate to ride out victorious. They could so easily have gone the other way and ended in defeat...

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    That’s the response I’d expect from a rose-tint fan who doesn’t like anyone reasonably challenging the club; and when proved correct they then go green tinted too! For many of those types, only now are the chickens coming home to roost but it shouldn’t mean we forget how many of us were calling...

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    I wasn’t being sarcastic. I’m genuinely intrigued by all this hope that we’ll beat Newcastle when to do this I know we have to score a goal and have proven beyond doubt that we can’t do this. Just looking for evidence, real data to substantiate such claims. Otherwise frankly they deserve...

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    And there have been plenty of opportunities where he didn’t - as per my point. Btw, if you’re struggling with the term opportunity as you seem to be doing, I mean where he didn’t have just the choice of hoofing or holding; but playing forwards to someone to run onto etc without losing...

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    This. There was so much to be concerned about back then and yet as you say the lynch mob just wouldn’t hear of it. Some are still banging on about Locadia, Ali J etc needing more time, will come good blah blah. Well times up and they didn’t. And plenty of people called them out then as they did...

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    It won’t but they’re just as likely to win 4-3. You could never say that about us. If you score you’ve a chance. That’s what’s scary when you know we can’t. Every game you know is lost the moment we concede.

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    I’d be careful citing the only goal in living memory as some sort of defence! And GoTM at that?! Stephens inability to pass forwards is legendary. By comparison there have been scores of occasions where we were left thinking what might have been had he. Yes the wingers and forwards would...

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    Well it was obvious someone was going to say who to? As if Stephens hasn’t had opportunities this season to play it forward during a promising bit of play. The Amex has groaned with audible frustration during many games to this effect as SgtSideways kills all momentum and the opportunity was lost.

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    Fair enough. I want my midfielders to be combative leaders, creating and scoring goals too. He’s the antithesis of Nobby Horton in that respect.

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    You fell into my trap. Because that’s simply not true. There have been plenty of times throughout the season where a break was on yet Sgt Sideways failed to see it. Which in fairness is hard to do. When you’re always looking back, never forward.

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    This is it. Cardiff are in the ascendancy and despite losing they score goals. If we’d lost 3-2 to Chelsea etc then I’d have some optimism. But we will play negative don’t concede football without scoring until the wire and I just don’t see that being enoughwhereas I can see Cardiff beating...

    Why’s it got to be either hoof or backwards? What about playing a forward pass?

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    Exactly. The sand has nearly run out and yet still Stephens turns and passes backwards. I’m not joking when I say I half expected him at Millwall to knock his penalty sideways rather than shoot.

    I think a lot of our rose tinted brigade don’t get it’s not so much the defeats. But the nature of them. You’re always got a chance if you’re scoring goals is one of the oldest cliches in the game. But we don’t. So we don’t. This is indisputable fact now. So where’s the hope we’ll beat Newcastle...

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    It’s not really about spirit anymore is it? But facts. And majority of fans, with good reason, believe Cardiff have enough to keep them up whilst we don’t. Based on facts. Like our inability to score. And the fixtures we still face. Blind faith ain’t gonna help. Nor is delusion. Doesn’t make you...

    [Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

    My frustration stems from seeing this a long long way off, pre Xmas in fact when I really wanted us to change manager. Trouble then was people decried anyone suggesting it e.g. ‘we’ve just won three 1 nils’, ‘we beat Palace’, ‘there are 3 worse teams than us’, ‘we’ve more points than last season...

    Oh please, not that old chestnut. If it wasn’t for fans like me that went week in week out to Gillingham, part of the Falmer for all team, on the pitch at the goldstone etc you might not even have a team to support. I do grow tired of people who’s only argument against complaints is to go...
